I just took a lot of screen shots, about 4-5 from each month. That shows that they actually are facebook conversations. I hope that should be fine.

You took screenshots of a complete day in a month or 5 screenshots of 5 different dates in a month?

Don't over think it too much! They just want some proof that you have been in genuine contact with each other on a regular basis - on different dates over a period of months/years. Just give them enough that they can see the relationship is genuine. My husband and I included conversations from 2-3 days in the beginning and end of each month just to be safe - no issues so far.

If you don't have a lot of photos together, you might want to include more facebook conversations to compensate. We had photos from every visit we made to each other over 3 years as well as family events, so that was our biggest proof.

What I did to get to the top of the conversation without it being too much of a pain was following this trick: http://www.bloggertipsseotricks.com/2015/02/read-view-oldest-first-message-scrolling.html.
If that doesn't work (which it didn't for a while after facebook update), then I did step 1, installed a auto mouse clicker and let it just click away on "see older messages", while I was away from the computer till it reached the top.

Of course you could do a mix of screenshots and just the history in text (of history that you find hard to reach) if it's too much of a problem.

You're welcome!

And if you have long (maybe important) conversation, do like one whole conversation or if you have a shorter convo do like 2-3 parts? I wouldn't go over 2 pages a day tbh. If you send too many pages they will shred a lot of it, before it even reaches the person who is going to read it.

I did 4 screenshots on one page, sometimes 6 but I printed it on the back of the page.

My conversations are so long that it might take over 10 pages for one conversations in 2 hours :/ what im thinking is just take screen shots of random messages on 4 different dates in a month and put them on 1 page then for the next month 4 screenshots on different dates and put them on another page. 1 screenshot will contain 10 messages

That's fine too yea, you only need to show you two communicate like a couple (don't only add the good, lovey dovey stuff) I only did more for important relationship changing conversations (i just choose certain parts of the convo. :)

I took one screenshot of the beginning of each conversation, then I copied and pasted the rest to Wordpad because that used a lot of paper and ink to print screen a full conversation. Also, I took one conversation from every 3 or so months for the years we were together to show we continued talking the whole time and were in a relationship! I also added a note on Wordpad explaining to the officer why it's on WordPad.

Something like this:

The following pages include conversations between me and my spouse. We retrieved these messages from Facebook. I took screenshots of the beginning of each conversation to show you they are legitimate but copied and pasted the rest to Wordpad because of how long each conversation is. I believe it would be easier for you to read in the Wordpad format.

That way you already explained why you did it the way you did, and wont have to worry about a confused officer.
