I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how long the proof of relationship document i send to cic should be, we have tens of thousands of pages of chat logs and emails. How much of this will they want?
last 6 months should be good enoughAmericanlove said:I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how long the proof of relationship document i send to cic should be, we have tens of thousands of pages of chat logs and emails. How much of this will they want?
You're rightKJG said:if you have had a long relationship you might want to send a few showing the progression of your relationship.....not just the last few months....definitely go back to the beginning and pull some from each week/month.....
Yup. And multiple columns for chat logs, to reduce the white space.BC_guy said:
Considering there could be hundreds of pages... has anybody printed their emails double sided ?
yes...you can definitely copy and paste......and for you are right.....start with emails at the beginning of your relationship all the way up to filing the app......Shylox said:I have a similar situation, we've been together for 7 years and have so many emails and chat logs it's not even funny. I've just been going through and pulling a few from each week or month for the entire period of our relationship up until the most recent. This seems way better to me than only showing the last 6 months.
I also have been putting chat logs into columns because it uses less pages and looks better.
Just to confirm though, it is okay for me to copy and paste this stuff into a word document and print from there right? I don't have to print the original emails/logs? I'm asking because some of our emails have so many replies that they are up to 100 pages for one single email so it easier for me to copy and paste it in chunks rather than print the entire 100 pages. I don't see why this would be a problem but I just wanted to make sure.
We did the same thing with our Facebook pages, and plan to do it with our Twitter accounts too. I'm worried though because neither of us want to change our Facebook to say that we're married and I'm hoping that they won't question that because it was a choice we made that has nothing to do with hiding the fact that were married or whatever, it's just something we feel is our business and didn't want to make it completely public. So, hopefully that isn't a problem.veradis said:If you're a big facebook user this might be good for you. I put in a lot of screenshots of my facebook profile to show me talking publicly about my relationship, my family and friends knowing about it and being supportive. Also when you change status to engaged and married you usually get everyone congratulating you. That is very honest, public (and date and time-stamped) proof of both your relationship and everyone in your life knowing about it.
