This.. I said the same thing bro. If they deny my wife I won't appeal. I'll move to Indonesia. It's really that simple. I admire the fact that you would do the same and move to your wife.

As for the communication, I suggest you sign up for FB, start calling more often on whatsapp and use Messenger for video calls. My wife's internet sucks and Skype doesn't work. We video call through Messenger without issue.

Cheers man

The visa officer asked for more proof of communication and specifically mentioned Whatsapp and Skype. You have lots of Whatsapp records, so send them. The cards, proof of phone calls, receipts, and her Facebook posts should also be added. Since they have actually asked for more proof, this is when you send everything you've got.

Also include an explanation of what you are sending. That is, explain why you do not use Skype, why you don't call each other much, why you mostly use Whatsapp to communicate.

Listen my friend, this is what we provided as a proof of relationship:
1. few photos of the wedding
2. few photos of outings
In total it was around 10 photos, that's all.
Almost never called each other or texted, we just used to go out and have fun and NOT WASTE time on taking photos and selfies, we went out hundreds of times within 6 months period, we have only 4 photos from these outings.
So u wanna tell me that ur situation is worse than our situation? lol
We sent them the 10 photos and wrote them note telling them the truth and also saying, and i wrote the following myself: If that's a problem you are more than welcome to interview us.
Our process was done within 6 months.
So load up ur energies and go for it. Remember my friend, you have nothing to fear if u have nothing to hide.

Communication is only important in a long distance relationship like the OP is in. From what you posted about going on hundreds of outings it sounds like you spent a lot of time with your spouse. Therefore, communication would not be important proof for you.

I sent in about 300 pages of whatsapp texts from the beginning of our relationship until the date of the application. We weren't really phone talkers and it didn't get questioned.

OK so since the letter says "proof such as skype and whatsapp records", i will explain that we don't skype because my wife's internet is too slow, and after that i'll send in my entire whatsapp log of 500 pages. There are some intimate parts but I don't care, they can read all of it if they want because it shows how much we talk to each other despite the distance.

here's another couple that prefers whatsapp over everything else. my wife's internet is so bad that we can't skype, and we can't voip call either because the call keeps dropping every few seconds. to make matters worse, power outages in her area are common and unpredictable. landline calls are expensive and for some reason only seem to connect about 70% of the time.

so yeah... we end up talking to each other mainly through whatsapp, and we're actually ok with it. we get to talk and send dirty messages to each other no matter where we are. whether i'm in the office, in the lunch room, whether she's at university, or sitting with her family/friends, etc. it's like telepathic communication, no one can eavesdrop or hear what we're saying.

send what you have. you will be fine, my friend.

That the good way ;) You explain what you don't have and show everything you have ;)

Haha. Ours had a few all out text fights, at least it looks genuine. We had more that 500 pages. I took random chunks out after making it 6 pt font, double sided in 2 columns. I didn't think someone was going to analyze each text.

My wife and I use what app to communicate all day and skype for video calls on the weekend.
Download your whatsup text. You can either print 25-50 pages of your most recent calls or you can use the application someone had on this forum to reduce the number of pages. I printed 50 pages 11×17 of our recent call.
You said your wife has a Facebook. If she posted pictures about you and you got some likes or comments from friends and such screen captures it and send it. It is better if you can make a mini life story. My wife and I both have Facebook so I had picture of when we first became fb friends, first get away together, engagement and obviously wedding.
That is all I had for communication. I also added a pet of my western union transfers. Try that.
