Hello, I have over 10k pages of chat logs.
AFTER LOTS OF HARD work I reduced them to 300 pages which could be 150 sheets if printed double sided. Has anyone sent this much chat logs? is this too much? if it is then would 100 sheets double sided would be good?

Is it better to include older or newer?'=
any tips to reduce it?

Thank you.

That is way too much. What i did was, i print screened a bit of chat logs per month or per week with date showing. 3 years chat logs on 15 pages 1 sided. And they find my relationship on going with non stop communication. Must likely they just want to see dates that you two are communicating, they wont read any conversations except the dates.

As per the new app, they want no more than 10 pages of communication evidence.

I am wondering if you send the old forms and the application is not started to be processed by and agent until February will they want people to send the new application forms. I am asking this as when I sent our application July 11,2014 they updated that form and made us redo the new form which held our application up for 47 days the length of time required to get approval for sponsorship at the time. I have looked at the new forms and some of the conditions are a lot shorter regarding photos etc IE no more then 20 pics. This is a question only ???????

It doesn't matter. The fact that they have stated that limit in the new app indicates they don't want more than that regardless.

Hey I had the the same issues mine was in thousands too. I was able to reduce to just over 100 pages double sided. I also submitted over 200 pics. Then again, I was just so paranoid and I didn't want them to request anything additionally. However, I submitted the old forms. I can't believe they have these new restrictions now, I would have gone crazy trying to decide between 20 pics lol

I did not send actual chats or actual emails (as in the content) what I did was screenshot my main email page on gmail, showing the email titles and dates. For call logs since I use a calling service (rebtel) I screenshot the list of calls over the last few months. I did not include chats at all because we dont really chat. We talk by voice or send email if it's important and needs to be typed. We send lots of pics by Whatsapp but I didnt send that. I did send lots of photos though from previous trips to visit him. We were approved with no need for interview. So don't get all caught up in sending an encyclopedia of chats. My thought is they don't need to know your private conversations. They just need to know you have maintained regular contact.
