    Can anyone help so about to put an application in me and my wife have been together 5 years and we have issues with the Facebook messages we have been communicating on

    basically

    we have done the download of messages off Facebook and printed them out etc say 2015 2016 2017 and so on

    But we have been told it’s wrong and you have to actually screenshot the message off Facebook messenger problem is my Facebook got hacked on 2019 and I can’t go beyond that date scrolling back through messenger

    Don't think it is written down anywhere with regards to having to have screenshots.

    Requirement is proof of relationship and that is more than just Facebook messenger. Sure I have seen that advice is to extract data from Facebook and we used extracts over about a one year period. Evidence of meeting multiple times and links into family was I believe much more valuable.

    Agreed absolutely no need to show content of messages,screenshot of summary of messages is fine and like you say photos dìfferant places, people and times spread over as long as possible far better evidence.

    Whoever it was that told you that you have to screenshot your messages is talking out of there backside, we simply selected 1 days messages per month downloaded them then printed them off, which is exactly what you seem to have done.

    Hi and :welcome: here, Colin4000 :)
    If you can show a series of dated messages over a period of time, that should be fine.
    I remember doing this over a period of only a year or so, and I deleted anything from the messages that I didn't think was relevant.
    It is just part of the process to prove your relationship is valid and true, photos with dates and a very brief description of the location where the photo was taken are also very useful :)

    Include a page of information about when and how you met and be honest about everything, perhaps even mention that your messages to each other are difficult to obtain in the past.
    The Eco wants to get an idea of how truthful your wife's application is.

    My wife got her spousal visa over 12 years ago.
