820 visa Evidence = 150 shades of grey
 

Hi Guys, we're collating evidence of our relationship and our contact since we entered into our relationship.
However, a big part of that are whatsapp messages (100's) that are rather on the naughty side to say the least.

Do we just submit them anyway, are they looking at the content or just at the continuation of dates...

:o:o:o:o:o:o

Many thanks in advance

What you need to prove is that you are de facto (if you aren't married). So, you need to prove you live together as man and wife minus the legal document. So, mainly they are going to want to see evidence of co-habitation such as joint bank accounts, joint tenancy / mortgage.

You don't need to send them everything from Whatsapp, just a couple of excerpts, and i would go for stuff discussing the suff Immigration likes - long term plans, any financial stuff, serious comments about settling in Aus etc
And be careful, check every word and make sure its not ambiguous - nothing about meeting old girlfriends or having a good relationship with your ex. They do read this stuff and I now of someone who got a 'please explain' because they made some comments on viber about having a party to celebrate getting the visa. Apparently Immi thought this was a strange thing to do and thought it showed they were only together to get said visa.

If your strongest evidence is just e messaging you may have a problem proving a de facto relationship.
