Years, not a sample
Two people married five years have tens of thousands of messages. Screenshotting a representative handful by hand is the part filers abandon halfway through.
For Form I-751 filers
USCIS wants evidence you built a life together, and the longest record you have is probably sitting on your phone. ScribeHold copies years of texts with your spouse onto your Windows PC and turns the ones you choose into a single numbered PDF, with the dates and senders the device recorded. It reads your messages; it cannot send them.
Two people married five years have tens of thousands of messages. Screenshotting a representative handful by hand is the part filers abandon halfway through.
Each message keeps the timestamp and sender the device recorded, so the record reads in order rather than as a pile of images.
The conversations you pick become a numbered PDF you can reference by page, plus a cover page you sign. Re-export as often as you need.
Your messages are read and stored on your own machine, and they stay there.
You need the iPhone in your hand and its passcode. Apple requires you to tap the passcode on the device for every copy on iOS 16.1 and later, and nothing here gets around that. If the phone holding the history is gone, or it belongs to a spouse who will not unlock it, this will not work for you.
Messages you already deleted are not recoverable. ScribeHold reads what iOS still holds; if iOS has purged it, it is gone. A thread you cleared last year is not coming back.
You also do not need us for a short marriage with a thin record. If three months of texts covers it, screenshots printed to PDF are free and they are enough. This is worth paying for when the record is long enough that assembling it by hand is the obstacle.
We cannot tell you what to file or whether your evidence is sufficient. That is a question for an immigration attorney, and a consultation is worth the call.
ScribeHold isn’t available to buy just yet. We’re putting the finishing touches on the release.
