ChatExhibit

For I-130 · I-129F (K-1) · I-485 filings

Show USCIS the relationship — organized, dated, labeled.

Your relationship lived in chat. ChatExhibit turns your official Instagram data export into a clean, dated, clearly labeled PDF of your conversations — a communication record an officer can actually read.

Runs entirely on your own computer. Preview your conversations free before you pay anything.

Illustrative sample — a fictional conversation. Your PDF is generated from your own export.

Get early access + launch pricing

ChatExhibit is in development. Leave your email and we’ll tell you the moment it’s ready — with early-bird pricing for the list.

One email when we launch, occasional progress notes. No spam, no sharing your address. Unsubscribe anytime.

Why this matters

Officers weigh quality and coherence, not volume.

Chat logs are communication records — meaningful evidence of an ongoing relationship, especially for couples who dated long-distance. The practitioner consensus is consistent: don’t dump 300 unlabeled pages. Submit a representative sample that spans your relationship timeline, behind a short cover statement saying who is communicating and what dates are covered, with every message clearly dated.

That’s exactly the shape of what ChatExhibit produces — and it should line up with the timeline you state on your petition.

How it works

Three steps. Your messages never leave your computer.

  1. Request your data from Instagram

    Use Meta’s official “Download Your Information” tool — it emails you a ZIP of your own messages. We’ll give you a step-by-step guide.

  2. Open the ZIP in ChatExhibit — preview free

    Every conversation, merged and in order, on your own computer. Browse it all free, so you know it works on your data before paying.

  3. Generate your evidence PDF

    Choose the conversation and date coverage, answer a few questions, and generate a text-searchable PDF sized and labeled for a USCIS filing. Pay per export — no subscription.

The document

Built the way filing guides say to build it.

Privacy

Nothing is uploaded. We never see a single word.

These are the private messages of your relationship. ChatExhibit is a desktop app that runs entirely on your own computer — your export ZIP, your messages, and your photos are never sent to us or anyone else. No cloud processing, no account that stores your conversations.

What we can’t promise

Straight answers, because your filing deserves them.

  • USCIS decides your case — not software. Officers weigh the whole filing under their own standards. A well-organized communication record helps them see your relationship clearly; nobody can promise an outcome, and anyone who does is overclaiming.
  • We don’t give immigration advice. ChatExhibit formats your own export. What to include in your petition belongs with your attorney or accredited representative.
  • We can’t recover what isn’t in your export. If messages were unsent or missing, the document discloses it — honesty in the record protects your credibility.
For practices

Unlimited exports for your practice.

Immigration attorneys and consultants: packet assembly is a grind. A firm tier is coming — batch exports, consistent labeling, cover statements, and translator-certificate slots handled every time, plus a three-step instruction sheet you can send to clients. Join the waitlist and we’ll invite you to review the format early.

Roadmap

Facebook Messenger — planned, not built yet.

ChatExhibit reads Instagram’s official data export today. Messenger conversations come out of the same Meta export, so support for them is on the roadmap — but it isn’t built, and we won’t put a date on it we can’t keep. If your relationship evidence lives in Messenger rather than Instagram DMs, leave your email and we’ll write once, when there’s something real to report.

Tell me when Messenger works

One email if and when Messenger support ships. Nothing else.

We’ll only use this to tell you about Messenger support. No other mail.

Beta testers

Use it free before it’s public. Tell us what breaks.

We’re looking for a small number of people to run ChatExhibit on their own export before launch. The exchange is plain: you get free access, and you tell us honestly what didn’t work, what confused you, and what was missing. No payment either direction, no obligation to say anything nice, and you can stop whenever you want.

Nothing you import ever leaves your device — that holds during the beta exactly as it does after launch. We see your feedback, never your messages.

Be a free beta tester

Leave your email and we’ll be in touch when the beta opens.

Beta places are limited, so we may not be able to include everyone who writes in.

Pricing

Pay per export. No subscription.

Planned pricing is a one-time $29–49 per export. Preview is always free — you pay only when you generate the PDF. Early-access list members get launch pricing.
