does money transfer count as Bonifide Marriage?

thanks...=)

It might serve as partial evidence of a bona fide marriage, it might not. Without further information, it's impossible to answer your question properly. What visa/process are you applying for? What stage of that process are you at?

From USC Spouse to Foreign Spouse, absolutely.

IMO, it gets a bit iffy going the other way.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

I think for a marriage they'd ask more than that.

Ideally they'd expect you to be living together, but if not, at least to prove frequent visits to each other (e.g. by showing plane tickets, boarding passes etc.), prove that you know each other's families etc. If possible, they'd also want to see proof of "co-mingling" your lives - and that's anything from joint tax returns to joint bank accounts to joint house ownership/joint lease etc.

Pictures, post cards, affidavits from friends and family, phone bill statments etc. can also be used as evidence of a bona fide marriage.

I don't see why money tranfer would be a problem (epsecially if it's from the USC to the foreign spouse, as someone said), but only if presented alongside other strong evidence. If presented alone, it wouldn't be sufficient.
