You have to send in physical pictures.

Also for the interview a wedding video is useless as they will not be able to play the video.

Pictures are the best items to take for actual proof of the marriage ceremony.

Way too much.

A couple pictures of your wedding will be sufficient.

Good Luck!

For the bonafide, is it ok to send in my wedding video on a cd? Or is that too much?

Thanks in advance,

J

They won't view a CD. I recommend photos be printed several to a page on plain paper, in color. The I-130 is not an application. It is a petition for alien relative. Once the petition is approved, your relative will be invited to apply for a visa.

"Evidence" should reflect the relationship, not just the "wedding".
