Hello!

Below is a list of what I'm including as evidence of our bona fide marriage. Please let me know if you think this is enough. We have been married since 2007, and lived together in Hungary for the past two years, but I am back in the US now. I am a USC. We never had a joint bank account unfortunately, but we filed taxes jointly.

-emails dating back to 2004

-copies of mailed envelopes with both our names at the same address

-an apartment rental agreement with both our names

-US marriage certificate

-tax transcripts for 2 years, Married Filing Jointly

What do you think? Enough? Should I get an affidavit from a friend or family member attesting to the bona fides of our marriage?

Thank you!

Affidavit could not hurt. Pics together are also good.

You don't really need affidavits, as you have lease agreement & jointly filed tax transcripts (these are great proofs of continuing relationship). Just include 5-10 photos.
