I finally got it after 6 long months of waiting. My notice of intent to revoke letter came today. I have 30 days to send in evidence of a bonafide marriage. They say my husband was not able to answer questions about what I did for chrsmas or even other basic questions about me and did not submit suffient documents. But they did not ask me to send anything specific, just that it was up to me the petioner to prove the bona fide marriage. If anybody can think of anything for me to send pls reply. I am still singing praises cos at least they didn't revoke us.

Hi there, the most primary evidence for bona fide marriage is going to be your marriage certificate. Below is a list of some secondary evidence that you might want to consider providing:

USCIS defined secondary evidences1) Documentation showing joint ownership or property

2) Lease showing joint tenancy of a common residence

3) Documentation showing co-mingling of financial resources

4) Birth certificate(s) of child(ren) born to the petitioner and the beneficiary

5) Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties having personal knowledge of the bona fides of the marital relationship

6) Any other relevant documentation to establish that there is an ongoing marital union

Sample secondary evidences

Asset purchase documentation such as home, car etc. under both names such as joint titles, joint names in car registration

Joint loans together in mortgage, auto etc.

Lease of the home, car etc. under both names

Joint bank account in petitioner's and/or beneficiary's country

Stocks, mutual funds, retirement funds documentation together

Credit, Debit, ATM card details under both names

Money transfer documentation that shows spousal support

Life Insurance Policy under both the petitioner and the beneficiary names

Will prepared by the petitioner and/or the beneficiary showing other as beneficiary

If marriage happened in prior year, income tax filing together

Joint church tax statements

Joint invoices - utility bills such as phone, electricity, water, gas, internet, cable TV etc.

Hope this helps!

They already have our marriage certificate and he has never been here so there are no accounts in his name. But I do have bills with my married name on them.

It is very important that you respond with a lot of evidence and reasons about how your relationship is real no matter how the interview went. I think you have been saving this stuff , now is the time to arrange it for the best presentation.

Include proofs of time you spent together: photocopies passport stamps, plane itineraries and boarding passes, hotel bills, photos of you during your trips to his country, credit card bills showing you used your card in his hometown, etc...

I don't think letters addressed to you in your married name are very strong evidence: it just proves you are legally married, which they already know, it doesn't prove the marriage is entered in good faith.

Sent you a PM I need to know exactly what they said. You must refute anything specific they said and in general show that any logical sane person would conclude that your relationship is true.
