Hi,

Planning to file I-130 for my Vietnamese wife of 2+ years.

On the instructions for the I-130, it clearly states several pieces of evidence, followed by "OR" that should be submitted.

"Joint property ownership" OR

"Documentation showing co-mingling of finances" OR

"blah blah and more blah" OR

"Other evidence"

Should I follow the instructions, or should I be submitting more evidence?

I have original receipt of the ring I bought, tons of pictures/videos (over 3 years worth), joint bank statements+telephone records, and could probably come up with more.

Should I send that all in even though it is not asking for it?

Thanks for the help!

I sent some 15 pictures, before wedding, during wedding, honeymoon, after wedding, with family, also a couple of sworn statements from family (i sent my mom and her mom). You can submit the wedding ring receipt, honestly more can be better (joint bills, bank statement def good), but you dont want to send 10 lbs.

Good Luck.

For HCMC you submit anything that you can find that shows the relationship is bonafide... Not a time to cut corners... Replace or with and.... if you don't have an item, see what it will take to get it...
