I am getting ready to file I-130 for my wife who is currently in Honduras.

One of the requirements is to show evidence of a bonafide marriage. I am

sending about 15 pictures and many letters/cards with the application.

Is that enough? Is it mandatory to send sworn Affidavits from friends?

Thanks for your help!

Marriage certificate, wedding pics, pics with friends and family, call/chat logs, letters/cards.. If you have a joint bank account u can also include that. That should be enough. Sworn affidavits from from friends are not mandatory :)

Aside from the ones mentioned, it would also help to send them copies of your passports stamps (including the old passport if there's any) to show that you are travelling back and fort to her country.

Make sure the pictures have the date on them, I got a RFE because of that, my camera does not print the date on the pictures, but I sent the properties of the pictures on my mac that detailed everything like, date, size, hour etc.

If you can in the back write who is in each picture.

Don't rely on sworn affidavits too much. Best proof is stamps in passport and ticket stubs showing you've been together, joint property ownership, joint bills, joint bank accounts, powers of attorney for each other and such. Pictures are good but they're secondary evidence.

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.
