Help with preparing AOS packet

[Dsero1 0]

okay questions,

if i file the i-130 and i-485 together do i need to put a certified copy of my marriage certificate for each?

like one for the 130 and a second for the 485? or is one sufficient for both?

for copies, can i do a scanned copy? like scan and print at home? example : birth cert. social security card ect..

evidence of a bonafide marriage?

can it be marriage cert? pictures? letters? ( if letters can it be copies? i would like to keep the originals )

Each form is it's own "stand alone" document, so it will need it's own evidence. (they can approve one form, and deny another)

Copies are sufficient - unless originals are specifically asked for.

-Yes, include copies of CERTIFIED copies with both forms. If the certified copies are not expensive (like in AZ $26) then you are encoraged to submit th original CERTIFIED copies. They will most likely be retrned to you at the interview.

- Scan and print method for docments is just fine

- Marriage certificate does not really prove that marriage is bona fide, it just proves that you are married lol I know for initial evidence UCSIC don't like pictres very much, but we included 4-5 pics in or application anyway. Letters is not a very "hard" evidence either. Examples of evidence of bonafide marriage are: bank statement showing a joint bank account, bills in both of yor names (phone, utilities, etc), lease in both names, joint insrance polecies (car, health, life), joint car ownership. Some simpler things are: Costco membership together, gym membership together, mail addressed to you both, letters from work stating you are each others emergency contracts. As an alternative, you could also inclde AFFIDAVITS from other people of their knowledge of your marriage... Good luck!
