Is this enough Bonifide marriage evidence?

It wasn't enough for me, and I sent more than that. But once I responded to the RFE with a ton of more evidence that they asked for, they approved us very quickly.

Sounds like a unique situation. When people claim to have lived together in the same country, they do tend to ask for more sometimes. Usually there are specific red flags to address when this happens, so no generalized one size fits all answer to this.

Yes I did my homework this time, Pushark, before you ask.

Me and my husband don't have any joint properties or bank accounts or anything as I didn't live in my husband's country for more than 2 months at a time. For proof, I have photos of us together, phone call records, flight tickets of me visiting, and an affidavit from my mom stating that our relationship is true. Is this enough or do I need more? This is for my I-130.

Since he is from Pakistan, you will probably get hit with the request for evidence I had to produce.

First i had to show how we met and how i paid for the dating site

then all correspondence during our courtship, emails, cards, sms messages, phone calls, chats, etc

then the meeting and photos of it with same letters

then he had to prove where he learned English

then travel for wedding

new photos, new phone calls

proof of how traveled with me, wedding annoucements, who attended, where we go for honeymoon, and affavidat's from his family to say they attend or why they could not.

birth cerifates of all our children

death certificates of family who could not attend like my dad

affidavit saying when i told my mom that i would marry him

all trips had to show proof of where i stayed, hotel receitps, bank statements for 2 months before and aftrer the trips

and how i paid for the airfare.

My request for evidence was 4 pages long

so start to gather copies of all chats and phone records and they can not be cell phones

good luck

There have actually been several people that got the same RFE, filing for beneficiaries in Morocco and Egypt, that I know of. Those are just the ones that I know of, there may be more from other countries, including Pakistan. If you haven't already sent in your documents, I would load it with more proof of your relationship, including letters of affidavits from his family.

While it's certainly possible those RFE's were the result of too little relationship evidence submitted with the petition, I doubt it. IMO, it's more likely the RFE's were issued because of either case specific issues or in some cases even random selection. To conclude they would have been avoided by submitting more up front would be to use the most common of logical fallacies, "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc." or "Coincidental Correlation". (Google those) That many others sail through the petition process easily for beneficiaries coming from the same countries, is the clear indicator of the false logic being applied.

If you've got more MEANINGFUL relationship evidence, certainly include it. If you've got obvious red flags in your case, address them. If you don't know, you're not ready to file.
