Proof for I-130. Did I provide enough?

[jet6619 0]

Hi, all. I sent my package last month to the Phoenix office. That was around Sept 12th. Then it got sent to California and from there to Lee Summit, MO. From checking online and calling them, my package is under the initial review stage. My question is in regard to the bonified marriage part. I sent my marriage certificate copy, bank account statement with both our names on it, and renters insurance policy letter with both our names. From reading the requirements on this site, USCIS, and the Romanian embassy site, I've come to understand that photos were not necessarily required. I did not send any photos, except the passport ones on the G-325. Has anyone else done this? Will they ask for photos while in the USCIS offices? I thought that would have been more than enough as proof, since it shows joint financial mingling. I'm noticing that some are sending stuff like chat logs, flight itineraries, and passport stamps.

I'm not too worried about my package, since I followed the guide on it to the T. I just now feel like I provided the minimum when it comes to proof.

I doubt that they will ask for more. You have to understand sending in evidence at this stage is all dependent really on your embassy. High Fraud Embassies (like my husband Nigeria) we do what is call front-loading. Putting our arsenal of chats, IM's, emails, Skyping, receipts the whole kit and caboodle. Cuz this is the packet that will evidently be in the hands of the CO who will interview you so you want them to have the most best evidence.

The best thing to do is read your countries interview review and check out your countries forums. See what others have said and done to get a feel what the CO's want.

honestly, if you already sent the package, what´s done is done. if you need more, they will ask for it. welcome to the waiting game

Hi ,

We sent photos last year with us together in some trips ,our marriage photos,chat logs ,flight itineraries,passport stamps,etc to be sure everything will be ok ...The thing is that you shouldn't be worry ,if they want some more evidence (which i doubt they will ask it for bonafide marriage)they will ask for it and at least you will know they are working on your file.We got our NOA 1 last year on september,14 and we had RFE in may 2012(after almost 7 months of waiting) -a copy of our marriage certificate-,which i am sure it was in the package because i checked 5 times if everything is in there before to sent it .The fact that they asked something didn't scared me because our petition was approved 2 weeks later after we sent our RFE ,what really made us feel very anxious was the looong time of waiting until they asked for something or till we got NOA2.

I wish you best of luck and i hope you'll get much faster your NOA2!
