Evidence of bona fide marriage to send in with I-130 package

[pm5k 129]

What exactly can one send in with the I-130 package for proof of bona fide marriage? Does one actually send bank records and photos in with the I-130+documents? Currently, I am thinking of sending in photos as well as bank information for a jointly owned bank account. What else do people recommend sending in/what can one send in?

Thanks

Hi,

Include affidavits from closed relatives who can vouch for your marriage.

Add if possible receipts of all the expensive jewellery and gold if brought that has both your names on it.

It might help...

Thanks

You should read the instructions carefully so you base your documents on exactly what they are asking

Pictures need to be dated (otherwise they wont count)

Bank statements showing both names (I also added an original letter from the bank stating you are joint and when date open)

ALL your bills joint (utilities, rent contract etc) if you don't have one now, request the company to provide you one.

Tax Returns W2's

Letter of employment (position, time, hours, pay)

Marriage certificate

Bona fide marriage docs has to be notarized see a sample of what I sent (please make it your own)

I wrote a letter explaining how we met and how our relationship developed.

Half of this information is wrong.

Pictures do not need to be dated, you need to add a caption for each one stating the date, place, and names of people in the picture.

Tax returns are needed late for the Affidavit of support NOT the I-130 petition

Same with letter of employment - needed for AOS not I-130

You do not need to notarize any documents.

An evolution of relationship letter is good to have, but not a must.

OP: Read the guides, there's lots of good information and ideas there.
