What do you think? Thank you so much ! I dont think I could've done it without Visa Journey and everyone in it!

I'll let everyone know when I do send it today

PS: for bona fide marriage- no joint bank statements/leases yet- we dont have it we just got married but will be doing that and have it for the interview

The address is fine.

Could someone be so kind as to tell me if my packet seems okay? Thank you.

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

Looks fine to me. You could relax on some of that evidence. Skype and text messages aren't that important for a marriage case. You have other evidence of a relationship.

I agree. All your evidence is is a little overkill..... for mine we only supplied evidence of our joint banking and an affidavit. We know we are going to be asked to bring everything (phone records, info of flights, shared utility bills, photos) to the interview so we figured we would give the guys at USCIS less paperwork to deal with as they go through our application. Plus we hear that they ask if you have any new evidence to give them in the interview....so you don't want to give them everything you have and then say "no" in the interview. Just my two cents!

If it's already sent... don't stress about it!

I already sent it haha... but I know it was a lot!

The reason for doing so was I didnt have ANY evidence of joint finances yet :/

So that will definitely be the new information to give that at the interview (joint lease, banking, etc)

So my nervous self just figured I'd send as much as I could to prove a relationship without finances haha...

thanks )
