What are the best proofs of bona fide relationships for USCIS and the consulate?

I honestly believe those are the documents, showing that people share finances: gift receipts and money transfer slips for K-1 interview. Joint active bank account statements for AOS, etc. Because nobody is going to spend their own money for people they don't genuinely care about.

Also, documents, confirming trips together and staying in the same hotel rooms - you don't do that with someone you paid for sponsoring your visa. And faking such documents is pricey.

All the rest can be easily faked - happy pictures, even with families - (family members might be also interested in their relatives successfull immigration and participate in pretending), postcards, skype chats, you name it...

What do you think, fellow visa travelers?

You would be surprised what people would do for Visa fraud. A beneficiary can pay a petitioner money so he/she can transfer it back to her/him. They can book trips and hotel rooms together, but that doesn't mean they have to sleep in the same bed, or even check in the same hotel.

Like everything else, if there's a will, there's a way.
