Hi all, just wondering what level of evidence need to be sent with the I-130 as evidence of a bona fide marriage?

Thankfully, due to the painful process of getting Irish immigration permission for my now USC spouse, I have two full lever arch folders of relationship evidence all the way back to 2012. I don't want to send it all (more than thousand pages) so just want to get a feel for what is needed.

I propose sending the following:

1 - copies of utility bills for 2 or 3 months of each year since 2012 (including most recent). The bills are in both our names and we still live in the same residence

2 - copy mortgage approval (from 2007) and recent mortgage statement. To prove I own the property (hence no joint lease).

3 - copy of Irish immigration approval letter from Oct 2013 showing approval to remain in Ireland on the basis of my now USC spouse being my partner (clearly stated in the first paragraph of the letter).

4 - 8 to 10 time stamped pictures since 2012 of myself and USC spouse.

5 - flight tickets/boarding passes of trips taken together since 2012 (mostly to visit spouse's family in the U.S.

6 - recent medical insurance certificate shouting my spouse as under my health insurance policy.

Do you think this will suffice? Or what more should I provide. I want to strike a balance between providing enough evidence without it being overwhelming.

Also, when sending pictures, would you write a note on the back or staple the picture to a sheet with a typed explanation below?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Looks good. You can bring the folder to the interview, but Dublin tends to be a reasonably easy embassy to get approved in.

As to the pictures, if you can I would recommend printing them out on ordinary paper, 4-6 to a page, with little captions underneath, but if not, captions on the back and put them in a ziplock bag.
