Proof of bonafide marriage

[Elguero5 4]

I have been with my husband for almost twenty years but we were only able to become legally married about three years ago.  We have many

birthday cards that we gave each other through the years but since we were already living together there obviously was no need to mail them to each other.

My question is should those cards still be taken to the visa interview?  Because they are not postmarked would they still be considered proof of a 

bonafide marriage or since they are not postmarked would they even be considered?  Thanks.

Do they have the dates or ages written on them anywhere? If so then yes they could be evidence.

 

If you have been living together that whole time, then I think a better piece of proof is evidence of you two cohabitating that length of time. Leases, titles etc... that have both of your names? Bills that go back 10+ years? 

 

As for "relationship" proof, I think most people tend to use photographs for that rather than birthcard cards, but I don't see why they wouldnt' work. You must have photos of the two of you going back many years? With a relationship that spans 20 years you would probably only need a few things spread out over that time.

OK - thank you for your advice!
