Is our evidence of bona fide marriage enough? CR1

[Iscir 295]

I am worried we don't have enough evidence. So far this is what we have:

 

- 11 pictures of us, including two of our marriage. We have met each others families and friends but sadly did not take any pictures with them. 

- All boarding passes and passport stamps (3 visits for now,  will have one more in the future)

- A few receipts of places we went together, like museums or parks

- Receipts of the money we exchanged when we visited each other

- Hotel and airbnb receipts.

- Copy of military dependent ID card (only lasts 90 days for not having a SSN)

 

I have been reading here what else we can include but since we live in different countries this is all we have. I was thinking of maybe including screenshots of our conversations but I don't know how much that would help. Same with affidavits, as they seem they are not strong evidence.

 

Is this enough?

You have focused on evidence of time spent together in-person which is your strongest evidence.  You have what you have; there is no set amount that determines what is enough and what isn't because those vary from case to case as well as unique relevant factors.

Do include the chats to show ongoing relationship. The affidavits I understand do not carry any weight in some embassies. Include pictures to show both families at the wedding like both parents. This can show support for the marriage.

For those newly weds or in a long distance relationship that do not have the the main proofs of a bonafide marriage like children born together, joint checking or savings accounts, and joint loans, it is good to include third party affidavits of bonafide marriage. Here is a very good example. Third Party Affidavit Affirming Bona Fide Marriage Spouse Visa

The website was very informative. It also had a post about how to assemble the petition. Thank you!

I will include them then. Better safe than sorry! Thanks!

I was worried, but you are right! Time spent together in person is our strongest evidence. Thank you very much!

I filed in August 2018 and am still waiting for the NOA2. I will probably have my interview at the end of the year.
