I-130 Evidence of bona fide marriage

Hi, Just about to submit the I-130 application for my wife - I have the following pieces of evidence for a bona fide marriage:

1) Marriage certificate of me and my spouse

2) Birth certificate and consular report of birth of our child

3) My passport showing stamps where I traveled to India, some print outs of flight etickets where I and my wife took trips together in India.

4) 20-30 photos showing various stages of our relationship from meeting before marriage to having our baby and beyond.

 

Do I need anything else at this stage? 

Any one know this?

 

Also, I have a separate question -- I am on a tourist visa in India since Jan of this year, and was in India for 6 months last year as well living with my wife on both occasions. Do I need to list my India address / stays in list of Physical Addresses for the last 5 years? I don't have a problem doing it, and listing my US address as mailing address, but I just want to know if it would be the right thing to do given that I am really visiting India even though my visits are so long....

Visiting is not residing.

Ok.. do you foresee any problem if I listed out my India trips and put an additional note in part 9 stating that they were temporary visits but I decided to list them since they were both over 6 months in length?( I don't feel entirely comfortable not disclosing such long trips even if they are temporary)

One additional thing -- I have an address in India where I have spent most of my time , but have made a couple of 15 day trips to other cities in India to be with relatives. Would it make any sense to list those out separately or just use the one address where I spent most of my time in India to cover the entire trip?

I apologize. I only read the subject line and assumed it's a place for various I-130 questions.

Can I leave a 15-day gap between 2 addresses? I was essentially visiting in-laws / in hotels between addresses and I don't think it makes sense to put it in address history.. Anyone know?

Another question -- do you foresee any problem from USCIS if I put my current India address in "provide the last address where you physically lived together"? I understand that I am on a visitor visa to India, but I Have  lived in India with my wife in the same house for over seven months already, and will continue to do so for the next few months..

Since it HAS been several months, I don't see an issue with that, even though you are just visiting.

Couple of questions -- hope someone can answer!

1. How best to indicate to the adjudicator to see part 9. additional information ? Would it be better to say

"SEE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION",

or "SEE PART 9. ADDITIONAL INFO."  (the word Information doesn't fit, so I will have to abbreviate)

, or "SEE PART 9 PAGE 12" (I have multiple additional information pages so I hope this won't be confusing since they are all page 12)

or something else?

 

2. My street name is not fitting the "Street name and number" field. Would it be best to move the entire address to additional information, or put the apartment no, province, city, country , postal code on the main form and put "see additional information" in the street number and name field and put just that in the additional information page?

In my 5 year address history, i am leaving a 2 week gap between two past addresses when I was kind of in hotels and traveling and stuff. Is a 2 week gap in addresses likely to lead to an RFE, or am I ok to leave that gap?
