uscis Request For Initial Evidence

[Bakhtawar Gul 24]

Hey!!

Hope all is good with everyone. 

So my form I130 got approved in February and they initiate the processing and now I just received a letter from USCIS asking me for a request for initial evidence of BONA FIDE MARRIAGE. So the thing is I have never been to USA and the USCIS is asking for the evidences like property leases, mortgages, or registrations. Now I want to know what kind of evidences should I send them to prove that our marriage is bona fide? I am already sending them the evidences like the conversation between me and my wife, money transfer transaction, emails, pictures, and affidavits. Would anyone please let me know if I have to send the USCIS a notarised/attested affidavits or it’s other way round?

I’d be so grateful for any kind of help.

Thank you!!

You mean i130 got accepted not approved. Start with what evidences are already submitted along with the application so you get better suggestion on what more to submit.

We need more information......what visa type? Who is the petitioner?

The only evidence we sent was marriage certificate along with I-130 application, I didn’t know we can send the other proofs like pictures, invitation card and all.

The best evidence you can provide at this stage is that of time ACTUALLY spent together and continued communication........

I am the petitioner and I am US citizen and I received the letter from USCIS asking for evidence. Now I want to know what kind of evidence should I send them and if I send them affidavits, should they be notarised/attested?

You posted above: "So the thing is I have never been to USA".....

Affidavits are very weak evidence......but must be notarized if used......

Sorry, I meant to say my wife has never been to USA. I am sending one of my mother’s affidavit (she attended my wedding) and she lives with me in USA, so if I send her affidavit, does it need to be notarized too? Thank you for the much information.

If you had read the guides here on VJ and on USCIS you would have known how to properly file a spousal visa petition.  I suggest you carefully read them before sending anything else.
