My fiance and I are on each other's bank accounts as authorized users and have our own cards for one another's bank accounts (will be doing a joint bank account too at the earliest opportunity), we have a family plan phone contract, plus all of the evidence you also mentioned like photos, call logs etc etc. When we can, we plan on adding one another to health insurance, life insurance, and when relevant all of his military documents. It is definitely hard when you're still long distance to compile evidence but everything you can do is good. 

None of that is required or expected for a K-1.  OP is inquiring about evidence for CR-1.

I know, but there's no harm whatsoever for us having a plan for the future, and things already done - takes some pressure off. Plus, we were planning on getting married and doing AoS, but that couldn't happen unfortunately but it means we have stuff all ready for when we need it down the line

Thank you that was helpful. You lived together in the usa prior to applying? Or did he live with you in canada? 

No problem!

We lived together in Canada prior to and while we applied

Yes, i am a canadian citizen just recently got matried to an american in the usa. We've been together for a year and we have a lot of proof of our relationship. But we don't own anything together. As i am a canadian citizen, i can't live in the usa until i am legally able to. So we don't own anything together as of yet. Can i get a joint bank account with him as a canadian citizen and ect, or have my name on the lease of a home in the usa? Our marriage is long distance until i can legally live there with him. So my question is what can i use as proof since we are long distance, primary proof as you have mentioned would be having joint ownership ect right. 

I'm in the same situation (he's in Antigua and I'm a US citizen) and I've been all over and I've also called around. It seems as tho he has to be physically here to do things. I tried adding him to my bank account but, he has to call himself to talk to someone so, that is possibly possible. I physically went to 3 banks and they all told me that he has to physically be present to open his own account. I'm not sure what info he will need bcuz we haven't been able to call as of yet. I've spoke with my utility companies and they aren't able to add him bcuz only 1 person is allowed to be on the account. They can add his name to the mailng part just not on the actual bill. It's a lot...🤦🏽‍♀️
