Amount of evidence to send with I 130

[bholiday 0]

I am assembling my I 130 package...and am putting together my evidence of bonifide marriage. So far I have three afidavits from my wife's father, mother and sister. I am also sending some pictures of the wedding. I have all my e mails, Instant messages, phone bills, e-tickets, reciepts of wedding stuff, etc etc etc.

How much should I include with the I 130. I have tons of stuff, but how much is necessary?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

All you really need to send is the marriage certificate, if you have the affidavits, then even better. Don't bother with pictures and e-mails, they're not necessary.

Hi and congratulations on your marriage!!

1) It would be helpful to everyone if you would fill out your timeline. It helps everyone to help YOU...and you are helping US in the process. Start with the date you were married. Keep it accurate...every time something happens, log it!!!

2) We are going the I-130 way and I sent a copy of our a) Marriage Certificate B) Four (4) affidavits from friends/family at the wedding with a photo of all of us at the wedding reception. (Be sure to read the requirements for the affidavits, name, date of birth, etc.) c) an extra wedding invitation that I had lying around.

3) Save all that other stuff...phone records, e-mails, long, intimate IM conversations, etc. for your interview at the Embassy. They MAY want to see some of that stuff...but, remember the average interview lasts about 10 minutes!!

Best Wishes!!!!!!!
