Well it's was wedding pics & money transfer receipts and sample/random whatsapp communication used as evidence during I130. I can't think of any other bonafide evidence, if you can suggest any... it'd be good to volunteer some info..

Some suggestions you might want to consider, based on what we sent/uploaded as evidence of a bona fide marriage relationship, for our successful spousal visa process:

 

1. With the initial I-130 petition (front-loading):

a) original boarding passes, passport stamps, hotel receipts, and a few photos from four visits spending time together in-person

b) a few photos from the wedding, with spouse's family and friends (we got married on the 4th visit), and a few honeymoon photos

c) documents showing the foreign spouse as a beneficiary on the US citizen's health insurance, life insurance, bank accounts, and retirement/investment accounts

d) credit card account statements showing the foreign spouse as an authorized user

e) foreign spouse listed as emergency contact at US citizen spouse's work

f) representative messages sent/received via WhatsApp and Messenger, email log showing messages sent/received, Facebook friendship history, phone and video call logs

 

2. Uploaded at the NVC stage (side-loading):

a) original boarding passes, passport stamps, hotel receipts, and a few photos from four additional visits (since filing I-130) spending more time together in-person

b) IRS tax return from previous year, married filing jointly, with W-7 and all W2s and schedules

c) wills, living wills, powers of attorney

d) Christmas cards received in the mail, addressed to both of us as a married couple

 

3. Took to the visa interview (we both attended and answered questions):

a) original boarding passes, passport stamps, hotel receipts, and a few photos from our two-week trip together to Europe two months prior to the visa interview

 

Front-loading of evidence (with the I-130) and side-loading at the NVC stage are good to do as often the interviewing officer at the consulate/embassy has already made a preliminary decision whether to approve the visa or not prior to doing the interview.  For Pakistan, this is even more important.

 

Good luck!
