Hello. 
 

we will be filing our CR1 soon and wondered If anyone has a recommendation of documents I should add to help with our case? I have photos of what’s app messages between us and social media posts printed off.  US Bank statement with our names on. Would you recommend we get a letter from loved ones like a affidavit notorized about our relationship?
 

many thanks

Emma

Nope.  Those are weak evidence.  Anyone can provide a personal affidavit saying ANYTHING.  I wouldn't bother.  Concentrate of quality, not quantity.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Do you have proof of time spent together?

Boarding passes? Vacations together with AirBNB/Hotel bookings? Flight itineraries?

Do you have photos together? Photos with friends/families? 

If you have a bank account together do you have proof you've resided in the same place at the same time? 

Or by bank statements do you mean transfers from one person to the other?

Do you live together? 

Bank statements are only valid as a proof of relationship if all the income from both spouses goes to the the same account, then from there you need to pay gas stations, grocery stores, repair shops, utility bills, restaurants, etc.

Could I ask a question? 
 

regarding the I-129f form. In the section biographic information. Is that the beneficiary or Us citizen that fills that out? Thanks 

That would be the petitioner's information. It generally specifies on the application whether the information needed is from the petitioner or the beneficiary. The initial petition is filled out by the USC or PR (the petitioner) so it would be their information entered unless stated otherwise, such as the section for the beneficiary's details. 

Petition Filed: 04/06/2022
NOA1: 04/06/2022
Notice of Active Review: 06/28/2022
NOA2: 04/03/2023
NVC Case Created: 04/06/2023
NVC Documentality Qualified: 08/09/2023
NVC Scheduled appointment at Bucharest Embassy for 10/17/23
