Hey Everyone, 

Quick question on proofing bona fide relationship... I got married with my wife a while ago. We are both from Afghanistan. I am in the US and got green card. She is in Afghanistan. I'm planning on applying for CR1 spouse visa. I was wondering if not having pictures of our actual nikkah would cause any red flag? I got pictures of our wedding, but I'm missing on the nikkah part! I got our marriage certificate too. Would not having pictures of the actual nikkah cause a problem ? Thank you.

As an LPR, it wouldn’t be a CR-1 visa, but F2A.

What other evidence of relationship do you have other than photos, considering you were married for a while, as you said?

Do you send her money, gifts, share finances in any way? Do you visit her on regular basis? Photos are great, but they're only one type of evidence. Photos from wedding and from other visits with friends and relatives would be enough for this type of evidence. But you need more of other stuff.
