Hi everyone, I am applying for DCF through the London embassy. I am currently looking at the document checklist for the I-30 application. One of the supporting documents listed is to Provide documentation to support bona fide marriage. 

 

"In addition to the marriage certificate, submit one or more types of documentation listed on the USCIS Form I‐130 Instructions, page 7, at www.uscis.gov/I‐130."

 

I can't find anything on USCIS website explaining what documents they expect to prove the marriage. Can anyone explain what these are? I was divorced shortly before my husband and I were married, so I am hoping to include as much supporting documentation as I can, in case the divorce weakens my application.

 

Thank you!

One YT immigration attorney says USCIS and Consulate Officers wants to see evidence of living in the same household together and evidence of financial mingling.

@Crazy Cat Thanks very much for your response! One more question - my husband and I live together but he bought our apartment before I moved in, and I am not on the mortgage. Do you know if USCIS accepts other evidence of cohabitation, aside from shared tenancy/ownership of property? For instance we both have lots of mail addressed to the same address but I'm not sure if they require 'official' documents like utility bills etc.
