Hello all,

 

I'm getting ready to submit our I-130 petition for my spouse. We're currently living together in their home country and intend to do so until they receive their CR/IR-1 visa. We've traveled internationally together several times both before and after we were legally married, so I'm planning to submit scans of our passport stamps as proof of our relationship. I just had a few questions in the hope someone might have some useful advice:

 

  1. In addition to our travel together, we've both traveled internationally separately, for work and leisure. Should I include scans of all passport stamps over the course of our relationship, including solo travel, or is this unnecessary? Should I just go ahead and scan our entire passports, or would this be excessive?
  2. I recently renewed my passport from abroad and still have my old passport, as my then-current visa was in my old passport. (I've since been issued a new visa in my current passport.) Some of the passport stamps I plan to submit, as well as previous visas demonstrating my continuous residence in spouse's home country, are in my old passport. I plan to submit scans of the bio pages for both passports, as well as the confirmation letter I received from the Consular Section when I received my new passport which includes both passport numbers. Will this be too confusing? Should I include a written statement explaining all this?

 

Thank you for any advice you can offer!

Yes any evidence for the two of you as a couple will help to fasten your case,  example: Bank Statements, Flight Boarding Pass,  Hotel Reservation Statements, Pictures of you two in many places, United States Passport Copy,  etc. 

Good luck 👍

Passport stamps for solo travel of the beneficiary would be meaningless.  Travel together, is the key, but since you live together, not need to go overboard.  The applicant can carry the applicable passports to the interview as back-up too.
