Supporting Evidence Checklist - Anything Else I Need?

[Fwafy 1]

Hi all! 

 

I'm finishing collecting all supporting evidence for my wife and I's I-130 application. I've spent the past few weeks collecting all the evidence of a bonafide relationship as possible. I'm hoping to gain some insight to see if there is anything else we would need. 

 

Note: We do not own any joint property or have a joint bank accout. We attempted to open a US bank account during a visit to my family, but they could not process it without her having a SSN. 

 

All photos have dates and locations. Each section has a short (2-6 sentence) description of the contents. All photos and screenshots are in chronological order.  

 

1. Travel logs showing all flight details and photos. We've also added a few photos of the boarding passes we could find. 

2. Engagement plans including messages from myself and my wife's mother, screenshots of messages with the jeweler, purchase receipt, and photos of the engagement itself. 

3. Miscellaneous photos put in chronological order from our first time meeting to the most recent photo we have. It includes notes and letters. All are labelled and dated. 

4. Financial interactions and gifts between us. This includes bank transfers for varying amount of money over time, PayPal transactions, screenshots of gifts ordered, and photos of a scrapbook I made for her. 

5. Phone logs showing a chronological history of our phone conversations (roughly one phone screenshot/month) to show consistent communication. It also includes the same messages sent to her mother mentioned in #2. 

6. Social media posts from my Instagram and screenshots of YouTube videos we've made together. This section is lacking as we rarely post on social media. 

7. Wedding photos. Our wedding was at a local district office in Korea just signing paperwork. We only had two friends attend to act as witnesses. We took several photos in a local park after, but it was a small, short event. 

 

All said and done, it is roughly 71 powerpoint slides, most of which just contain 2-4 photos. I am going to export each section as a PDF to upload separately. 

 

I've considered asking for letters from friends and family, especially our witnesses. I'm not sure if it would be necessary though. 

I'm also aware that I didn't mention all the other forms such as passports, wedding certificate, etc., but I will add that in too of course. 

 

Anything I'm missing? Thanks!!

I forgot to mention, my wife is a UK resident.

You have far more than is necessary.  Certainly no need for anything more.  Expect maybe 10% of that to even be looked at.  The most important is the primary evidence of time spent together in person.  Primary evidence is passport stamps and boarding passes.  Photos and similar are secondary evidence.  My advice is to pare it down by at least half.
