Is this enough for bona fide marriage?

Hi, again me...

I am getting ready papers and I was wondering is two affidavit of sworn third parties, cell phone bill on both names and 4 pics together copy on A4 paper enough for bona fide marriage?

Thanks a lot!!!

If this is for an AOS interview I would say no, not really. If you can produce more I think it would be a good idea. Utility bills, shared housing lease/mortgage, insurance in both names etc etc

Some interviews do ask for very little, sometimes nothing, but others can ask for much more than you have mentioned in your original post. Best to be over prepared.

Check out the AOS guide at the top of the AOS forum here, there is a comprehensive list there of things you should be aiming for to show that you have a bona fide marriage.

Short answer -- if that is all the evidence you plan to submit, you will be in trouble. Two letters, 4 pictures, and a cell phone bill will not be enough.

When you submit the application for permanent residency (AOS), send them the forms and the supporting documents each form asks for.

When you go to the interview, you will need evidence of a ongoing bonafide relationship.

I didn't come on K1 visa, and we are sending I-485 together with I-130 that require evidence of bona fide marriage.

Thats why I am concern.

Thanks a lot.

i didnt send any pix with my AOS ... only one letter from third party, cell bill and bank account statement ... and it seems it was enough but for the interview you will need way more that is for sure!!!

If you have more evidence, send it. Be prepared with much more at the interview.

Evidence you can send:

1. Documentation showing joint ownership or property; or

2. A lease showing joint tenancy of a common residence; or

3. Documentation showing co-mingling of financialresources; or

4. Birth certificate(s) of child(ren) born to you, thepetitioner, and your spouse together; or

5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties havingpersonal knowledge of the bona fides of the maritalrelationship (Each affidavit must contain the full nameand address, date and place of birth of the person makingthe affidavit, his or her relationship to the petitioner ofbeneficiary, if any, and complete information and detailsexplaining how the person acquired his or herknowledge of your marriage); or

6. Any other relevant documentation to establish that thereis an ongoing marital union.

Since you are married, if you can get things like joint health insurance, joint bank account/bills it always helps.

In our case we sent: 3 pictures (try to put some that show the two of you with family and friends and put the date, names and locations in the back), a joint lease for our house, an affidavit by his cousin.

We plan to bring the health insurance, joint billls and bank account to us at the interview.
