Hi Everyone!

 

Ok so i recently filed I-130 for my husband. I actually moved to his country in 2016 and stood there till 2017,  just recently that i returned to the states. We instantly lived together, i found a job and he had a job as well, we took vacations together, etc. We got married in Feb 2017, and in April 2017 i came back to the U.S. So basically we lived together as boyfriend/girlfriend/ fiancees for like 10 months up to when we got married where we only lived together as a married couple for 1 month. That is my concern, that they won't see the year we lived together not being married and previous trips i've made to see him as "bonifide" i feel like they will pay attention to the married part which only was lived for 1 month. Due to financial issues i had to return to the U.S. but immediately found a job and filed for IR.

 

My question is will it be enough? I hope i made myself clear cause to me reading it, it makes sense hopefully it does to you.

 

Thank you for your responses, it's greatly appreciated.

I will not worry about only living together for a month together, after you have been married. A lot of people on here myself included, who married their spouse in another country only gets to spend a little time with their spouse on visits before the spouse get a visa and is in the U.S. Send in evidence of you  and him together, Family pictures receipts for stuff such as gifts, airline  hotels tickets,. passport stamps what ever evidence that you have  USCIS will look at all the evidence  not just the month you stay together after you were married

They will mostly care about the time you spent together before the marriage. The fact that you had an ongoing relationships with your husband before you got married accounts for evidence for bonafide marriage.
