You need passport photos for the beneficiary and petitioner (one each) for the I-130.

Looks a little light on proof of bonafides. Do you have a joint bank account? Are you on his health or auto insurance policy? Authorized user on his credit cards? E-mails back and forth. Phone records? Anything you have that shows co-mingling will help.

We don't own a car, we don't have a joint bank account, all credit cards are on my name... I pay for his phone. And in the past for all the bills.

What else can we do?

You can use the bill to show that you pay for his phone. What about health insurance, are you on his policy? If not, you should get on it asap and that can be used at your interview if they ask for more proof. You could add him as an authorized user on your credit cards, it's quick and easy, no credit checks.
