What should he enclose as proof of marriage?

[MrsCat 6]

marriage certificate, photos of them together, photos from wedding, travel tickets from trips to see each other

[MsZ 6]

Insurance papers, proof of joint accounts, documents showing that each other are the beneficiaries on accts, that sort of thing. Joint credit cards, etc.

About this proof is it due at the time he files I-130? When my wife filed mine in '07 she did not incude this. Has the rule changed and where online can they go to review it? Is there any site that will tell them exactly what to do. My wife assembled my package and I am clueless. She is out of town so I can not contact her. My friend's wife is reqesting that I gather this info for her because I am experienced. Boy, is she more than wrong. My wife did everything I just signed basically and filled out my own forms and collected needed affadavits.

Now what should she do about the pics? "Photo of" or "Photo of Azim" should go on the label? Just the words "Photos of" or do you also add the names?

Also, if she did not legally change her name on her SS card should she do so prior to applying for the case?

For the I-130 all your brother needs to submit to prove that he is married is the marriage license/certificate (the one that you get from the county where the marriage is registered). If he's been married before, then he will need to send a copy of the divorce decree.

eau_xplain is right. Besides marriage certificate, all others are really optional. If you have them, then great.

The I-130 instruction will tell you everything your brother needs to submit.

eau_explain and noelandtintin are right. Marriage Certificate/Marriage License. That's what basically we enclosed to our I-130 petitione before, and Noel is right that others are optional. ( like in our case we opted to enclosed also an affidavit).

Though in some countries, they asked for some proofs aside from marriage certificates.

Last year in July when we filed I-130 we only sent our Marriage Certificate as a proof and it was OK.
