Hi there,

can we submit pictures taken at the wedding/after the wedding as proof?

Can we also send some letters written by friends and relatives stating our marriage is bona fide? They dont have to be notarized have they?

thanks a lot!

Roberto

PS

- We live in the same place but the house is in my name only. Still we have residence at the same address, and a certificate can prove it. Is that a proof?

Yep, all these things are good proof to bring to interview. Also if you have any joint bills, or letters/ congrats cards addressed to both of you that is good. No notarisation is required, but get the friends to put their address and phone number on the letter in case the embassy wants to contact them.

All that being said, filing DCF by itself is proof of bonafide relationship, and in many cases, including my own, no relationship proof was asked for at interview. Still best to have it with you though!

In my personal experience, the by far MOST important thing to have at the interview is a photo album of the wedding and reception. How do you fake a wedding with 100s of people getting drunk, a naked girl jumping out of a wedding cake, and a zeppelin dropping 10,000 balloons reading "I love you Schmuppi!" from the sky?

Priceless? Au contraire!

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
