If you get a peek in my list and want to include anything, you are welcome

Some may not be applicable to you.

We don't have chat logs/emails etc. Our communication is only through the phone.

Also, we plan to take a joint property details in India.

Having said this, they asked only wedding album and religious marriage certificate last time. However, better prepare everything, you never know!

Thank you so much everybody

[hobokenworkingman 4]

Thank you so much everybody

yea your list is pretty good, so no worries - most important out of those will the be wedding pics. assuming you had a pretty standard situation ie, arranged marriage, where two of you met, had an engagement ceremony and then marriage in a wedding ceremony, followed by evidence of a relationship (ie your husband came and visited you while he was in US and you were waiting for the GC), you are A-ok. They will ask for the engagement/wedding details, so do be prepared to answer those questions. They did ask my wife how many times I came and visited (in the 7 months b/w our wedding and our interview, I stayed w/ her 1 month after the wedding and then we were apart 6 months, when I visited her once and then I was there during the intrview time), so that definitely impresses upon them. they didnt ask for the evidence though, just asked questions and my wife answered (you can see the complete review in my timeline). Best of luck; as long as no "gad-bad" you will be just fine!
