Evidence of Bonafide Marriage. Will I be okay with the following?

[s88 1]

My husband and I just got married. I'm in Canada & he's in the USA.

We have not lived together but have been dating for 4 years.

I was wondering if the following will be enough for evidence of a bonafide marriage or if we need to have his house put under my name (a little time consuming and would like to get the application out asap)

1) Add each other as "supplementary" card holders for our credit cards, provide the statements are proof

2) I have added him as beneficiary for my RRSP (401K type of fund), employee stock option funds etc...

3) Some invoices showing calls between us over the years

4) A document showing many of the flights I took to see him (from the airline's website) along with SOME of the boarding passes (I don't have most of them).

5) His phone records showing calls between us

Is this enough or do we need to put the house deed in my name and/or add me as the beneficary for his life insurance policy?

Please let me know, trying to get the paperwork together!

I should think that would be enough. I sent photos, military ID showing that he is my sponser, plane tickets, joint lease and joint back account and that was it.

Anything that shows that you had/have a connection, is a proof of bona fide marriage

I didn't show anything. Just the marriage certificate. I was fine. But what you listed are good. You many include a few pictures for safe measure.

Who do you send the pictures to? Does the wife bring them to the consular at interview or do I send some in the I-130 folder?

Hi,

Quick question: I realized that I didn't send substantial bonafide proof when I submitted I-130 packet for my wife. It is OK to send it now as a supporting evidence. My case is already in process. I received NOA1 a few days after I mailed I-130 package and I am waiting for NOA2.

I consulted with a lawyer before mailing the packet. He didn't give much emphasis on the bonafide and just asked me to fill out the forms and mail them. Now after joining VJ, I realize I should have sent plenty of bonafide proofs. All I sent in with I-130 were some wedding photos, copy of the marriage certificate and a brief letter from myself describing how I met my wife and when and where we got married along with 4 wedding photos.

I have airline tickets for the trips I made to see her, our daily hours long phone call records, receipts of all the gifts/flowers that I had sent her, etc. Should I send all these proofs now. I mailed the I-130 on Dec. 1, 2010.

Thanks a lot friends...

Generally it is not advisable to send unsolicited additional information to USCIS as it is very difficult to have it matched with your petition. You may be just fine with what you sent so wait it out and if USCIS does issue an RFE you have additional evidence ready.

Good luck!
