Hello international crew~ Im in the process of assembling my I-130 for my husband to come to California.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how to prove i was living with him in his home country for 6 months.

And if I am 5 months pregnant with his baby would it be necessary to include a picture of the ultrasound?

You could include;

Boarding passes for your flights

Receipts for gifts for each otter

Any mail you had sent to his address with your name on

Letters and cards addressed to both of you

Affidavits of bona fides from friends and family

Hotel reservations displaying both of your names

Anything that indicates co-mingling of finances (joint bank accounts, credit cards etc)

Chat logs, e-mails and phone records

Photos of both of you at different times in different locations, including your wedding day

Please note; this is really not an exhaustive list; anything that builds a picture of your relationship is acceptable. Including your ultrasound with a little note explaining what it is can't hurt.

Hmm well i lost boarding passes, threw them away.

No receipts of anything.

I Threw away the mail i had sent to me at his address. :( Didnt think it was important.

I can get affidavits from neighbors and friends.

No hotels.

No bank accounts

Have some pictures not a ton.

And we didnt have a wedding because it was too expensive just got the marriage cert. Is that enough you think?

If you don't have boarding passes, you could always scan the stamps in your passport if you have any. Do you have chat, e-mail or phone records? Letters or postcards to each other? Receipts for the rings? Any kinds of insurance policies?

Don't worry! I recently got married and spent with him 1 month. I only provided them the address where we stayed during that particular month(that question is asked on the form I-130). Make sure you send a copy of your marriage certificate and if you want as extra evidence send pictures. Maybe you would like to include a letter of your GYN (Doctor) stating that you are pregnant and how many months... I sent my I-130 on Feb and was evidence I sent a copy of my marriage certificate and pictures!

I could definitely do the passport scan just wasnt sure if they would believe it was mine because the page doesnt show whose passport it is? and the entry stamp into his country was on my new zealand passport, and the exit stamp out of his country is on my us passport. We also lived together 6 months in england, but we got a lease paper that shows we lived together for that.

No, a sonogram shows only shows what it shows, it is not really evidence a bona fide marriage.
