Hello everyone,

Another question ... sorry :(

Ok so reading about the process, it seems one needs to prove their relationship is legit. I've been married to my husband 12 years, with 3 children. And we've lived together all during that time. We met in Europe while we were both in uni. I have a few tidbits from our past like few letters, photos from our wedding, etc but things that I've read about ticket stubs, chat logs, etc I don't have things like this. I'm wondering ... maybe obvious and rather stupid question but with a marriage this long how much evidence would they ask for? I mean are our wedding pics, pics taken over the years, birth cert of my kids and pics as family enough? Since I don't have much stuff/evidence from when we were dating. And where can I find out how many actual (the number or estimation) evidence we need? I mean is there a minimum amount?Thank you everyone.

Yeah, I think you're right. You've been married for 12 years so I doubt USCIS will suspect that your marriage isn't legit.

I don't think there is a minimum amount to prove your marriage is real. I've had family submit only wedding pictures and have had their case approved.

In addition to the things you've listed, you can provide proof of joint bank accounts, credit cards, utility bills, real estate holdings, and insurance.

You would file more like a couple Removing Conditions (living together). So showing your life together for the years. Kids Birth certificate, pics on vacation, holidays with family. Bills in both your names, Insurance, Bank accounts both names on it. etc,

All the other stuff for those who don't live together and have to show they even visit and see each other.

I just provided our joint lease documents for our home, 2 utility bills with both names and a couple of bank statements

We've been married for 5 years

My wife went back to the USA a year ago, I didn't send any chat logs, or phone bills in my pack

All went well, I'm pretty sure they aren't that worried if you been married and together that long

My case was complete last week

OK, thank you ... But what if we don't have anything joint in both our names. Our house deed, bills, bank account are all in my husband's name. Will birth certificate of our children be enough?
