Proof of relationship

[Franciscoruizt 14]

Can you use Facebook posting as well as instagram as proof of relationship?

[Bzlibem 111]

Sure. At least I did and it was fine (AOS)

Yes, assuming that this is not your only (or strongest) supporting documentation.

 

Social media posts probably aren't weighted very heavily so I would suggest making sure you have phone logs and chat logs to help support your on-going relationship evidence.

No we kind of leave together already I just wanted to take it just in case as well as my other evidence... by phone logs what would those be? Just like a sheet with the times I call my wife?

Is she your wife or your fiancée? Because you used the word "wife" and it says "K1" under your avatar.

Oh, alright then. Well, you can read the note about "Evidence of a Bonafide Marriage" (scroll dow, past the Package List). It includes examples of what you can add to your Facebook and Instagram proof:

If I print out text and call logs how far back should I take?

I'm not really familiar with CR1 as I've applied for a K1. But for chats, pick meaningful conversations. As for call logs, submit a group of calls from every 3 months or so. I'd also suggest submitting pictures of the wedding, pictures with your respective families, pictures taken on vacation together...etc.

 

Oh, and start from as early as possible, when the relationship started. Show how it simply developed over time into a bonafide marriage  

 

PS. Other CR1 members will have better answers and advice though.

Yes. Our lawyer used that after we got the noid. (AOS)

If you live together already focus on that. Don't even bother about chat logs or phone records. These just prove that someone spoke to someone. It doesn't even prove it was you. Anyone can set up a social media account in any name. 

 

Focus on on utility bills in both names, co-mingled finances, wills, insurances with each mentioned as the beneficiaries, a joint lease, etc. If you live together you have a much stronger case than most and you don't need to waste time with low-value evidence.

I have a few things together such as electricity bill, medical insurance checking and savings accounts.. I do have a car loan but I was unable to put her name on the bill..I mean they know I'm married and who my wife is they just told me they can't put 2 names on the bill..you think that will be enough?

Also any cards, letters, etc you've gotten from family and friends written to both of you goes a long way...because it shows that OTHER PEOPLE also validate your marriage as a real one.  Same with photos taken with other family members.

We printed call logs and WhatsApp messages since January of this year.

Adding financial ties definitely makes a strong case as JFH mentioned above.

You can also add her as an authorized user to your credit card, or as a beneficiary on your savings/investment/retirement/401k/life insurance accounts.  Most of these are relatively easy to do and you can include the confirmation from your bank as well as the statements with both your names (if you bank includes both - mine does).
