In addition to your kid's birth certificate(huge proof of bonafide marriage),your marriage certificate,birth certificate,flight iteneries,her passport stamped in&out sudan,pictures before,during&after the wedding of you both&family members,hotel receipts,engagement&wedding ring receipts,wedding invitation,money transfer receipts if she has ever sent you money from the US,her affidavit of change of name,newspaper publication,sworn affidavit of you both&2 or 3 family members who attended your wedding stating that the marriage is bonafide,your passport bio data page,phone records,social media records(facebook,whatsapp etc),copy of your wife's proof of citizenship certificate,divorce/death certificates in prior marriages for you both&any other proof you have that can support your case.

a child's birth certificate simply means that a kid was born. alone there is no way to show it is from a long relationship or a one night stand or even ivf. so proving a relationship based solely on a birth certificate is near impossible. time spent together and conversations are far better proof.

The only "proof" of a bona fide marriage is the marriage certificate; everything else is evidence.

 

Your strongest evidence is anything that shows time spent together in-person.

Also financial documents bearing both of your names are huge proof too. Joint bank accounts, insurance policies which claim you as her beneficiary, any property bearing both names such as an apartment lease, etc. It can be kind of difficult to obtain those things, especially if you live apart from each other, but financial documents that show any kind of co-mingling of assets are solid evidence that is difficult to refute.

 

Regarding time spent together in person -- that can include plane tickets with both of your names (we sent several of these), hotel bookings with both of your names, events you experienced together with both names (my wife and I did a couple's spa together when in Dubai, and it had both names on the receipt so I included that), and you definitely want to send them pictures of your wedding and any vacations you took together. And if you can obtain them -- get notarized affidavits from people who know you, preferably who attended your wedding. The affidavits alone are weak evidence but every little bit helps.

Just keep this in mind throughout the process -- don't worry about providing TOO MUCH evidence. I provided a ton, and it did not seem to affect the processing time at all. The more you are able to provide, the less your chances of receiving an RFE. Don't try to get by with the bare minimum.
