Enough proof?

[JessC 4]

Gathering as much proof as I can to prove bona fide marriage.. does this sound like enough?  (Canadian-US)

-marriage certificate

-pictures of us throughout the year 

-license/mail showing that we lived together for 1 year

-adfidative affirmed by a third party (should this be notarized?)

-proof of adding spouse to benefits 

-cards/emails shared between us 

 

thanks!

Tax returns?

[debbiedoo 2,339]

tax returns, bank statements, loans, leases, titles and deeds showing joint ownership, wills, power of attorneys....all that good stuff most married people have.

Well we still don't have anything in our names together as husband and wife due to the fact that she's in USA and I'm in Nigeria aside for our marriage certificate

We don't share joint bank accounts. Don't have any joint ownership. We have been together for 2 years. Married a few months. Lived together for one year in a home that was paid for by my husbands work.

"Those" as in everything I mentioned or just the affidavit affirmed by a third party ??

You dont have to be married to have each other listed on wills and as power of attorneys. 

 

open a joint bank account.  add each other to credit accounts. list as bank account beneficiaries.

 

i would suggest you find as much as you can to list each other on financially as possible. especially for the one whose husband is in nigeria.

Such affidavits carry little to zero weight in the overall evaluation of file; skip it in favor of evidence (you are submitting evidence, not proof) of time spent together in-person (which you have plenty of).  If you ultimately chose to submit the affidavit, it does not need to be notarized.
