8 and 9 are not required. 

 

Photos of the beneficiary are only required if he/she is in the USA. 

 

How can you have “proof” of an ongoing relationship? You should be sending evidence. There is no way to prove your relationship is genuine unless someone can read your thoughts. 

 

Affidavits are very weak evidence. You need to do better than that.

i have two letters one from my dad and one from m husband's dad is that bad ! 

and should i replace the word proof with the word evidence 

and last photo of the beneficiary is very important

[JFH 12,189]

It’s bad if that’s all you have. Your fathers are obviously going to write very nice things about you and in your favor. You need a selection of various forms of evidence and your focus should be on primary evidence, not secondary evidence. Definitely replace the word proof with evidence. You don’t have proof. 

 

I don’t understand your comment about the photo. You only need to send passport photos of the beneficiary if he/she is currently in the USA and you are filing for AOS.

me and my husband do not have shared bank account or property as we knew each other for 9 months before marriage now we ae togther for one year and we have never lived with each other so we only have screnshots of ongoing relationship from january to december with calls and a lot of photos of us and our families in the wedding and honeymoon and evidence of booking appartments for the honeymoon along with few money receipts ; what do you think

[JFH 12,189]

Did you marry the first time you met? Which country is the beneficiary from? Don’t worry about bank accounts - most couples don’t have these because they have never lived together. But surely he is listed as the beneficiary on your life insurance, etc? Do you have wills? You should. 

 

Boarding passes and passport stamps are good. So are hotel/apartment receipts. 

 

Phone records are less good but it doesn’t hurt to include them. 

 

If the photos are all from the same visit they don’t help much. If you have a series of photos over time from different visits, that is better.

yes we got married the first visit after 9 months of communication him and his family communicated with mine and talked about the marriage . he is a us citizen and im a moroccan . and yes all of the photos are from one visit for a month but we are going to travel overseas in few months and we are willing to incluse those pics in the nvc stage . and what do you mean by having wills

So if you’re the beneficiary, why are you completing the I-130?

The form takes 10 minutes to fill out.  He can't spend 10 minutes for love?  You also don't need proof of ongoing relationship.  That comes at the interview.

 

Affidavits arena worth the paper they are written on.  You should have pictures together and copies of passport stamps from the same visit.  That is pretty good proof.  Receipts and boarding passes are only good if they are with the pictures.  Without pictures all you can prove is he was thereunto that you were together.

That is all weak proof.  The passport stamps are important.  Booking a venue dent prove much either. Try to get copies of the passport stamps if you can.  Those are excellent proof that he was in country.  Those with the pictures makes the best proof.

yes i undrstand but it is very hard to get those copies right now and im really sad about that but we gonna have to do without it for the moment and send them aliong with other travel tpgether in few months and send it in the nvc stage in case we got approved but dont you think that the marriage cetificate with his signature and everuthing and the pics with dates plus the affidavits stating the same thing prove that he was here ?

I guess you should just do the best you can. Try to look at it through a stranger’s eyes. If you feel good about the proof then that is the all that is needed. I would try to get copies of his passport stamps in case you get an RFE. Just do the very best you can and all will be fine. Good luck to you. 

 

Make sure you fill out your timeline when you get a chance. What country are you from?
