Request for evidence

[Tima_smiles 0]

Hello everyone!! I got a letter requesting evidence of a bona-fide Marriage which is a good sign that at least my case has been opened. 

We have not lived together since we got married in October we lived in my Vacant  parents house for the short time and I came here late October. 
I did include him on my life insurance plan provided by my company. In my country joint bank account are nonexistent. 
I have pictures of us with family and friends. Of our Wedding ceremony that was very private. 
what else can I provide? 
 

my layers mentioned if I do provide letters from affidavit they would have to be notarized in my country. What does that mean? How do I notarized letters from other friends and family? 
does anyone know the format for such letters?  
 

the letter stated the following: 

 

 

INTENT TO MARRY WAS BONA-FIDE
Submit evidence to establish that (MY NAME), intent in marriage was to establish a life together with (SPOUSE NAME) The evidence submitted should cover the entire period of the marriage. Such evidence may include, but is not limited to:

The persons making the affidavits may be relatives and need not be citizens of the United States.
