Hi 

my wife’s cr1 visa interview is coming up and I’m worried about the evidence we have due to covid. 
We got married pretty much when the crisis started so the travel ban was in effect.

I purchased a plane ticket prior to the beginning of the outbreak but obviously couldn’t use it.  We don’t have any new pics because weren’t able to see each other after getting married

evidence I’m sending consists of

 

plane ticket booking confirmation for the flight I was supposed to take with resort bookings. I have evidence of my wife and I communicating back and forth with travel site for voucher of flight

 

a weeks worth of WhatsApp chat to show an example of how much we communicate (we have a total of 500+ pages altogether so a week was about 22 pages)

 

marriage pics (sent to uscis previously)

few honeymoon pics

hotel booking /restaurant booking for honeymoon

 

Evidence that I put her on my health insurance

evidence I put her as beneficiary to medical insurance (previously sent to uscis)

 

thats pretty much all I can send due to not being able to visit due to covid.  Also the fact that she lives in South Africa was cause of concern due to the variant of the virus that is running rampant there.  I’m wondering if the interviewer might give us slack since we were unlucky that our marriage pretty much started on the eve of covid outbreak

The best evidence you can provide is your marriage certificate, evidence of time actually spent together, and continued communication.  I would not include evidence of tickets or bookings which were cancelled.

I’ve sent few pictures of the two times she visited me plus her plane tickets she paid herself.

About her: she’s educated and lives in a wealthy coastal town of South Africa . She has steady employment with anheiser-Busch as a procurement specialist.  She’s well off and owns her own home and cars (which she will sell when she finally gets to move here).  Hopefully the interviewer will look at her background to see that she’s not trying to cheat the system. Due to us working and limited vacation time 

we met each other twice (communicating for few months prior) and don’t have a lot of pics for the times we met prior our marriage besides what I’ve listed
