It’s the advice given when submitting passports for proof of citizenship — loss of citizenship is noted by the consulate damaging the passport so they like to see it all.

 

This is different because it’s proof bona fides, but there’s no disadvantage to it and it provides your biography page and shows the evidence being submitted is complete.

A lot of this process would seem counterintuitive to many people.  Do it anyway.

I originally included affidavits from her brother and sister and my mother, and I intend to update these and include them again in the RFE response. I understand these are weaker evidence than passport stamps. 

 

Nevertheless, what should I make sure to include and consider in with those affidavits and with getting them notarized?

 

Many thanks.

Have the affiants say, in their own words, whatever supports your goal.

Unnecessary.

Many thanks to those who have commented already. Can anyone help me understand how to properly send evidence of money sent for support. The Request for Evidence I have received states, "Remittances of wire transfers or monies sent to the beneficiary to help support them; Note: The sender and recipient of the monies deposited/sent must be clearly shown by name, address and phone number"

 

My wife is Filipina. I send money to her gcash. I previously included screenshots of my transfer history on Xoom and on Wise and screen shots of bank statements. I'm not too sure if these were looked at and if they were deficient. The screen shots show her name and her phone number.  

 

How do I satisfy this requirement to show her address with gcash transfers? Thanks.

You transferring money to your foreign spouse is not evidence of a bona fide relationship.  It is not comingling of finances.  It's you supporting her.  It is her end that you are evidencing as genuine, not yours.  Leave out anything about you sending money to her.  Comingling of finances is not expected when couples don't live in the same country.

Thank you, I appreciate your insight. In my case, I may have opened the door by previously uploading some transfer history and my RFE does contain this language, "Such evidence should cover the entire period of the marriage and may include, but is not limited to: . . . Remittances of wire transfers or monies sent to the beneficiary to help support them; Note: The sender and recipient of the monies deposited/sent must be clearly shown by name, address and phone number."

 

So I am inclined to include that information, I am just trying to get it to match up with this requirement of showing her address. All Xoom shows is her gcash phone number and name. I can include a photo of her gcash profile and the associated postal id. I am wondering if there is a better way to ensure it will be acceptable for USCIS?

 

Thanks again!

The more information and context you provide, the better advice you will get.
