Hi, my spouse and I are compiling our i-130 package and was wondering if we had enough evidence to support our case. He is a USC, living in the states, and I am a Canadian citizen, living in Canada. We will be applying for consular processing.

 

  • Flights (boarding passes and email flight confirmations - 3 trips together and the rest are me visiting him in America). We now both live near the Canada-US border, so we drive to see each other
  • Hotel bookings, Airbnb receipts, car rental receipt
  • Financial documents:
    • Adding US spouse as a beneficiary to CAD spouse's TFSA, RRSP, and work life insurance
    • Adding CAD spouse as a beneficiary to US spouse's 401k and work life insurance
    • Authorized user on US spouse's credit card
  • PDF of our photos throughout 6 years with friends and family, trips taken together, and our wedding.

 

Is it necessary to include text messages or calls? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Other than the Marriage certificate, I think you are fine.
