    frndly1 reacted to Crazy Cat in I-130: Evidence of Bonafide Marriage   
    To be completely honest, I think you opted for quantity over quality.  I would concentrate on 3 areas:
    1.  Evidence of time actually together such as the rental contract., etc....documents showing same address for both people.
    2.  Financial co-mingling such as bank accounts, etc.
    3.  Legal documents which are normally created during a marriage (insurance, wills, trusts, health care, etc).
     
    The personal affidavits, wedding ring receipts, engagement letter, postcard mean very little in my opinion.......  I don't mean to be critical, but I would concentrate on quality rather than quantity....
    Good Luck on your journey.

    Opinions vary.  Most "immigration lawyers" no little or nothing about family based immigration.  Caveat Emptor
     
    USCIS lists a number of possible options for additional evidence and encourages petitioners to include "one or more" types of evidence from the list.  Newlyweds who have not yet lived together will not have anything from most of the list.  It's best to concentrate on the "any other...." section by including evidence of time spent together in person and examples of how and how frequently they communicate.
     
    If ALL the additional evidence a petitioner submits is affidavits from third parties, THAT is likely to hurt and only hurt.  With other evidence, it still "HURTS" but one hopes it won't hurt enough to nullify the OTHER additional evidence.
     
    This has been discussed here for more than a decade since the I-130 instructions added the section being discussed.  I'm reflecting the conventional wisdom from all those years.  I was not of this opinion initially.  Where such affidavits CAN help is when the come from somebody who has personally witnessed the evolution of the relationship between the couple and documents that.  Affidavits from people who only attended a wedding or wedding and reception are USELESS, as they evidence NOTHING about the RELATIONSHIP.

    I want to thank everyone that responded.  He is in the process of seeking advice from an immigration lawyer.  He is hopeful everything will work out.

    The wife would not answer some of the questions that were asked because she thought they were to personal.  I'm sure that wasn't the only reason.  She was having an affair as well. I have not seen the paperwork.
