Thank you all for the replies. For sources, there is a multitude of websites that talk about it, including a VJ partner that has an article on it. But it seems in practice it’s different.

This is what I was more or less referring to. That a statement directly telling that we were together after marriage (therefore satisfying the consummation requirement) along with the evidence showing that we were is more solid/convincing as opposed to nothing explicitly stating we were together.

Not explicit details. More so outlining marital relations/consumption happened while together. I’ve seen this mentioned on quite a few websites and guides.

Yes we have a decent amount of evidence we were together. What I’m referring to about a declaration is a statement directly addressing that requirement for eligibility (consummation). From my understanding, USCIS doesn’t specify in their manual exactly what they want for evidence, though being together at the same place is primary and important evidence. But the declaration also being another piece of evidence directly addressing the matter of consummation.

Hello everyone. Stumbled across this forum while looking for answers to my questions. I’m currently preparing the evidence for my I-130. I had a zoom Utah proxy marriage with my husband. We met for about a month and now want to file. I have passport stamps, pictures, and boarding passes. I don’t have any evidence of hotel bookings unfortunately since it was all cash and no prior bookings. I also saw that a declaration (not affidavit) of consummation from me and my spouse is also potentially good direct evidence since it’s direct reference to that requirement. Would this hurt? Could it be useful?
