If you think that the USCIS will grant a foreign national a green card right after they marry a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you are mistaken. Even though you both know that your marriage is a genuine, loving union, the USCIS will need you to prove it.
So, what documents can you prove to the USCIS that you have a bona fide marriage; in other words, your marriage is entered in good faith?
Useful tips for bona fide marriage document preparation:
- If you have much strong evidence, you may provide some medium evidence simultaneously. However, it is unnecessary to provide weaker evidence.
- If you have little strong evidence, you’d better provide medium evidence and weaker evidence simultaneously.
- Generally, most recent three month statements or bills for joint accounts are good enough.
- If a joint bank account or joint credit card account is not actively used (for example, no transaction at all for every month), you’d better not provide the statements of such account.
- In most cases, 20-30 photos are good enough, print either in photo paper or regular letter size paper, write date and place on the back or in blank area.
- If you need to provide sworn affidavits, 2-5 affidavits from the persons with different relationship with the couple are recommended. Get a sample affidavit letter for marriage immigration here.
