In marriage-based immigration cases, USCIS must determine whether the marriage is genuine (bona fide) and not entered solely for immigration purposes.
Sometimes couples file their applications soon after getting married and may not yet have accumulated strong evidence of their relationship.
Fortunately, you may still be able to submit additional evidence before the interview.
Submitting Evidence Through a USCIS Online Account
If you created a USCIS online account, submitting additional documentation is relatively simple. Applicants can upload documents directly to their case file before the scheduled interview.
Examples of useful evidence include:
-
Joint bank account statements
-
Lease agreements or mortgage documents
-
Utility bills showing shared residence
-
Photos from family events or travel
-
Joint insurance policies
Bringing Documents to the Interview
If you do not have an online account, you can bring additional documents directly to the green card interview.
The interviewing officer may review and accept these materials during the interview process.
Always remember to:
-
Bring organized copies
-
Keep duplicates for your own records
Strengthening Your Case
Additional evidence can help demonstrate the ongoing nature of your marriage, which can significantly strengthen your case.
