Too young?? Help!

My wife and I got married last week. I am 18 years old and she is 17 years old. She had permission from her parents to marry. She also has an older sponsor because I obviously cannot financially sponsor her. Our issue is that we have been in a long distance relationship for a year. Right now I am in college and she is back in high school thousands of miles away. We didn't buy wedding rings (no money right now), we don't live together, we don't have any joint accounts. Will our marriage be rejected for not being bona fide? We are surely to young to have all of the documents that they want to see to prove it is bona fide. But, we are still in love. I am paranoid that we will be rejected, and if we are rejected will we be forced to see the fraud unit???

What we have as evidence:
-travel receipts of me coming home for spring break and her flying out to my college twice to visit
-receipt of transaction made from her bank account to mine a while back to pay her part of the gas money from all the time I spent driving us around
-hundreds of emails back and forth
-instant message logs going back one year... a lot of IMs is the point
-cell phone bills... although we used the internet to talk more than the phone
-one joint bank account that we are setting up
-trip to china that we are planning this summer together
-receipt of valentines day gift I sent her
-pictures (one which shows us in the same picture in an auditorium for a competition on the day that we met... it proves we were both actually there... it was a photo taken of my friends and I but luckily she is far in the background... one is from summer... others from our trip to las vegas... we don't like to take many pictures)

Please help. I love her but I don't want to go through with if it will be rejected, especially if it being rejected means that they will think it is fake and we will get in trouble.

Trip to China. :cool: Trip to Las Vegas.:cool: How about accepting financial responsibility and establish yourself. You really must want a green card bad!!!
OK. Now that I have said that. Maybe this will help a little.
Joint bank account is a start. You need to take more pics together.
You really need to start living together before you apply for anything.
At least in the same state!!! Your situation is a little premature. You should have waited until you she graduated from high school. Or at least until she was 18. Why the rush? :confused: Is she pregnant? Just because you have a sponsor to sponsor you for green card does not mean that your obligations have ceased. You are the husband and you are to be able to provide for her. You weren't too young to marry, you ain't too young to take care of her. :rolleyes: I take it she is still living with parents. Man, you really jumped the gun. Something's gotta give. How much longer is she to be in high school. When is she to join you? or vise versa? Why did you marry so young? :rolleyes: What is she going to do after she graduates, that is if she is not taking care of child by then? You might have a little bit of a problem with Immigration cause it doesn't seem like there is any plan? I am not judging but you shrugged off the financial part (stating about sponsor):confused: . Maybe someone on the forum can help. I hope the GOOD OLE DOC is in??? Are you DOC?:o

So the case won't past even if there is solid proof that we are romantically involved? Like emails, IMs, how we act around each other. We aren't old enough for all that other stuff and I can't believe they'd really expect us to have it.
 
They only expect from you what they expect from every other married couple. If you are old enough to be married you really are old enough to live together etc etc and thus have the items you need.

couldn't have said it better myself. ;)

surely, that's the best proof of a genuine marriage for USCIS!

Married people (and I don't mean all of them, of course) usually don't split gas money for driving together.
