All,
I am a US citizen I am going marry an India citizen in a few days now. There is a requirement to provide evidence of bonafied marriage. The visajourney K3 guide says the following:
1. Documentation showing joint ownership or property; or
2. A lease showing joint tenancy of a common residence; or
3. Documentation showing co-mingling of financialresources; or
4. Birth certificate(s) of child(ren) born to you, thepetitioner, and your spouse together; or
5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties havingpersonal knowledge of the bona fides of the maritalrelationship (Each affidavit must contain the full nameand address, date and place of birth of the person makingthe affidavit, his or her relationship to the petitioner ofbeneficiary, if any, and complete information and detailsexplaining how the person acquired his or herknowledge of your marriage); or
6. Any other relevant documentation to establish that thereis an ongoing marital union.
When I'm in India, I am planning on adding her to a joint bank account with some funds. Will that suffice as evidence?
If I need more evidence, who can provide affidavits?
Can family members and/or friends who attend the marriage provide affidavits? Where can I find an example affidavit?
Should I send in phone records and emails to show ongoing communication?
I would really appreciate your advice in this matter.
Thanks
