Hello. I am planning to marry a girl on F1 student visa who lives on the East Coast. I currently live on the West Coast with my family and am a USC. In my culture it is not customary for the wife to live with the husband and his family until the religious ceremony is pperformed. Being that she is on student visa, we want to get the court marriage done as soon as possible but hold the rreligious ceremony in December after she graduates. I want to file for AoS for her after court marriage but want to know what proof I can show proving bona fide marriage being that we wont be living together until December (after religious ceremony). Any advice would be helpful.

You may need to wait until after the religious ceremony. The officers look for proof of cohabitation.

Thank you. Will this cohabitation proof need to be shown when I130 is filed or can cohabitation be shown in more detail during the in-person interview?
 
I currently live with my family (My father and mother own the house and I am their child). I will be getting married to a F1 visa holder (bona fide marriage) and doing AoS. I want to know what proof of cohabitation can we prove (from a living standpoint) being that my father own the home and my spouse and I will be living in it after marriage? I want to know what proof would suffice to establish that we both will be living at my dad's house?

I believe all the proof is submitted with the application. And again needed during the interview. Things like bank statements, deeds, rental agreements, for example.

Be sure to follow instructions for the forms, as they will tell you everything that is needed.

I've read that it is possible to get a green card without cohabitation, but the reasons need to be very compelling, and you will be under a lot of scrutiny.
