How can I prove my marriage is genuine for immigration purposes?

To prove that your marriage is genuine for immigration purposes, you need to provide substantial evidence showing that your relationship is real and not solely for obtaining a green card. Key evidence includes documents demonstrating shared life commitments, such as joint bank account statements, shared leases or mortgage agreements, utility bills with both names, and joint tax returns. Photos of the two of you at significant events, trips, or with family members are also helpful. Affidavits from friends and family who can attest to your relationship are another good way to demonstrate authenticity. The more evidence you provide that shows your lives are intertwined—such as proof of shared finances, insurance policies, or messages and correspondence—the stronger your case will be.
