How do we prove a bona fide marriage if we just got married?

Submit joint lease or mortgage documents, or a letter from a landlord showing you live together.

Open a joint bank account or show shared finances like utility bills, phone plans, or insurance policies.

Even if you’ve only been married a short time, USCIS looks at the totality of evidence so quality and consistency matter more than length of marriage.

If you filed taxes jointly (if eligible), include your joint tax return or W-2s showing married filing status.
