    Adjustment of Status from H1B Based on Marriage
    Situation:
    Me: Indian living in US on H1B (valid until 2013); recently married
    last month (only a week before H1B was stamped).
    Wife: GC holder for less than 6 months. Has been to the US only once
    in Jan2011 to receive GC that was sponsored by her USC uncle long time
    back.

    Question:
    1. Because PD for F2A is 2007 for Indians, I know my wife must file I-130 before I can file I-485. But I am a bit concerned because my marriage is fairly recent and my wife is also a recent GC holder. Do I need to be worried about anything? We can show the joint lease statement etc but what else are we supposed to send with the I-130 package to make my case stronger and less suspicious that marriage was done only to get GC?

    2. Are we missing anything else beside: I-130, G-325a (me and my wife),
    marriage certificate, my birth cert, joint ownership or property etc,
    copy of my wife's GC, photos?

    We don't know the facts of your relationship or marriage. Think hard about the evidence you have of your having a long-term, serious, committed relationship and bona fide marriage, and that will be the type of evidence you would present to the USCIS in support of your claim of a bona fide marriage.
