I am in the same boat you were in - my husband(UKC) and I married in August 2012 and he had to leave about 20 days following our marriage. We had his 2 boys with us so socially we didn't do a lot- we took horseback riding lessons, got a joint bank account, hung out with my family, and spent quality time before they went back to for England. He has also been added to my car insurance and my health insurance. But we didn't do anything socially except go on some trips and the riding lessons. What did you end up doing for documentation? We have photos after the wedding of his boys birthday celebrations, and we have wedding photos- I'm anxious to hear what you used.

I am considering an affidavit from one or two of my family members. I can even provide info regarding my upcoming trip to England and our booked mini-cruise to France in December. Can his sister from England (I have yet to meet her) write about our upcoming plans for a huge family Christmas in England or is that a bit "over the top"? Would a letter from the girl who gave us riding lessons (about 6 times) be helpful since I do know her and she saw us together "socially" in a way?

Oh- we also went to the town police station to give his boys a tour and took them to the high school they will be attending for a tour as well. Does including info like that regarding my stepsons (his boys) future in the US a good idea?

I appreciate any help or advice people can give me!

Should I expect to now get an RFE? If so, I'm going to be super annoyed!

If the I-130 is filed in London, they do not want to see the additional evidence. However, that being said, some people who do NOT send additional evidence to London, end up getting an RFE for it. Others, like yourself, who send it, end up getting it returned with a note saying it wasn't needed.

So really, there's no way of knowing which way they want it in London.
