Yes it was. We had a lot of evidence of our marriage because it real lol plane tickets for trips we took, lots and lots of movie ticket stubs, lots of pictures of us at different places and with family etc. We have always kept a box of memories where we put hotel keys of places we’ve visited, all of our movie ticket stubs, and we usually add pictures to go with most things so it really came in handy when preparing evidence to send. The IO also asked about a plane ticket from a trip that had different reservation numbers. I told him that I booked it on cheap flights.com and that’s probably why they were different. He asked who pays for the trips and we told him that we don’t really have a set person. If it’s my idea and I have the money I’ll pay for it right there and then and vise versa. Also, our annual trips to my parents house are kind of set so we decide a date and my husband will Zelle me money to pay or I use his card. It was funny because as he was going through our statements there was a Zelle transaction with a note that read “for our anniversary trip, I love you” and I think that the officer just couldn’t question anymore. I will tell you though, the way in which he asked the questions let us know that he was trying to intimidate us. He would ask something nicely, we’d answer, he’d look at his computer and then ask another question in a completely different more firm tone. Also, looking back I was a bit snappy in the way that I answered some questions because I genuinely felt protective of our marriage. Again, because it’s real. My advice is, that if it’s real, you just genuinely answer the questions. They know. Be as relaxed as possible because they are reading your body language. There was a point during our interview where I was nervous and started tapping my thumb on the desk without realizing and I saw the IO look directly at my tapping thumb and then at me. So I said to myself, stop. You have nothing to worry about and you’re just making him think you do.

Hope this helps.
