did you apply yet?...it is good you found this site early enough to get precious informations...unfortunately we thought the same that once we are married everything will be fine so we did not send enough proof when we applied (we send around 15 pictures some from wedding and some from before we got married, around 50 files skype conversation some western receip, etc....anyway we had more of these but we did not send )...After we applied few months later I found this site and I started getting worried so we decided to send them more proof ...I hope they will consider what we sent after we applied coz we realy have some precious proof (we went in other country together to visit a part of his familly, ofc plenty of picture with us and my family and with us and his familly, also my husbund visited me so much after marriage so we send them proof with that too, actually he is still living with me since 5 months )
I think you are able to keep sending additional evidence for your case, up until 10 days before your interview, or up until your case is reviewed by a Visa Officer. In our case, the VO refused to look at any new evidence we brought to the interview. If you order notes for your case, it should tell you when they add more material to your case, and possible red flags that they have noted while reviewing your case.
Good thing you found this site, because your application sounds like it was very weak. Don't let this discourage you, but we sent in several hundred pages of evidence, but were still refused.
Spending the last 5 months together is very good, and can remove some doubts of your relationship. One of the reasons they didn't believe our marriage is genuine is that we did not spend enough time together. But I only have so much vacation, and they refuse travel visa for my wife and son to come to Canada during his school holidays.
Make sure that you have strong evidence that you and your husband are spending all these days together. If they look like staged photos, it will give them a chance to doubt your evidence. Also, don't wear the same clothes for many of your photos. Different places and events, different times of day, etc. Make sure that your husband is meeting many of your friends and family, and also that you are meeting his family and friends, if possible. And not always the same group of friends.
Take a step back and try and look at your evidence objectively from an outsider's point of view. Is it really as strong as you think it is? What would be the clues that would indicate whether this relationship is genuine if you don't know anything else about this family or situation?
I wish you good luck.
