You might need to get an affidavit from your mother-in-law stating that you are living in her house.

If you cannot afford to rent a house, can you meet the requirements for I-864 affidavit of support? You need to prove that you/your wife have enough income to support you and any other members of her family.

Write a letter addressed to USCIS and have your mother in law sign it in front of a notary.

Open a seperate bank account for each of you. The mailing address will be the same location. A credit union has a small initial deposit. Consider it an investment in your future.

Do both of you get any mail at this address? Cell phone bills? Wage statements?

i dont have the leasing documents,utility bills etc to prove the common residence eventhough we are living to gether.

Both of you don't have a driver's license or state ID showing the same address?

A lot of relatively insignificant but normal bills, bank statements, etc. will demonstrate your common residence. I do think individual accounts in addition to your joint account is a good idea as often a joint account would go to the primary account holder's address. Individual's accounts would go to the individual's address; find a bank or CU that will open it based on your ITIN number if you do not have a SS number.

Also, obtain both of your credit reports. You can get a free one from each of the 3 agencies each year. Those will have address and joint financial information that you don't often think about.

Submit copies of these documents as evidence then.

yes we have cellphone bill with same address and joint bank account with same address
