Praetorian, congratulations for your success.
I was away for a while, and now I'm trying to put the evidence together before the interview.
My interview is in Philadelphia, at the begining of September. However, on August 27th, I'm starting school in a different state. My husband and I went to visit the uni, and found a place to live. My current lease (6 months terms) ended on 7/31. After this date we are living on a month to month agreement (I believe this is stated in the lease agreement). The lease in the new place starts on 8/15, however, the guy did not give us a formal lease. I asked him to put in writing that we'll leave there on a month to month basis, how much we paid to move in (deposit and first month), the address, and the owner's signiture. Will it be O.K. to show the old lease (hubby will stay at old place up to september 1st) and request change of address at the end of interview for the card to be mail to our address (different city and state)?
Also, when they require that we bring letters on both our names at the same address? Do they mean my name and husband's name on the envelope? We have letters sent to each one of us with the same address on it. Like, letters from my dentist, school etc. address to me; letters from his school addressed to him. The address is the same, but his school can't put my name on his stuff as it makes no sense.
Also, the electric bill is on my husband's name. I called the electric company and requested that my name be added to the account, which they did. However, on the bill they only list his name. Now, the cable bill is on my name. Our address is listed on both. How do I go about this? Will it be O.K. to show the bills with same address and explain that they only print the primary beneficiary on the bill?
As evidence, I have about 100 pictures of my husband and I, and jont account (I plan to request bank statement and bank letter closer to the interview's date on August 19th). We also have boarding passes and travel confirmation for 2 trips we took in the past few months.
Also, my husband and I can't find out birth certificates (I have a copy of mine). He is a naturalized US citizen? Do we need the original birth certificates for the interview? If we do, we really need to get new ones ASAP.
Will this do? Thanks in advance for answers. I promise to share my experience after the interview.
