Well, the interview is just over three weeks away and I have to say I'm sort of nervous. We've been married for over three years and it's real but I guess I'm worried about what evidence to take because I have to actually show them it's real. We have bank accounts, loans, life insurance policy, apartment lease, car ownership and so on as evidence. I also have a lot of stuff showing us together when we lived in Canada (bank accounts, loans, credit cards, phone bills, tax returns and even the application for her Canadian residence card). I don't even know if they'd accept stuff from Canada, but we do have it, plus it's the only we can show we were together during those couple years.
I'm a little concerned with other things, though. The utilities are the big issue. We were living at her parents for a few months because we were unsure what we were going to do (we thought we would be going back to Canada), so other than the bank account there's really nothing else during that time that I can show them. In April we moved in to our own place. We both signed the lease. I set up all the utilities so at first they were under my name only since they said they need her SSN (which I don't know, I barely know mine). Eventually, a couple months down the road (I'm lazy), I added her name to the accounts. Phone bill has her name for a few months back. The problem is that despite me bugging them the electric company hasn't put her name on the bill, and the cable company spelt her name wrong on the bill for a few months despite my nagging, only eventually just getting it right with the last one. So with these bills her name really only goes back a few months.
Is any of this going to be an issue? Will it be okay since I do have other things, even going back to Canada? As well, while we have a lot of wedding photos, we don't take many pictures. We have a few of us while we were dating, and also some recent trips, but honestly we don't have that many. I guess I'm also a little concerned about that.
