hi, Everyone
thank you for all the help from the day when I file tile today.
Next month I am finally having my interview and I am starting to put things together for the day.

Could someone take a look for my list and see what I am missing? After I am starting to prepare, I start to feel I don't have much. :o

Joint apartment rental lease
Joint car insurance
Joint checking and saving account statement
(maybe joint tax for 2006, we are thinking about file it together before the interview)
and a big thick scrap book that I made after the wedding. The pictures are from the wedding.
that is it...seems not much at all :(

we have joint credit card, but on the statement only have my name on it. because it was my card first and we asked for additional card for my husband.
We each have our own healthy insurance and can't afford life insurance yet. Utilities are on each of our name but not joint.
We each own our car before we are married. So that is not joint.
My husband came to my county twice before we were marry to visit my family, but they were E-ticket, so there is no record now. :(

Based on what I have, is that enough? seems really little compare with a lot of other couples. My in-laws voluntary to come to interview with us, they think that will prove to the agent that they really cares about me. Will that help? :rolleyes:

Also, on the interview letter, a lot of the things they want us to bring, such as:medical letter, tax information, supporting documents...but it also said"unless already filed"...so do I still need to bring those?

and I am on a marriage based application, what is my supporting material? like, marriage certificate? What else? :confused:


sorry for so many question, thank you for any feedback. :o
 
Cindy,

Your list looks good, but the more documents you have, the better.

On the Utility bills, can you not call the departments and have your spouses name added? THats what I did. I initially had my name alone, but added my hubby's too.
The same with any other accounts.

On the credit cards - even if you have different statements for both your names, as long as it belongs to one account is good enough. Take them both together.

If you have given each other any birthday cards, christmas cards, valentine cards, etc... from earlier take them.

If you have received any letters, cards, mails, on both your names at your address, take them. This is only in support of evidence in case they ask you for more.

pictures are a big evidence :) so thats good.
if you have any IDs, license on the present address, take that.

with all this, you should be set with the interview.

Also, try and file your 2006 taxes together before the interview, that is a BIG plus!!

I am not quite sure if your relatives will be allowed inside the USCIS office. Others may have an advise for you on that.

Well, good luck and take care! :)

Joint apartment rental lease

This is the most important so I wouldn't worry

Joint car insurance

Joint checking and saving account statement

This is good also.

You file your taxes whatever way you want to. You don't have to file jointly for USCIS benefit.[

Take all of your paperwork that you have - (marriage certificate, birth certificates, passports, EAD) I assume you keep a copy of everything you sent to USCIS. Make sure you have copies in case they want something. If already been sent, chances are they won't even ask you about any copies of anything. Take all correspondence sent to you from USCIS (Notice of Actions) Also to let you know, my spouse and I only had joint bank account, new lease agreement with both names, joint bill and pics. So you have more than we did so don't worry.

The only thing the officer saw f ours was the the wedding album, which wasn't much, and a cell-phone bill. But then again we do have a baby together so maybe she didn't investigate further, but even if she would have, we didn't have many thing either. For example we had no joint bank accounts, no joint lease, no joint credit cards either, my wife didnt even have a state ID with our address on it. the only thing we did have was a cellphone bill together, thats about it. (She did take that).

You willd o fine.

P.S: how long have you guys been married?
 
thank you so much for all the information and help.

hey,DaBigHurt, our anniversary is a day apart. We got married at 3.18.06

I also have another problem...I had long distance relationship with my husband before. We met in 2002, started long distance at 2004 and get married at March 2006, I didnt' move in with my husband until September after we are married because we were at my home town.

When I filed all the application, because I moved quite a lot between 2004 tile we are married, therefore, I only put my permenant address on the application between 2004-2006 (which is my in-law's address)
Will the agent think I am lying something about our relationship, because I didnt' filed in every address that I had before the day I filed? Also, I have no prove how we keep the relationship during long distance,will that be a problem?

Any thought will be great. Should I try to prove something here? :o

Hi Cindy :)

I think you will be fine. I can't speak for all the immigration officers, but the one we had didn't ask for any proof of our relationship before marriage - we just told her our story in brief, and she was quite happy.

As far as the address is concerned - are you talking about your addresses in the US? If yes, then don't panic, cause on G-325A they say they only want addresses where you lived for over 6 months, so I do not see a problem with that.

I also think that IO's rely more on their judgement then on the paperwork, and they are able to see who's for real and who's not right away. So, you'll be fine :)

Good luck! :)
