Hi Kostyan ...

I was curious about the reply they sent through email?? Is it normal procedure on their half to email the approvals to the petitioner (the citizen apply for the spouse)?

congratulations on the interview date!!

.

I mean how are we supposed to have documents if she just got her SSN? We would need that for pretty much anything....
 
I have almost the same besides daughter :)
I think having all those common utility bills as a proof of bona fide is ridiculous, but who knows USCIS.
In your case daughter looks as a best evidence :)

sorry, did not quite understand the question. I got email since I subsribed online to that case number. Anyone can subscribe if they have the number.
 
I am in the same boat!
I think it will be enough. 10-11 years together is a long time!! All our bills are in my spouses' name too. I just got my SSN number. I guess I can add myself to the bills now but it doesn't prove much! Anyone could add someone to there bill....it really doesn't prove anything!

not really. we have been living together since 2005 when we got married. prior to that, when we lived in mexico, we saw each other pretty much everyday since we went to school together and lived a few blocks from each other. we have pictures from back then.

You have a 3-year-old daughter, so you should be fine.

Do you guys have any bank statements or the like back from 2005?
Try to get something to prove that you guys have been living together since 2005.
In our evidence list, we had the oldest available bank statements that showed we have had the same address for a few years.

Got the GC the mail today!
Finally it's over, oh wait, there is still 751 in 2 years less 3 months and then N400 a year after that.
Hope to see some of you guys again here then.
Good luck to everybody here. Wish you all a smooth process and get your GC soon!

Received EAD card finally, more than 7 weeks after finger printing! Still no sign of interview letter.

Any November filers from NYC DO received their ILs? Trying to figure out how long it's taking in NYC.
Thanks!
