Proof of living with an USC spouse

I have the interview within a week and I am wondering what would be a good prrof that I am still married and living with my USC spouse. USCIS did not specify on what exact document they want to see.

I would think a tax return is a good document. But, isn't it kind of old this late in the year? I am playing devil's advocate with myself.

Any suggestion?

Joint bank account statements.
Joint mortgage documents
Children birth certificate and their school records
Joint utility bill or single utitlity bill from both you and your spouse bearing the same address.
 
also, see if your spouse can join you in the interview (it is not a requirement), it sends a clear msg.

It's TOTALLY unnecessary.
Spouse's presence is not requested. And usually spouses are busy at work/school/whatever.
Also, I disagree on the clear message. If I'm scared and guilty because of a sham marriage, then I would definitely bring my wife to the interview.
They have plenty of docs from original AOS and I-751. Definitely recommended to bring more, but that's enough. Unless red flags are raised, usually tax transcripts, insurance cards with both names on, joint bank account statements, credit card statements and utility bills will do.
 
There have been reports that some IOs have asked if the applicant has brought the spouse to the interview, but overall this is an exception rather than rule. It's definetly not a requirement to bring the spouse.
 
i received a letter, asking me to go back for a second interview.. my spouse presence wasnot requested.... and all my papers and tax are all clear..we are ,married and we will stay married.. 4 years married sends a message... also sheis busy at work and school... she lives 2 hours away from me due to school. butwe file tax and all documents together.. at work school and even insurance acc , credit card, everything.. should i go w her to the second interview?// my case status is need of prove ...
 
I was just asked where my wife at the time was and why she didn't come. I just said a) she's working and b) we didn't think she would be allowed in the interview.

IO didn't have a problem with that and continued on...

I tend to disagree. I understand it is not required...but it can help and preempt additional questions or follow-up.

I also do not understand, if it is bona fide marriage and how come spouse cannot find time to attend the USC interview which will probably happen –once a life time ( i understand it could be unique cases where spouse is sick/can not attend to attend due to the other circumstances)

My wife has a very demanding, stressful job.
Plus, she does not want to know anything about immigration (I guess she is pissed that she turned 18 a few weeks before her parents naturalized so she had to go through that herself). On top of that, she doesn't have a day off left, as we tend to use them to go to vacation rather than to a disgusting federal building.
She would come only if absolutely mandatory (which was the AOS interview).
I have tons of proof of bona-fide marriage. If the I/O requests my wife's presence, then he/she is an idiot.
We need to stress less about USCIS. It's not that hard, let's just follow the rules.
 
u r right sarrebal. my wife too, she with school schedule and can not miss class due to school budget, also work? imean time is hard... also , we have all the paperwork needed and requested. should not be a problem

SFC, your numerous posts here indicate that your case is being scrutinized for the marriage. While I would not advise people to take their spouse along if not requested, your case is different. If they are scrutinizing your file, why would your wife not make an effort of 1 day and get you through?
 
i dont think they are doubting my case since is strong marriage and we have many documnets that prove that.. i was not inform as how the process works, besides all the real info is the one i am getting fro this forum... just want to clarify all my questions..... maybe lil over the top ..sorry....
just over-asking .

thank you very much

Sar might be right, but your case and his are different and I am certain he's going to be approved without any problems. Who will deny an italian man a US citizenship in NYC? I mean...common..., if it weren't for pizza, NYC wouldn't be NYC. :D

As I suggested in other threads, bring your wife to avoid problems with IO. As I said in other threads which you opened, USCIS might already have suspicion about your case. Just pre-empt this process, but if you are fine with a denial, then wait two years and reapply. You wife will make time to accompany you if this is important and no bull exist under your shoes...:eek: However, USCIS has questions about your marriage, we had a woman weeks ago on this forum, she was clearly told, bring your husband. However, she didn't want to bring her husband as he had some medical problems, of which she had send the hubby home to be with mommy, paying mommy to look after her husband. She was asking us if she should ignore the requirement to bring the husband and show up by herself, which is like receive an RFE from USCIS and instead of sending it, you mail them a lemon pound case with raspberry topping.

Bob and other guys, can you find the thread I am referring to? She was in NYC and claimed to have made a partner and was moving to London. She also mentioned that her husband won't be helpful at the 2nd naturalization interview because he's a thief...:eek:

Plus, we discovered this place, what the hell!
I'm offended we even have to go through immigration like others... We Italians should be citizens at birth... :D

I am on board with automatic citizenship to any Italian who gets off the plane anywhere in the US. I mean, pasta and spaghetti, lasagna...who could have thought of it...:confused: Good luck to your upcoming interview, it should be smooth, especially if you apply the wisdom learned from this forum....:)
 
There's far more to Italian culture than food... There's rarely a day that I don't enjoy my collection of Premiata Forneria Marconi music CD's, wife's vast collection of Murano glass, or look at my screen saver to see my next car (Fiat New 500) smile at me :)

(And I'm not Italian!)

I blast Andrea Bocelli every morning en route to work, and drive home to the sounds of the greatest tenor of the past century, Luciano Pavarotti... miserere...:D

I like both of them when I see them on PBS. I bought / downloaded multiple CDs also, but can never get past one track when listening. Would you recommend any starter albums? Something which might be more pop than classical just to get me into this.
