Proof of relationship

Hi guys,

We're preparing for the interview coming up very soon and we're very lacking of evidence.

We came upon a doctor diagnosis 2 years ago that my wife (gf back then) was pregnant. Even though we decided to go for abortion (both were students at that time, so not ready mentally and financially), I'm wondering if it's a good thing to bring to the interview.

The reason why I'm asking is because of this:
+ The fact that she aborted the child is a sensitive subject. I'm not sure if people will feel offended by this.
+ On the other way, it can prove we've been together.

Every evidence now helps our case but we also want to make sure it doesn't stab us back. Please advice.

P/S: our list so far has
+ 100% beneficary to my wife if I'm dead (insurance paid by current employer)
+ Bank statement together
+ Phone records
+ Several pics (Yes. We have to ask our friends for this ... we don't have lots of pics taken together).
That's all. No bills together since we've been living w/ parents ( and still ... ). I bought her lots of presents, and thinking of taking pictures of them to show to the interviewer.

Thanks again,
 
Hi,
First of all, please always give some details as what kind of interview or processing you are going through, so that others can answer your question better.

Btw this is not a legal advice, this is what i think might help you.


I-485 AOS (Adjustment of Status)
If this is a I-485 AOS interview and both you of haven't been married that long, so what ever evidence you can give will help you. The more joint things both of you have the better it is for your case.

USCIS is lenient for AOS with less than 1 year based on my experience, but you have to give them proof and that includes
for the time of marriage till present.
1- Joint Bank Accounts (Statments should show both's name)
2- Joint Credit Cards, Utility and Phone bills
3- Joint Tax returns, Federal and state
4- Joint Insurances ( Medical, Dental, Auto)
5- Pictures
6- Itineraries of trips together
7- Drivers licenses with same address
8- Auto Lease/Loan with Both on it and registered to both.
9- Apartment Lease or Home Mortgage agreement with boths name on it.
and more..

If it's I-751 interview ( condition to remove residency) then USCIS expects proof for the last 2 years or so, or if it's AOS interview after being married for more than 1 year or so.

Here's a overwhelming list of other documents you will need to prove your relationship is legit.

Normally at the interview be prepared to answer any question and don't panic or worry too much.

They might ask the citizen sponsoring spouse boldly, did you marry this person to immigrate her/him?

So here's a list of questions that might help you.

On the other hand, it can make them think your relationship wasn't that strong ... they could think that if your relationship was really that strong, she would have given birth to the child. Some even think of people who get abortion as equivalent to murderers. So don't bring it up in the interview at all.
 
No need to bring this up at the interview unless you are specifically asked by the officer about the subject of children.

I wouldn't bring up the abortion at the Interview unless specifically asked, like someone else said.
You don't know how the interviewing Office would react to this subject, and I wouldn't risk a negative reaction at this point.
 
Thanks guys. These are the kind of response that I want to know when I posted this question.

I guess we just go with what we have now, and hope for the best.

Thanks again,
 
@luxuguy,
Yes go with what you have and answer what is being asked. Don't go into any details which might turn out to be negative. In your case the abortion. Having kids is not compulsory for the approval of your case.

Good Luck, let us know how did it go, so that it might help others.
 
Sure guys. This forum has been great help. Our interview is on March 10th and I'll surely post it here.
