We were lucky as we got a joint bank account with Bank of America when I was over here last June, even without an SSN just gave them my UK passport details and once I got my SSN they just updated the account. BUT it means we have joint account statements for 12 months + even tho some are in Shan's old name.

Hmmm. Maybe we should give that a try.

We've really only got that and the new lease that has joint names on it. Shan doesnt have health benefits yet so I'm not named on that sorta thing.....

We have the lease and the electric bill; that's basically it. Cable, cell and bank seem to want SSN. We have health insurance but for some reason my job doesn't put the spouses name on the card, so she just uses one for medical or dental with only my name. She does have a card for the health savings account. If we get an interview, it will be interesting to see what they expect us to have.

NOA 2. Really?

We were able to add Andy to my Wells Fargo bank account without him having a SSN, too. We updated the account when we had it.

Maybe I have the wrong impression and should try again...

In addition to joint bank account, I had a cell phone bill which my husband had me put onto his plan, although my name isnt on the bill, the cell phone number is so we used that. He also gave me a second credit card from his credit card company on the same account, and although again, my name isnt on the account, I took a copy of the most recent bill and made a copy with my credit card on it so they can see my name on the card, and the same card number as his.

My health insurance is different to my husbands too but I used that as it has our address on it as well.

Hope these may give you some ideas. Good luck for your interview.

So you guys that got an RFE...did it look like this:

Current Status: REQUEST FOR INITIAL EVIDENCE SENT, CASE PLACED ON HOLD

On September 11, 2009, we mailed a notice requesting initial evidence in this case. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the evidence requested. Meanwhile, processing of this case is on hold until we either receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once you submit the evidence requested and a decision is made, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your mailing address.

Initial Evidence sounded strange to me.

Hmm. It seems a little early in the game for RFE. They've only had our stuff for about 2.5 weeks. Guess we'll see what the mail brings today...

Well, they want the medical exam. We sent the vaccination supplement 'cause it has been less than one year...blah blah blah. So I guess we need to have another medical? Any comments?

Sounds like they may havve lost the medical stuff at POE. Bummer =( We added a note to our vacc supplement sheet that the rest of the medical stuff was taken at POE. Did you write any notes on yours?

No notes on the supplement. I read a thread where a person's Congressman was able to call the NBC and make them find the medical. It was in one of 2 files; the wrong one. Their processing was resumed in less than 1 week. Otherwise we need to find money for a new medical and that would suck or we could try to get it here from Brazil which could be alot of work too.
