It would be better if you will send at least 2 affidavits from friends or family and also send some pictures so they will see that you have a happy realtionship. Also, if you have some cards (Christmas, Valentine's, Birthday cards) that you have sent to each other and from friends/families sent to both of you showing your names & address on the envelop, these would also be a good idea. Good Luck.

It looks good to me. I didn't send any pictures with my application or cards etc (nor did I with my AOS application), but maybe that is a good idea. I do/did have some in my immigration folder, if anyone cares to see me. I just think pictures and cards could be easily faked, so probably don't have the same importance as hard financial ties.

Just a note on some of the things you included ...

• I don't think it's necessary at this point to send the marriage license, but many do so send it if it feels right to you.
• The statements for the chequing, savings and credit card accounts should span the term of your relationship from the point of receiving the GC till now. Most people just do between 2 - 4 statements a year from each account.
• If you have joint bills, I would not worry about sending bills in one person's name only. If you don't and are sending bills to show proof of same residence, then I would highlight the address and make sure the dates match and say why you are sending them (i.e. ....bills showing us as living at the same address)
• Same with the magazine subscriptions.
• You have good evidence, I wouldn't worry too much about photos unless they can be date verified. For instance, I sent in a magazine page with the date printed on the bottom that had a picture of David and I in it (it was his school magazine and the photo was taken at his graduation). Because you are sending in your (joint?) zoo memberships though, then it certainly couldn't hurt sending a zoo photo along as it proves that you actually use the memberships.
• If you choose to get the affidavits, then make sure they are notarized.

Hope this helps.

You are good to go - only thing different that I did was to send three Bank statements/Credit card statements and Utility bills - one recent, one a year old and one about 2 years old - to show continuity. I did not send any affidavits (useless I think) but did send a photobook (it had 12 pages). Overall, I believe your package looks pretty good to me! Good Luck

Hi guys. Thanks so much for all the very good ideas. How many pictures do you think would do. We took a lot of pictures to the first interview and to our surprise the IO looked at everyone of them, analized and dissected many of them asking questions like, who is this person? Why are them with you? What were you doing? Where do they live? Stuff like that, So based on our experience pictures do add a lot of weight to this process, and for sure we will send some, not sure about how many, we are thinking that just 6 to 8 pictures might be enough, including a couple of recent ones, just to show continuity. Please keep replying. Ray

I don't know what to send. My husband was gone for a year to Iraq and this was almost immediately after I was approved for AOS. Now for filing the removal of conditions, I'm just kinda lost because we showed them bills with both of our names, joint bank accounts, etc. when we went for our AOS interview. I read that you don't have to send evidence all over again that you already showed during your AOS interview ... so I'm lost.

Right now I have our new lease - we moved to Alabama last month since my husband lost his job. The lease is in both of our names. Before we moved here, we had a house but I was not on the mortgage because he bought the house before I came to the US.

Anyhow, so I have:

New lease contract

Birth certificate for our daughter born April 4, 2008 (I got here March 6, 2007)

Photo copy of my sonogram of baby #2 on the way (believe it or not, I am sending it in LOL) ... it includes my full name, date, etc. so I can prove I am pregnant. It shows my due date for Nov 21, 2009

Picture of us from March 2008 when I was 9 months pregnant and my husband came home from Iraq for 2 weeks for birth of the baby

Income tax return

Durable power of attorney for health care making me his "agent"in the event that he can't communicate a decision regarding medical treatment, hospitalization, health care, etc.

Last will and testament declaring me as his beneficiary

Copy of his military orders to prove he was gone an entire year

Copy of vehicle insurance in both our names

copy of car registration in both our names (can't find title)

Copy of health insurance cards for me and my kids (Bluecross Blueshield)

Copy of military ID card which lists his name as my sponsor

Copy of joint bank account #1

Copy of joint bank account #2

Department of Defense Military Family Worksheet - lists me as his spouse

Military Tricare Medical Insurance Enrollment Form - shows him as sponsor and me as his spouse

Anyway, what else? lol
