Proof of living together if you don't have a lease

[elishav 0]

Hello,

My husband and I have the pleasure of living in two places at once, due to the fact that where we live is not the place the he goes to school, so our weekend address is not our weekday address. That will be fun explaining to the USCIS. As if that isnt enough to get us flagged, we also have no mortgage, lease or utility bills together because we live with roommates in one place and rent property from my mom so it is all in her name. We have other stuff, like taxes together, bank account, bills, and joint insurance(including health and life) and 401K. But what they want is proof we live together...right? I was thinking get a notarized statement of where we live together from my mom(our primary address and where our mail goes). Does anyone have any thoughts on this subject? Our interview is in November.

I think the statements are a good idea. I would try to get another one from someone else. I remember someone on VJ, having an affidavit from his mother and the IO not wanting to read it because: "Mothers till say anything for their children".

Well, I kind of thought that too. But then I don't really want to draw attention to the conflicting addresses by giving a statement by our other roommates. But maybe if that settles the question. I am not sure.

Don't go where you don't have to go, and don't open any doors you don't have to open..

Use your mailing address which hopefully is the one USCIS has on file, and send all of the other evidence and that's it.

Make it simple, not complicated. Don't lie, but don't volunteer information that isn't required.
