Questions about CR-1

[Tahlisha 28]

I am here in Morocco going through the process to marry here. I would like to know what I need to when the process is done here and I return home????? I was reading the guide here on VJ and saw something about evidence..... What if you don't have the evidence listed???? I mean if a person has never been tothe states how would he/she be on a lease or have a bank account??? What other type of evidence can I send????? Thanks in advance for any info .....

You need to try and gather as much evidence as possible, but you are right, some of it just cant be got.

SOME leases will add your spouse

SOME bank accounts will add you spouse

Easier ones are utilities, life insurance, health insurance, store cards, taxes. Basically anything you can think of that you will be adding your spouse to anyway.

Along with that you can send call records, chat history, photographs (particularly of the ceremony)

Get creative!

Since you will be getting married soon (congratulations), you will want to change your "filed for" from K1 to CR-1 on your display.

As for evidence, you would submit photos of the two of you together, phone records, emails, chat logs, etc. After you return home after, add your wife to things that you are able to add her to. For example, insurance policies, authorized user on your credit card, etc. I've seen it posted here the USCIS will not expect newly married couples who live in different countries to have established a residence or a joint bank account (forgot who posted that).

The marriage cert and letters from friends and family who are aware of your marriage. You can include pictures if you have them, if you feel the need to front load then chat logs and emails. You should include those extra doc. that works best for your consular.

Congratulations on the marriage.

Thank you to everyone for your info.... We filed for th K-1 and it was sent back then our case was closed because the dates expired... Whatever that means... Anyhoo... Rather than apply for the K-1 again we decided to Marry here and go for the CR-1... When I get home and file I will change our status...
