Received RF

[cfagh1 0]

My husband and I have been married 3 years. I applied to remove his conditions last November sending in copies of fax reurns, copies of debit cards and bank statements showing a joint account, copies of medical insurance cards showing he is on my insurance at work, copy of my 401k benficiary listing my husband as beneficiary Two weeks ago I received an RFE. They are now asking for copies of bank statements showing a joint account from March 2011 to Sept 2011 and Jan 2012 to Aug 2012. They want financial records and residency proof.

I didn't add my husband to the bank account until July 2012 and he is not on any of my credit cards. He didn't want to be on the credit cards and he wasn't working. We don't have any life insurance and he is not on my car insurance. We don't have any joint loans and his name is not on the utility bills. This may look bad for us but he just got a job in March 2013. My utilities were already established and they will only put one name on the account. He does have a drivers license that he received in 2012 but with him not working he didn't want me to pay the added expense of adding him to the insurance. He does not drive my car but he wants to get his own vehicle now that he is working and I would add him to the car insurance. He works at home so he said there is no need to add him to the car insurance until he gets a car. His name is not on the mortgage because he only recently started working.

I don't know what to do since I don't have the records that they are asking for. Please help, any advice would be appreciated.

My husband is on my auto insurance and he doesn't even have a license.

He's on there because they require me to report being married.

It actually lowered my insurance by $2 reporting that I was married.

He does not have to be listed as a driver.

They are looking for evidence of joint living and evidence of joint financial responsibility.

A joint lease takes care of the joint living. We need to know your situation in regards to joint living and lease to advise properly.

You can add your husband to your checking account at least now and submit a letter from the bank that he has since been added. If you have multiple utility/ telephone/ .. providers, get one of those changed to your husband's name - they are not looking for both names on one utility but at least one utility with the address in your husband's name also.

What about your joint tax returns, which is a great proof.

I am in the process of putting my packet together -- taking into account the things that you've listed. I am also including my health insurance policy which has him listed, notarized affidavit of support from our pastor, a friend, and my employer, medical records that involved the both of us, joint tax returns. Other secondary items are pictures marriage incense, our son's birth records (only areas that document both of us taking the baby for visits.

My suggestions is really comb through everything that you do and have together and determine if its primary evidence or secondary. ALSO re-read the letter and make sure that you address all points details in the RFE

All the best.

We do have a joint checking account since July 2012 however they are also asking about 2011. We don't have a joint lease but I have a mortgage on the home in my name only since I bought the home in 1995. I can try to put one of the utilities in my husbands name however they wanted something from the time period 2011 - 2012. We are also in the process of buying a vehicle for him to drive which will be titled in both our names. I have our medical insurance cards and I have a letter from my employer showing that I added him to my insurance in 2011. I can also send pictures if it will help. We are in several of my brothers wedding pics. I just hope this will be enough.

Our wait is finally over and my prayers have been answered. My husband received his green card on 8-29-13. I was surprised that everything went through so quickly and no interview was needed.
