K1- period of living together no postal evidence

[JulieandDanny 7]

I suspect I am worrying about something that doesn't matter. (again)

I am working on our K1 I-129f.

In our five year address history- it will show that we have been living apart (me in US, him still in UK) for almost a year now...

For 10 months prior to that I lived in his flat. All bills etc. were in his name and/or paperless. I never bothered to change my official mailing address (with my bank, work, university) because I was simply giving him cash for part of the bills and because i maintained a good relationship with my old housemate (best friend) who simply passed on my mail to me when we saw each other...

Prior to that we both had separate addresses in Liverpool (me several because I was on study, post-study visas there for a good few years)...

Will it be weird if there is no evidence from our shared address? I literally don't have anything with my name on it for there... have searched!

Bear in mind we have plenty of evidence for meeting in the last two years (primary evidence- multiple trips with boarding passes and receipts, passport stamps/visas placing us in the same country many times for visits when living apart and vacations, jobs we worked on together when both living in UK, pictures associated with time-dated event tickets/receipts)... We seemed to have been better at documenting it outside the flat is all!

Is it worth offering any kind of explanation (perhaps on our relationship timeline or along with address list) of why I have no postal evidence placing me at our shared address? Or is it TooMuchInformation not necessary.... 'don't open a door that doesn't need to be opened and confuse things' territory... I suspect perhaps I should simply focus on highlighting the good evidence we do have rather than apologizing for something that just doesn't exist.

Thoughts appreciated.

Over-thinking. They don't try to unravel your life story like a mystery plot. Just show you met with what you have.

This is just my opinion but- I would just write your story and don't over-explain for things they aren't asking you. If they have questions they will ask and then you can explain. For now focus on the evidence you have and leave it at that. I lived abroad with him for 3 years,1 in same apartment, and the apartment was in my name as well as all the bills, so we didn't have any evidence. I just said we lived together when I wrote our :"story", we listed the same address, and it was never brought up or questioned. Include any other evidence you have such as pictures, plane tickets, passport stamps, etc...

I loved your explanation. This is so comforting to know as I am a worrier myself.

Thanks once again Nich-Nick! Fair play!...

I'm going to be imagining the USCIS bod saying those exact lines as they peruse my app the whole time i continue to assemble it these next few days... it eases my mind... in the picture in my mind they are whistling while they work... am i mad?

Agreed on not answering what's not asked and thanks all...

Racking up some more OWOP post points eh? (OverWorriedOriginalPoster... it's my new VJ anagram haha...)

Not mad at all. They whistle that song from Snow White. And every morning they march in to "Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, It's Off To Work We Go".

OWOP hahaha. You spent too much time in England. It's those Brits who love to worry. You're a Texan...we are tougher than that.
