Do we have enough evidence for our AOS interview?

[xcorlett 0]

Hi!

We have our interview on Wednesday for AOS and I have last minute nerves of course!

What do you guys think of the evidence we have for relationship/residence??

- Plenty of photos of us kissing/hugging/together with our dog&cat

- Copy of Joint tax return for 2007

- PG&E utility bill in joint names

We do not have a joint bank account as my wife's credit is really bad and we don't want to have jointly bad credit in case we want to buy a house one day.

We have no current lease at our current apartment, it is month to month.

We both have things addressed to the house we live in - for example we adopted a dog and it the paperwork went to me at our address.

I am nervous because everyone else seems to have a lot more evidence. We can answer every question under sun sun about our lives together!!

Thanks!

wedding photos, invites, etc.

a letter from your landlord stating it's a month to month lease but that you both have lived there for however long would be helpful.

good luck!

Oh yes, we have lots of wedding photos, plus photos of me with her family. We got married while I was here on vacation so there are no wedding invites.

if you came here on vacation and got married then i would have a lot more than that..

could easily be looked at as suspicious.. you have nothing to really signify that you are truly married for love.. anyone can take pictures..

our interview is on the 29th of feb and we don't have much evidence too. all we've got are: auto insurance with both our names on it, joint bank account, pictures and correspondence. i feel like we don't have much too so we might ask for affidavit from family and friends. you might wanna try that too. anyway, good luck on your interview and keep us posted!

thanks.

Her father is sponsoring us and I wonder if that will make a difference. How many fathers would join a transatlantic lie?!

In the package we first sent, we already have 2 affidavits from a friend and from my mother-in-law. Hmm, maybe we should gather a few more today!

Also, on our joint tax return the refund is indicated as going to my bank account number.

Pictures are secondary evidence. Of top importance is commingling of assets --- leases, insurance policies (car, home/renters, health, life) in both yuor names or designating each other as beneficiary. Utility bills with both your names or with one name with the same address.

Good luck, L.

I wonder if there is anything else we can apply for today, our interview is tomorrow! We could do with health insurance!

My bank application paperwork indicates that my wife is the only pay-on-death beneficiary on the account.

Oh!! We both have a credit card from the UK on the same account.

It is a Virgin credit card and I requested her as a second cardholder. Unfortunately both our names do not appear on the same card.

...but they do have the same card number!!

So I guess to revise... we have the following:

- Copy of Joint tax return for 2007

- PG&E utility bill in joint names

- Joint credit card from the UK with the statement coming here

- She is listed as "pay on death beneficiary" on my bank account

- Plenty of letters/statements that we have in our sepereate names (at&t in my wife's name, adoption paperwork in mine) that have come to the same address

- Plenty of photos of us kissing/hugging/together with our dog&cat

Starting to look better...

How about your credit card statement?

How about your credit card statement?

No, that just has my name on it. But the 2 cards have the same number.

Grab on some letters from family and friends stating that they know you, know you're married and legit, etc.

It is indeed looking better!!!

good luck!

I had my interview last week, and we didn't have alot of things with both names on it, not even a bank account, it's in my husbands name, they were looking for tax returns, which we had. but I forgot to take current w2's. I took letters and Dr bills with my name on. They did ask for the "story" of how we met and talked with my kids about meeting my husband, I was worried as we didn't have much on paper together, the IO was very nice to us and I was soooooooo happy it was over with our passports stamped. Good Luck! Where are you going for your interview?
