I think I have enough evidence!

[Kathryn41 3,205]

My green card expires May 24th so I will be mailing my application to remove conditions next week - making sure I don't file earlier than 90 days. I have a lot of evidence since we have been married nearly 4 years and have been actively collecting for this from the very beginning). Everything is 2 hole punched on an acco fastener with tabbed dividers on the bottom between the sections.

So, my package includes: I-751 petition with additional information on question # 7 (charged and fined for windsurfing without a lifejacket in 1983)

Identification (green card, Driver's License, Military ID)

Tax Documents (transcripts from 2004, 2005, 2006 joint returns, forms to submit with 2007 taxes PLUS documentation for IRS

audit of our 2004 return )

Financial Documents - Joint Accounts (account summaries of 2 joint savings accounts, a joint checking account;

8 financial statements from 2004 to 2008;my IRA with spouse as beneficiary; joint CDs)

AMEX Credit Card joint account - (8 statements from 2004 to 2008; receipt of ladies bike purchased on AMEX points;)

Expenses Paid by Kathryn for home address (includes bills/cheques for drycleaners, comcast installation, garage door

repairs, lawn services, lawn and garden supplies, quotes for and removal of dead pine tree, charitable donations for

2004-2008)

Sprint Phone Family Plan - (4 statements 2005-2007)

Car Ownership (joint loan payments 2004-2008; joint registration 2004-2008; joint insurance statements

2007-2008; Car maintenance paid by Kathryn 2006 - 2008; joint AAA membership cards 2006,2007,2008)

Pension Information (listing each as beneficiaries in both Canadian and American pension plans)

Wills (Last Wills listing each other as beneficiary/executor)

Health Insurance Documents (joint health cards 2004 -2008; enrollment information and benefits summaries;

7 insurance claims 2004-2007; Laboratory invoices. teledrug invoices, MRI invoice 2006-2008)

Cats (receipt from relocating from Canada; correspondence with neighbours about their problem cat attacking ours; 5

microchip enrollment certificates)

Travel Evidence: (photographs of me with Joe's family, Joe with my family, each of us with our grandchildren taken on

Christmas holidays to Texas and Ottawa; flight information and baggage claims for 6 joint flights to Houston; flight

information and baggage claims for 1 joint trip to Ottawa)

Kathryn's Employment (newsletter introduction; tax statements for wages 2006-2007)

Correspondence to both of us (11 letters, cards, envelopes addressed to both of us 2004-2008); 3 letters from

husband's daughter addressed to "Dearest Kathryn" (2004); "Dad and Kathryn" (2006); "Nana Kathryn and Papa Joe"

(2007); information about Gathering of on line friends we hosted 2007 with photos)

Miscellaneous: (change of address, United Van Lines invoice for goods moved; On-line address book listings for us in

neighbourhood Community Association; 3 magazine subscriptions and 4 delivery notices).

Ok - I am not on the mortage or the deed for the house - Joe bought the house before we got together, he has a great 30 year fixed mortgage rate and Georgia is a joint ownership State so no need for extra expense to get name on deed; All of utilities in Joe's name as he pays the accounts on line - I pay the stuff that isn't done on line so more related to one time or special purchases or services for the house. I believe we have more than enough to prove that this is a valid marriage - virtually every document submitted lists both of our names and showing the spousal relationship.

Now just to remember to attach the cheque in the right amount!
