Review my evidence purty please? :)

[kyleers 0]

Hi everyone,

Russell and I (the USC) are planning on shipping out the good ol' package to CSC tomorrow and I was going to see if you guys would mind telling me what you think about our List O' Evidence? I'm suspecting it's a little overkill but I just read someone's post last week about how they got RFE'd for no apparent reason and I'd like to avoid that.

The only thing I'm a little worried about is the fact that we don't have any bank records from 2/06-2/07, but we have joint bills and such between that time. I'd really like to avoid going to Wells Fargo if possible because, well, I was so happy to be done with them back in 06! But I will if you think I should. Also, we don't really hang out with very many people outside of work until recently, so my mom and brother did our affadavits. I hope that will be okay too.

Thanks!

Holy cow! I think you've covered everything, and then some!

A few, very minor, details:

* You don't need to include the passport photos (they will take pictures at your biometrics appointment)

* You don't need to include the employment authorization (it's obsolete once you receive the Permanent Resident Card)

I'm sure you have plenty of stuff--and I wouldn't even think twice about the bank account.

Good luck!

Carolyn

P.S. Congrats on the upcoming baby! Like you, we just sent in our paperwork and included ultrasound pics!

Whew, I'm glad to hear that! I figured I'd be overzealous rather than underzealous.

Thanks, and congrats to you too! You're a week and some change ahead of me. I only had ultrasound pictures from the girls and I goofing around at work (I'm an L&D nurse) so I'm looking forward to seeing my "big" US pictures on Monday, but we're not going to find out what we're having. I guess I'd better get my ticker in my sig too!

Thanks again!

[Carolyn 1]

We're not going to find out the sex of our baby either...it will be a wonderful surprise either way!

Good luck on the ultrasound Monday--I am having a Level 2 on the 31st...exciting but a little scary.

Cheers,

Carolyn

Edited to add: did you mean to put bairn or brain in your cute new siggie?

Looks very good - I shouldn't think you will have any problems - joint home ownership, joint car ownership, joint pet ownership and baby 'pictures' - you've hit the big ones (VBG). Congratulations on the 'bairn', and good luck with the Removal of Conditions.

Haha, yes it was supposed to be bairn! It's what some folks in Scotland call babies. Its brain does look pretty big in ultrasound pictures already though.

Great, sounds good! Thank you! I see you've got the joint pet ownership down too.
