evidence for the I-751- from when?

[stillwaiting! 0]

Hi, I have been reading various posts on here, and I understand that we need to show evidence of our ongoing relationship from the time we got married, not when we received the green card. However, it took a year for me to get my green card, during which time I lived in the UK and my husband lived in the states, so we dont really have any joint statements, rental agreements or anything like that from that year. Is this going to be a problem?

ALSO!! Do you need to send in copied of passport and birth certificate? I cant see where it says that on the instructions, but I see some people on here send it in anyway.

Thanks for your help!!

They are looking for commingled finances and evidence of a normal life together - for example a joint bank account, credit card, utility bill in both names, phone, etc. tax returns especially (filed jointly), from as far back as you have them. I recall we sent copies of our driver’s licenses’ since they are both show the same address. You can use medical cards, other insurance etc. If the instructions don’t ask for a birth certification and passport it’s not needed. If your financial evidence is weak you may want to send affidavits and photos. GOOD LUCK !!!!!

Include everything that you may have that shows both of your names. If lived separately, then include a personal affidavit explaining the situation and how its going to change. Also, since you lack some documents you can request your relatives, friends, co-workers, etc to prepare a sworn affidavits explaining how they know you both and witnessed the marriage.

I started with the date he got his green card and included every freakin' thing I could find that showed we were living together.
