Request for Evidence... Quick Question... HELP!

[raindrop 0]

Hi all!

I just have a quick question. We've gathered all our financial papers together. Do they need to see the actual amounts or is it ok to black them out? For example, if something was $123.54, i blacked out the $123. So all they see is the .54.

I did this with everything. Even our lease. Eek! Worried!!

Thanks!!!

I'm sure they need to have unaltered financial documents. Alterations will just raise eyebrows in the processing. Anyway, privacy laws prevent them from sharing the details of your financials.

Shoot! Now I've got to rescan everything. I didn't think we had to be this personal. :-/

Another question... do I need to send all the paperwork I already sent in? Copy of GC, etc...

No

No, you don't need to repeat everything you sent in already. Send new stuff that covers the time of the marriage since you sent the first application to now. Also make sure you have evidence that covers the whole time of your marriage; for example, if you only sent in one bank statement, fill in the blanks by sending several from each year. I don't think it will matter too much if you blank out the value amounts - they aren't looking at how much you spend or have, just that you are each using the account. In fact, if something like your mortgage payment comes out of a joint account you might want to leave the amount showing so they see you both have a financial commitment for that amount. Some people have blanked out account numbers as well. I did get a chuckle out of your comment about not expecting them to get that personal - they are so in your face personal about everything up until now that I wouldn't expect anything different at this stage of the game.

Good luck with your RFE and a quick approval.

Thanks for the replies!

I don't want to give myself extra work, but like the Old Dominion said, it may raise eyebrows as to why we did it and I'd rather be safe then sorry. Ugh! What a pain!!
