How do people get joint utility bills filing for cr1? All I have when we file so far is plane tickets (&boarding passes), stamps in passport, pictures together on our trips .. pics with his family, phone bills showing we talk hours a day. He's going to add me to his car insurance too (can he do that with me living in another country?)

Edited to add: oh, were going to go to his nearest branch and add me to his account, and I also already added him to my visa account as an authorized buyer

I called my utility companys when I changed my name to my married name, and they also put his name on the utitlity bills.

But keep in mind, Ive had a account with these companies for years and years.

I tired to put my husband on my auto policy, but since he dont have a U.S. license and that he is not here, they refused, oh well.

Hmm, guess he is gonna have trouble adding me to his then with a Canadian license

I wonder if they are going to accept it as proof, that I have him as an authroized user on my visa account too

Does he have his own visa card from your credit card company? A copy of that would be great.

That is what I forgot, we have a joint Master Card, need to include that also before I forget. Thank you!!

Yeah they issued a card in his name as well...

Good, photo copy it and send USCIS a copy, also enclose the Visa statement of all of his purchases with his card that he made.

That shows proof, and trust.

Looks good but don't attach the picture bags to the G325a. They get attached to blank sheets of paper. Putting those sheets under or behind the respective G325a forms is logical but they support the petition itself, not the G325a.

One other thing we did for evidence to show I was there for honeymoon, we purchased on 2 seprate dates a French newspaper, signed the top of the papers and posed for pictures showing us and the papers date. We kept the papers for evidence if they ask for it. Felt like we we doing the ramsom thing you see in movies, lol. Also kept all receipts of purchases in France and printed out bank statement showing all purchases our cards made while there for honeymoon. Not sure how else to prove we were together for honeymoon for those 5 incredible days.
