hi everyone, thanks for reading.

We are getting ready for our AOS interview on 3/26 in sacramento ca. unfortunately, ive been really busy at work and have not put a lot of effort into doing things like adding his name to the utility bills and such. I started calling today only to find out it's too late- nobody can get his name on a bill or produce any kind of printed record before our interview.

I'm wondering how much stuff we need to put together as evidence?

background:

K-1 visa

no kids

married

no RFEs or problems to date

no police record

no previous marriages, visas, entries to US , etc etc

This is what I have as of today:

marriage license

photos of us doing things together

health and dental cards for him- thru my work

his SS card

a bank acct with both our names

bills that show that i am investing in him, ie, a big dental bill (over and above insurance coverage), a big tuition bill for a full load of ESL classes at community college, paid at "nonresident" rate, ie $$$, reciepts for equipment related to our favorite sports and line of work.

this is what i can get fairly easily:

letters from neighbors, friends, family, and businesspeople who know us stating that we are a real married couple

is the following a problem?

my name is the same, ie i didnt change my name

i cant get any utility bills in his name or our names in time

the house and 2 vehicles are in my name only.

he doesnt have a drivers license yet

we had a courthouse ceremony and have not had a big family wedding yet. we had one friend as a witness and our dog.

THANKS for any and all input!!!!!

Most of what you have looks pretty good.

Shared financials weigh in pretty good, but you don't much to show in that area.

I don't think you will have a problem.

to answer your direct questions:

1. no problem

2. not really a problem, would be nice if you could. (or show you are doing so)

3. not a problem

4. not a problem

5. not a problem

ha ha, yes, she looked darling. she wore a bow that matched my belt, and her service dog vest. unfortunately for her there were no boy dogs there to score on the "maid of honor." you know what they say about females at weddings being easy targets! :lol:
