Ok, Ive bitten the bullet

Woah that's a lot of tree.

I'd go a long with what the other peeps have said - if it makes you happier and more content then send it on.

I think my husband and I will just stick with the regular tax returns, copy of the rent agreement, couple of bills, joint bank account evidence and beneficiary stuff. Shouldn't be very much. They never read through all of it anyway...not enough time.

They are basically looking to see that you have a life together - that you live in the same place and do normal everyday things like pay the bills together and that other people in your life recognise that you are both married.

Jodee I also think you have an awful lot to send, we just sent everything they asked for specifically and a few other bills and things. We had no problem at all, so you may want to slightly trim your package.

Send it USPS return receipted mail.

We have yet to bite the bullet once we locate the black hole in our apt. I think I'm taking the day off tomorrow to do just that.

GOOD luck with it Mecca,...

And BobKatz,....

Mine is sent, received, and I have the I-797c saying I've been extended another year etc etc, already. I had a lot more to prove than others,. 1. We moved Overseas a month after marrying. 2. I have no residency stateside except for that one month, and 3. We dont have lease agreements, or a mortgage, or a host if utilities bills to fall back on like many others stateside, so I compensated in other ways. That and the fact, that my hubby deployed a month after we got overseas, made it harder to prove co- habitation, and other things. He was gone for 12 months outta of the 21 months we had to prove a life together......

If you read up the list, my list of items was not that extreme. But, in the end, I was comfortable with what I sent...

Cheers,....Jodee
