My husband added me on his credit card. I understand that we're not "sharing" the account, but that I do have a credit card with my (married) name on it.

I am wondering if I should photocopy these (while blocking the number of course) and use them as an evidence of commingling.

Well, the most precise answer I can give you is "Asap". We are waiting on my passport to come in (I didn't need one when I came over... but now my picture ID has expired, so I have to order a passport). We are putting things together in the mean time, but yes, it is nerve wrecking.

In all honesty, I probably wouldn't be this scared if it wasn't for the overstay. The risk of a 10 year ban is just heartbreaking. People on VJ have been very kind and positive... but the little paranoid voice in my head screams very loud. :rofl:

From what i've read overstays are usually forgiven in the case of marriage to a USC. I totally sympathise about how nervewreaking this all is...

I'm freaking out like crazy and assuming we get the paperwork off in the next 3 weeks, I won't be in overstay but still worrying what if something goes wrong and the aos gets declined... My husband to be's whole life is in the US he can't move overseas. Will be relieved when this is all over...

Good luck, I really hope everything works out for you :innocent: and everyone else on here...

That is what many VJers have said, about overstays (and illegal work) being forgiven once the AoS is approved. The one thing that is really frustration is that I don't know USCIS's... state of mind? Mayne people around here have said that all UCIS cares about is proving that your marriage is real. But I still worry. What if they have issues with something besides marriage? What if I didn't bring enough proof. And so on and so forth. :blush:

Good luck to you as well.
