Read the Guides and instructions for the I-751.

No need financial info. You mainly have to prove you have a bonafide marriage.

What? Proof of financial mingling is one of the best proofs.

It would either be denied outright or you would receive an RFE (Request for Evidence) asking you to submit proof of the validity of your marriage. If you are very lucky they will return the whole thing to you as 'incomplete' and not cash the money order at which time you should complete the application following the instructions and send it back.

This is the one time when you shouldn't be cavalier about USCIS's role in your life. You are required to prove to them that your marriage is valid. Married people mingle their lives together personally, socially and almost always financially. They present themselves to the world as a married couple sharing a life. They share assets and they share liabilities. You need to provide proof of these shared assets and liabilities to USCIS. You need to provide evidence of your shared life that covers the whole time of your marriage. This requirement is listed in the instructions so if you haven't provided it, you haven't read the instructions as well as you should have.

This is right from the instruction sheet for filling out the I-751: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-751instr.pdf

Evidence of the Relationship

Submit copies of documents indicating that the marriage upon which you were granted conditional status was entered in ''good faith'' and was not for the purpose of circumventing immigration laws. Submit copies of as many documents as you wish to establish this fact and to demonstrate the circumstances of the relationship from the date of the marriage to the present date, and to demonstrate any circumstances surrounding the end of the relationship, if it has ended. The documents should cover, but not limited to,the following examples:

1. Birth certificate(s) of child(ren) born to the marriage.

2. Lease or mortgage contracts showing joint occupancy and/or ownership of your communal residence.

3. Financial records showing joint ownership of assets and joint responsibility for liabilities, such as joint savings and checking accounts, joint federal and state tax returns, insurance policies that show the other spouse as the beneficiary, joint utility bills, joint installments or other loans.

4. Other documents you consider relevant to establish that your marriage was not entered into in order to evade the U.S. immigration laws

5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by at least two people who have known both of you since your conditional residence was granted and have personal knowledge of your marriage and relationship. (Such persons may be required to testify before an immigration officer as to the information contained in the affidavit.) The original affidavit must be submitted and also contain the following information regarding the person making the affidavit: his or her full name and address; date and place of birth; relationship to you or your spouse, if any; and full information and complete details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge. Affidavits must be supported by other types of evidence listed above.

You need to read over the rest of the instructions because there are other things you also need to provide (ie. copy of green card, evidence of criminal or court records, if applicable, etc.)

I'm referring to showing how much you earn.

Proof of comingling of assets and having joint accounts is a plus but not a requirement.

More ammo the better tho.

Looks like you're going to find out!

Why would you think USCIS will make our lives that easy

You will need to show them proof that the marriage is still going strong 2 years after they gave you the conditional card. That is thier way of weeding out the fraudulent marriages. It is somewhat difficult to maintain a sham marriage when it comes to finance so you need to get all your bank and credit card statements together and send about 6 from the past years. 1 from every 4 months after you got your card should be enough for the financial aspect of the list.

USCIS has instructions to go along with the form on their site - you must have read them to know the fee and where to mail it.

No matter - as noted above you'll get an rfe or a rjection depending on what they need. What's done is done Nickles.

For anyone new- read the guide and read their own instructions- just like you have for any other step in the process I hope.
