AOS Interview question...

[chiggins 0]

Hi all,

So our AOS interview is coming up in about a months time, but I have a question about the evidence we need to bring with us. To cut a long story short, my wife and I still live with her parents as she is a university student and my EAD renewal got denied because they thought our AOS was also denied, so basically I haven't been working for a few months. Now, my wife's university is in Grand Rapids, MI, about 150 miles away from where we live, so for 4 days during the week we stay with her grandparents in Grand Rapids, then we commute back at the weekend. Now here's the problem: For a while last year, while my previous EAD was valid, I was able to get temporary work in GR. When filing taxes this year, we are still using her parents address, however my W-2 was sent to her grandparents house and has their address on it. Also, for the sake of convenience we opened our bank account in Grand Rapids under her grandparents address.

Now, I KNOW how that will look to the interviewing officer, if we show up with bank statements under a different address to what they have (even thought it has both our names on it). We do have a copy of this years joint tax return with our address on it, as well as statements from a savings account we have (with no money in it lol), and a few "unofficial" letters from various people. But like I said, our main account and even our car insurance is all under her grandparents address. Does anyone have any ideas as to what we might be able to do? One thing I thought of was to possibly have her grandparents write something saying that we stay there only on a temporary basis.

Thanks in advance.

IMHO as long as it doesn't look like your wife lives in one city and you live in another 150 miles away, you will be OK.

Can't hurt to have mom and dad write a letter and grandma and grandpa write another one. Have them notarized. You can present them if you get questions in that direction.
