That was a piece of cake, I spent hours putting together this beautiful binder full of evidence, and all she wanted to see were some pictures.

The whole interview took about 10 minutes.

So excited!!!! Thanks everybody for all your help, this community has been a great help, and will remain a great help till I become a USC

THANK YOU ALL!!

Congratulations to you Were your adjusting from B1/B2 or F1 visa? I am adjusting from B2 visa, and I expect my interview to be in the next one month or so! How long have you guys married for, and what proofs did you carry? I am anxious to know!! Can you give a brief account of your interview, please?! Thank you - and very happy for you guys.

Edit : Oh, i just saw your signature - you guys got married a week before we did Our case is so similar, and I'd definitely want to know more about the proofs you gathered! Its such less time for intermingling of financials..

Well I wrote a review here: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/view-dos-cis-reviews.php?entry=6647

As far as proof goes (and she didn't look at any of it except pictures)

Both her and I had checking accounts with two different banks, so we just signed each other up as joint owners. The bank will have you sign this "Change of Relationship" form, we just included that. And then bank statements for a couple of months with both of our names on the address field (and I think this works retroactively, so if you sign a joint owner up now, there name will still show up on previous statements). All of them printed out online (who gets official bills in snail mail these days anyway?). Also, if you have time, you can call the 1800 number on the back of your debit card and ask them to send you a letter for immigration purposes that establishes joint ownership (costs $10) and it will be on nice letterhead with an official looking signature (we didn't have this).

Also, since I wasn't working I wasn't able to make my car payments for a couple of months. So we printed out the statements from Honda and highlighted the payment made with her account (as to say that she pays for my bills).

Copy of the lease agreement.

We managed to get her on the Cox bill (cable Internet), one of the few official bills I receive (can't seem to turn paperless on).

We have joint car insurance (and if you haven't done this already, you will save quite a bit of money just for being married). So we got a print out of that.

We included: Wedding invitation, wedding program, and thank you card.

Go to your cell phone provider, print out a couple months worth of bills, and highlight all the calls you made to each other (very tedious work in our case).

Office Max sells these three hole binder sheets that are meant for business cards, but instead I put all her credit cards on the left and mine on the right (matching them by account number). If you haven't done so already, go on your credit card account and add each other as authorized users. If you both have good credit and aren't using too much credit this will also be a great way to boost your credit score. And on top of it all you will get a duplicate card with the other's name on it, and with the same account number (more commingling of finances).

Let's see....

Well the pictures of course, we tried to get a quite and dirty overview of our relationship, so at least a picture from every month since we have been together.

This filled up a 2" binder no problem, but all pages were inside sheet protectors, so those made it quite a but thicker. I will admit this is probably way overkill, but I really wasn't in the mood for having to provide more evidence.

Edit: I believe (water-cooler talk around here) that USCIS knows that 2-3 months isn't too much time to intermingle finances, so they don't focus on it all too much. I hear that this is more important during your removal of conditions.
