Our Evidence

[javatggg 0]

Hi All,

I have listed evidence that my immigrant wife and I have gathered for Removal of Conditions. I have read thru some post and it looks farily average compared to some...maybe just being overly paranoid. I apprciate any feedback about the quality of our evidence. The house was/is in my name, as I owned it when we got married; does that matter? At some point, I plan on possibly re-fiancing and can add her name at that point. Anyway, appreciate any feedback on my evidence. Is it enough? Should anything be taken off? i.e. the pet adoption or wash machine warranty info? Wasn't sure about that. Also, we don't have any credit cards in BOTH names yet. I hate credit cards and try to shy away from them, but we do have our joint bank account listed. Thanks for taking the time to read and good luck to all!

From what I can see, you shouldn't be worried.. there are people who got approved with less proof

As for the warranty info and pet adoption forms, I think those will be considered secondary evidence, but still evidence. Other than that, I think it is about the same as what we send to them. No worries about the house, there are many people who have the same. My wife, for example, owns a few houses but none of them are in my name (as per her mothers wish (and honestly, I don't care lol)). There are no mortgages so we cannot show that either.

Here's a list of the stuff we send in, so you can compare a bit:

- Registration of verbal court order in Dutch and sworn English translation and a supplement/explanation regarding what happened back then

- An clarification regarding part 5 (children)

- Copies of green card and passports

- Copy birth certificate of our daughter

- partial copies of our joint 2008 and 2009 tax returns (2 pages federal, 1 page state per return)

- Life insurance showing me as beneficiary

- A partial bank statement

- Insurance papers for our cars

- Copies of our car registrations showing joint ownerships

- Car lease agreement for one and a car sales/finance agreement for the other car

- My general excise tax license showing our address

- Copies of our driver licenses also for address verification

- Copy of health and dental insurance stuff

- Copies of airline boarding passes

- And a couple of pictures

As you can see, it's about the same as you send in and, to be honest, I'm not worried at all.. and even in the rare case they need more proof (which I doubt), I'll probably have the 2010 tax return ready (it's ready, just waiting for 1 single page to become available) and I'm sure there's more stuff we can produce if necessary. You know, as long as they received it on time and gave us the NOA1 on time so we get that one year extension (so I can keep traveling out of the country), then I'm not too worried about the outcome. Even if they send in an RFE, and even if it takes them about a year, it's ok, as long as we get approved in the end (that doesn't mean, of course, that I don't have that bit of healthy excitement going through me now that I am waiting ).

Your list looks good. I would also include a cover letter explaining that the house is in your name only as it was purchased prior to your marriage. This is what we are doing.

javatggg,

about your joint AT&T cellphone bill, we have been trying to get them to add my name to the account bill but they said they couldn't. My name is on there as part of the family plan but that's it. The bill is still in my husband's name. I am wondering how and what to tell AT&T to get them to add me. Any advice? Thanks!

@abbielovesjeremy, I wouldn't look too much to the telephone bill as proof.. problem with it is that it hardly proves anything (it's also considered secondary proof, without other proof it's basically nothing). For example, my mother-in-law has a family plan with a few of her friends while her friends live in complete different places than my mother-in-law. Kinda shows how easy it is to have someone added on a family plan, and also shows how little proof it basically is towards the USCIS as they most likely know that kind of stuff as well.

Thanks Jereon and OBX for your insight and encouragement. Abbie, sorry, if I wasn't quite clear. Our phone bill, isn't quite a joint account; however, it does have both of our names on the mailing address. I would try that. I agree with Jereon that, the phone bill is more secondary evidence, by the way, but still good evidence.

Oh! Thanks for the input guys. I'm trying to prepare our evidence early so we don't cram lol I will need to file ROC around December. Thanks again.
