How important are papers?

[tobetogether 0]

Hi guys!

I usually just read topics on the forum-my internet connection gets bad every time i try to send sth, hopefully it's going to be fixed soon ...anyways- i've been married for 5 months, got my EAC and everything seems to go fine except this that i'm concern about getting proofs of our live together since our interview is getting closer and closer, while my husband says that i'm paranoid and we're going to be fine...well we don't have rental agreement for the house where we live(we would have to pay big deposit to get it and now we just pay month to month, all i have are money orders with our names), no insurance together...i don't really know what papers we should start thinking of to have for the interview??? right now we just live happily but i feel like i should start being the responsible one! please let me know what is important and what should we have ready for interview, i'll appreciate any suggestions!

Some ideas for proof of ongoing relationship and shared domicile:

--joint bank accounts, investments, etc

--pictures of wedding (I wouldn't take the whole album, but a sample)

--pictures since you have been married, especially ones with family & friends (again, a sample of times and places)

--copy of wills, life insurance, or anything that shows that you are each other's beneficiary

--have you had anything mailed to you in both your names? mail from fam/friends, bills, etc?

--copies of any registration in any clubs/church/library, etc

--health insurance (usually both are listed)

--notarized letters from friends attesting to your relationship

--can you get a letter from the people you are renting from stating that you are renting from them?

just some ideas If you do a search, there are some threads detailing lots of suggestions.

Thanks Cassie!

I do have pics, we have cellphone agreement together, bills and bank account we gonna start do together as soon as i start working(hopefully next week ) cause for now we both have separate bank accounts and we want to keep it this way and add one we can share. The problem is health insurance- we wanna move soon so there's no point in adding me to his at work if he's going to change his job soon and it takes 3 months before it starts working. And house owners- if we ask them for the letter they gonna want us to sign new agreement and pay the deposit. For now they don't really care who lives there as long as we pay and i keep all money orders copies...maybe that's enough? Still have lots of time so i figure sth out and look for more here!

Take care!
