Evidence documentation.....

Regarding the notion of "photocopies of unaltered documents" and elsewhere the recommendation to black out personal details in letters and emails....

what have those who submitted copies of credit card statements done with protecting your account numbers, and details that have nothing to do with the petition documentation? That is, have you blacked out or covered up non-pertinent data?

brucejg,

It is perfectly acceptable to black out personal details in E-mails and letters.

I did not black out account numbers on banking or credit card statements. This is a personal choice.

Of course you should black out your account numbers. Just make sure your name and address show. If you are concerned about this, attached a letter of explanation. But, if you have travel reservations, plane tickets, hotel reservations or receipts these are also acceptable documentations. I even had tickets from busses in my wife's country. The idea is to prove that you have been to the country in question during the time you said you were there. Remember, the USCIS is trying to determine that the two of you have met and that this is indeed a marriage of love and commitment.

I will tell you that the USCIS accepted photos of my wife with my daughter and granddaughter as evidence of our marriage and issued her a green card. At that time we did not have any evidence of joint ownership or anything else. Mostly that was because we couldn't get a social security number without a green card. That is another can of worms that we all must open sooner or later.

The receipts we gave were already marked similar to this:

xxxxxxxxxxxx1234

so we found no need to block out any of the Visa or M/C numbers.

Even if we had given in full credit card or bank statements though, I don't think we would have blocked them out.

I've blacked out parts of our letters and e-mails.
