PHONE BILL AS EVIDENCE

[DanielleB 5]

I just printed out all my bills for the past 6 months. What I failed to remember is that when I was deployed in Afghanistan I put my mothers name on the account just in case something happened she would be able to take care of it for me. My bill is in my name but when I printed them out online I noticed that on the top of every pages ( 100's of pages) it says summary for ( had my mothers name) I called the phone company and they took her name off and said there was no way to change past bills because they have already been "printed". Should I just leave it as is and just attach a paper explaining why my mothers name is on the top of every page or should I mark through her name with a sharpie. So, there is no confusion,or will they wonder what I sharpied through? Im going to go to the phone company today anyways to see if they can give me a "offical paper" stating my name and that im the account holder for this number. What do you guys think? Should this cause a problem? Thanks -Dani

You can always attach a letter stating the reason for her name at the top.

If it were to cause an issue would probably depend on the individual adjudicating your package. Most certainly the more proof of relationship, the better.

I would just send it, and if there is an issue they will just mail you an RFE (request for [more] Evidence).

The bolded sentence above is true, but for the consular stage. USCIS, conversely, will not care about this front-loaded evidence of bona fide relationship.

Phone bills are not needed for the petition. Use it for the visa application/interview.

names on the account will not matter. We used a calling card that keeps records and there is no name associated with it, only phone numbers.

Dont do that because then they will probably say since you can add and take things out from the bill then you probably add the number.
