Just started my process.

Hi Everyone! I just came across this forum while searching for answers to questions about my change of status...couldn't help but join and start my own topic because like everyone here,i have a story too! I came here on F1 visa that expired couple of months ago but i got married in January and i just started the process of changing my status. It took long because i had to save up for the process and also for attorney fees because i had to work to survive. We have submitted all documents required by my attorney and we have an appointment next week to come in and sign before he sends it USCIS.

Here are my questions- i and my wife lived together for sometime before we go married and we both have our names on our old lease agreement.

We don't live there anymore and i would like to know if this document can be used as a valid proof of our union.

We both have a beautiful daughter and both of our names are on the birth certificate,is this document useful?

My wife use to drive an old car of mine and thus had her name added on an expired car insurance before we got married-is this useful?

We are both authorized users on her parents business membership at Sams club,if i get a document that verifies this,will it help?

We don't have a joint bank account yet,can i just add her name on to my account?Is it late to do that?

Does it matter when we both get on a family plan? Do they look at dates or just want to see our names together?

I know i hired an attorney but experience is the best teacher and i would love to hear from everyone who has been successful or patiently waiting on a good news.

Go ahead and use everything you have got. The more the better. It would be good to add her now to the bank account. They like to see financial co-mingling. Also, maybe have a few friends or family write a letter attesting to their knowledge of your relationship.
