Proof for 221(g)

[jenkatx 52]

We received a 221(g)which requests, 1. Petitioner's previous living arrangements with ex-husbands, and or boyfriends since 2001 2. Explanation of finances behind trips (4) to visit my fiance. We have now been rescheduled to bring in the proof. As far as my past living arrangements, I have my divorce decree and my ex-husband lives in another state. I did live with my ex-boyfriend until about a year before I meet my fiance. The house I own is in both of our names, as we bought it when we were engaged & I kept it to raise our kids in. He is now living about an hour away with is fiance. I have had no luck getting his name off the deed. I do have a letter from him stating that we have not lived together for many years and that is is living with his fiance in another town. What other proof should I provide? Maybe letters from the neighbors(embarrassing)?

Now on to the more complicated part. I am a college student & am also self employed. I have a co-sponsor (my Mom). My parents have helped pay for a lot of our travel expenses and I have a notarized letter from my Mom stating that. His parents have helped as well, especially when I went back for his Granddads burial. Someone had mentioned that I should downplay his families help as it could be seen that they are buying me. He already told the CO during the interview it is both of our families. In my explanation letter I broke down exactly what was paid by his family, to the best of my recollection. What should we do about this? Also, I used some financial aid/ scholarship funds to finance a small portion of 2 of those trips, as I did some research for my thesis while I was there (International Biz major). Should I include that information as well? Maybe send in my financial aid paperwork and/or a letter from my Advisor stating that it was legit that I used those funds for that purpose? I am worried they will then think I was not truly there to visit him, which was the primary reason for the trips. I feel very strongly that we should be 100% honest about everything. I am just worried how they will view it, as this is Lagos we are dealing with!

Lastly, should I go to his interview? I would like to to provide moral support & my family has offered to help us again. The CO stated he is convinced we have a bona-fide relationship, but I am worried none the less. Again, this is Lagos...I fell that my Fiance would feel a lot better if I am there. But since they are already questioning our finances maybe this will cause further damage? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Just for record.if your beneficiary family should ve helped u financially.it shldnt be cost of your flight or upkeen in the states.

Its understandable to say the aid was during ur stay here and not money u had to take back.Lagos CO can be deceitful to give u a reliefing belief,but a notable error/inappropriate can be the stand for DENIAL.

Already,your finance is bn queried,u shld know u wnt b inside the embassy with him and that still ups anoda red flag.

Stay + and i believe ur fiancee providin the docs will see him thru.
