Sorry to bother you guys again, but I have 2 questions that I will appreciate, I try searching on the website but couldn't find it.

Does someone have an example of what should I include in a letter from the landlord to say that we are living together as proof for the interview?(I cant get on the lease because he will have to increase the rent)

For those who applied for a DL or Learner's Permit what do they include as proof of residency?

Thanks for your help

About DL or Larner's Permit, every state has specific requirements. It will be best to check their website. They usually have a list of accepted documents. For me it was passport, EAD, two proofs of address, SS card.

Thank you for your answer, I verify the website and the two proof of address is what I'm having trouble with because I don't have any bills or any of the proof they listed; just the bank account, so I'm missing a second one, wondering if I can use my husbands utility bills statements with a note saying we live together will work?

Hi All,

Our GC application is approved today after 5 minutes of conversation. It was very easy going conversation. Just give some joint documentation like joint bank account statement, joint credit card statement, joint utility bill, joint apartment lease to the officer for reference, thats all. After that, the officer says that GC is approved and I will get that in 2-3 weeks and remind me to apply for removing the condition from GC after 21 months. Thats all.

Review

Background: Did not front load our application with any bona fides, Adjusting from F1, had 3 prior EADs, 1 regular, 1 STEM extension, 1 current during AOS. Got married in Tampa and moved two weeks later to Fort Lauderdale

Location: Oakland Park, FL

Time: 9:45am

Duration: Approx: 10mins

We arrived about 35 mins early, parking was easy. Security was the typical airport sytle. We checked in and was sent to the lobby area to wait on my name to be called. It seemed as if we were the only couple that obeyed the rules and left our cell in the car. At about 9:50am we were called in by a pleasant older white lady and was ushered to her office. She asked us to sit and then asked for our ID's. IO: Why do you have different addresses? Wife answered she hasn't updated her ID as yet.Then she swore us in and started flipping through our file. IO: So how did you guys meet? I answered and my wife added at the end. IO: Which one of you has been married before? We both answered none of us. IO: Did you have a civil or religious ceremony? Both answered civil. IO: Do you have pictures? Both answered yes, and I handed her our 18 photos. She flipped through every last one smiling along. IO: Who is the little girl? Wife answered, that's her oldest child who was the witness to our wedding. IO: Do you have any other proof you are married and living together? Both answered yes, I pulled out our bonafides one by one, stating what each one was and I had yellow sticky notes on each one so she could read what each one was. We had, Joint tax return, joint amended return, joint phone bill, joint credit card, joint prepaid card, affidavit from my family friend that we live with, affidavit from my best friend. She didn't look at a single bonafide. IO: How many kids do you have ma'am? Wife answered 3. IO: Where are they and when last did you see them? Oldest is in college, she came to visit last weekend, the 14 and 7 yr old lives with their dad and I saw them in June and took them to Orlando. IO: How many kids do you have sir and when last did you see them? I answered, 1 son and he lives with his mom in Tampa, he comes and visit occasionally, last time was in June. IO: Do you guys plan on having any kids together? Both answered 1 more but no time soon. IO: Sir what kind of work do you do? I answered IT support but not currently working, but I am doing interviews. IO? Ma'am do you work? Wife answered no I am on social security disability. IO: Do you get your money deposited to a joint account? Wife answered no they mail a check. IO: Which address? Wife answered stating our current address. IO: Ok sir you can take up all that stuff (bonafides), please sign this paper here ma'am, wife signs, sir please sign here, I signed (without reading like an idiot). She then, dont worry this is standard, got up and walked out...At this point I almost pissed myself, she didnt photocopy anything for our file, didnt keep any pictures, didnt ask any yes/no, didnt ask for my I94, I was positive she went to go call the deportation police. She walked back in, sat down and said "Ok sir what you are going to get is called a Conditional blah blah blah blah.........gibberbish gobbly ######....." My heart melted, my fingers tingled, my eyes teared up. She then mentioned signing up for selective service and told us the date we can apply for removal of condidtions. She then said congrats, shook my hand and ushered us out.

OMG..this line had me cracking up...tension is a real killer. We can all laugh now at some of the nerve wrecking thoughts we had...
