Question Regarding Needing Evidence or Not

[G. Rod 0]

Hello, some of you have been more than helpful to me in our journey, now it seems I'm left wondering something out loud. For our K1 visa process, we had to mail in evidence that we've met in person and such, now that we're trying to get our stuff together for the permanent residence package we're hoping to mail out soon, do we require evidence that we are living in the same household??

I imagine we do, so this is were I'm at a loss since I cannot place my wife on our rent or utility bill because we have a mutual understanding with my brother and pay give him the money that basically takes care of our rent and utilities. Does anyone have any suggestions of other pieces of evidence?

I've thought about making a written statement signed by my brother in which he states how long we've been living in the house we live in and that we pay him for rent and utilities. Would it help if this statement was notarized or does it matter?

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing what you guys and gals suggest.

Drivers license with the same addresses on it? Any insurance cards/bills or invoices, perhaps car or life insurance? Joint bank accounts, with the copies of the statements showing you not only share the finances but also the same address?

This is not needed. The only evidence of marriage you send with the AOS paperwork is a copy of your certified marriage certificate.

If you have an interview then you would take evidence of living together and co-mingling of finances and accounts.

Yes! This helps alot, but:

Really?? That's quite the load-off, hermano. If this is the case, then it appears we're gonna be just fine.

You don't need to mail anything with your application like the K-1. If you have an interview, you present it then.

Now, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to create a new thread for this or not, but I am wondering if when we're filling out the form for the travel document, and we don't have a set date as to when she'll visit her country because we want the travel document for in case of an emergancy or something, what would we put in the "date of traveling" box??

Put Unknown for date and length and tick the box for more than one trip. No explanation statement as to why you need AP is needed either.

Yup, no need to mail any of that evidence with the AOS paperwork. We had an interview, brought a HUGE stack of it, he didn't ask to see a single thing. But we were able to put a few things into our file towards the ROC, that's where he said things like that would be important.

Although, some people get stuff asked for at the AOS interview too, but they must know that you're early in your relationship, etc, they can't expect you to have yet done all of that stuff.

Thank you all so much.

Now, does it matter if we send original copies of her Birth Certificate and Criminal Record , or do they accept copies??

Always send copies of your important documents. Bring the originals with you if you have an interview, in case they ask to see them.
