I-751 RFE

[Nyosh 5]

Hey guys, im a November filer and I got an RFE.

They are asking for the following

- Birth certificate of any children, adoption decree, school reports, medical records for step children - (We do not have any children yet)

- A will, trust or a power of attorney for health care or property or both. (Is it a good idea to get one of these right now?)

- Joint installments, loans or credit card statements - (We do not have this)

- Joint utility bills - (we only have one bill in both our names and I sent it)

- Affidavits from family and friends (Can get these but do they have to be notarized?)

- Lease showing joint occupancy - (We don't have a lease. We live in a house provided for by our employer and he pays all the utility bills. Can I get a letter from my boss explaining this and also an affidavit from him)

- Deeds and mortgage -(we don't have this too)

I submitted:-

Tax returns 2010, 2011 and transcripts

Bank statements

Car titles

Auto insurance cards and bills in both our names

Vehicle purchase agreement in both names

Payroll statements in both names

Copies of receipts showing our names

Copies of checks with both our names

Several photos

Guys, what else can I send. I need help here. Thanks.

Is your wife a named beneficiary on any employment documents? Like retirement?

You should get a life insurance - term life insurance is cheap. Name each other as beneficiary.

Make a will. You need 2 witnesses, best if you use a notary.

Get the letter from your boss about your living arrangement, I suspect this is what set off the red flags to USCIS.

Hey, thanks.

We work as self employed and don't have any documents naming each other as beneficiary.

We don't have life insurance either. I can get a will and im working on that. I suspected that redflag too, im working on it and will have a letter from my boss explaining everything. Thanks.

Do affidavits from friends have to be notarized?

I am convinced the part of what drives RFEs are the beneficiaries national origins. But that's just me.

I would add:

• Bank statements from several months
• Utility bills from several months. Depending on the utility company, both names may not appear on the bill. Only my husbands name appears on the utility bill and only mine shows up on the gas bill. But I submitted them all
• Letters from two people that know you. Its nice if they are notorized
• auto insurance summary pages from several periods
• Phone bills

I submitted something from literary every month me and my husband were married. Some periods I covered with the gas bill, some utility bills, some car insurance policy statement

Don't worry, RFEs are pretty common. My goal was to mail a thick packet. You will be fine

You think Canada would drive a RFE?

I got an RFE and I am from Germany.

Thanks Shelly11. Im planning on sending the following:-

Tax transcript for 2012

Bank statements for another one of our joint accounts

Some affidavits from friends

Some bills one with both names and the others without both names

A letter from my boss explaining why we don't have a lease and that he is the one who pays the utility bills.

Insurance policy showing the beneficiary

That's all I can get for now. Just wondering if its necessary to get a Power of Attorney right now.

What Power of Attorney has to do with this?

What Power of Attorney has to do with this?

Power of Attorney is akin to signing your life away to another person, so, maybe, it can be viewed as "trust" in marriage.

It's a useful thing, when it's needed, but to me, it's sort of pointless between a husband and wife. (I, for example, have power of attorney for both of my parents, so to me, that's different).

That makes sense, but it wont apply in removing your conditions.

I was asked to provide that evidence in my RFE. Either a durable power of attorney for health or property or both, Will, or Trust.

[caly 48]

That makes sense, but it wont apply in removing your conditions.

Evidence of estate, health and financial planning is considered by USCIS as evidence showing a good faith marriage. Such documents include, wills, trusts or a durable power of attorney for health care or property or both.

Can someone explain to me what is: durable power of attorney for health care or property or both

?

So that if you become a vegetable your wife can pull a plug and collect your life insurance money

Yet, she can do that without the power of attorney anyway (based on the given state's laws).
