Look good, except they will want to see a complete tax return copy, not just the 1040. Otherwise, very nice.

Consider getting tax transcripts - this proves that IRS has received your tax return. It's free to get and doesn't usually take long to arrive.

Also has any of you been to the doctor already? If you are covered in each other's insurance, you should be able to get a copy of the claims processed under both names under the same insurance plan. And throw in the HIPAA release forms - I assume you would list each other down for medical record release authorization.

Otherwise, your evidence look pretty solid

Our Health Insurance is through Tricare Prime for Retirees. Unfortunately I didn't need to go to see any doctors, I am a pretty healty girl. Is that bad lol???

You have more than good evidence - don't overload any further.

Yes, if possible get IRS Tax Transcripts (can get in a week) - those are better than your complete tax returns.

[victorian221b 12]

That is fine if you don't have it

More evidence is better than no evidence but if you don't have it, then you don't have it

I was able to add my husband and my step kids to my work life insurance and other insurance plans as beneficiaries.

I have listed my step kids as each 20% and my husband as 60%. Does that sound good or should I just have my husband only in there?

I care for my step kids this is why I think they should be listed in there. My step kids are living with us.

I think it's fine, but that's just my opinion. I say that because your step kids are also your family from your husband and I see it as one of the same but others may not agree (whether they are adult kids vs younger kids who still need guardianship).

Personally,I think your evidences look really good so the beneficiary stuff will probably be secondary and shouldn't be a cause for concern

I think you have more than enough. I had way less than you(I had IRS transcripts though) and thankfully went through the removal of conditions with no hitch.

Good luck!

The only thing I would add is make sure your statements cover the entirety of the last two years, hopefully you even have stuff from late 2011. The one common RFE seems to be people who have lots of evidence but only send the last statements from right before hey filed. They want to see evidence covering the last two years, something like quarterly is usually good enough, it does not have to be monthly.

Yeah that's the only issue that we do have. We don't have any 2011, since I still had my German Bank Account in Germany.

We got married 11/03/2011 ~ Happy Anniversary to us and PCS' ed to the US in Feb. 2012. We opened the Bank Account in March 2012 and closed it out in October 2012 and then we opened the new one.

I do only have like one or two letter or statements from the old account and everything else from the new.

It will be o.k. I guess.

Do I need to add a passport picture?

PCS= Permanent Change of Station? So you are military? Military tend to have a much easier time.

The first rule is send what you have. And one piece of evidence does not have to cover the entire two years but you should have evidence that covers the entire two years. In other words, if your bank statements don't cover late 2011, early 2012. Does something else? Do you have your dependent military ID's issued right after you are married. Do you have your orders form your PCS?

Your evidence as originally listed is pretty solid. Send what you have. The fact that the military recognizes your marriage means the USCIS will likely as well.
