How's this for evidence? (no kids, no property)

[AmyWrites 593]

Sending this after Jan 18, about ten days after the 90 day window commences;

- affidavits from parents stating we live with them

- joint bank account(s), showing he's been paying my medical bills

- joint lease of our time in Arlington, VA

- pictures of us

- pictures of when his father came over to visit

- thinking of getting affidavits from friends saying they know us

- documents showing we went on a vacation together

- taxes filed jointly

Kind of stuck on what else to add?

Did you check other similar posts? Just go back a few pages. You'll find lots of info on evidence you can include.

[AmyWrites 593]

I have. Don't really have much else "big" like insurance or the like. It's mostly pictures, affidavits, taxes, etc.

How about junk mail in either / both your names that are sent to the same address? Magazines even.

We do have all of our mail (important and non-important) and other docs (driver's licenses), showing the same address... that counts?

Wouldn't running out and getting life insurance or a 401(K) now (he finally is making a stable income) look bad?

[Merrytooth 5,748]

If he finally has a stable job and contributing regularly to 401K now, I don't see any harm in throwing that in as part of your bona fide marriage evidence.

[victorian221b 12]

Not when you get it before you submit your evidence. As long as you have plenty of other evidences spanning your entire marriage (and conditional GC period) it doesn't matter when you start what. However, it's another thing when you submit evidences that were started/established a few months before your ROC - that will look fishy.

Good luck!

We have:

sworn affidavits

bank statements (4 scattered throughout the past 2 years)

pictures of us together, him with my kids, all of us on vacation and at various functions throughout the past 2 years

cards

screen shots of Facebook on our anniversary with posts and stuff from people

Colin listed as my beneficiary on my work disability insurance

copy of a bill from the veterinarian with both our names (2 from several months apart)

Health insurance statement with both our names - this years and last years

car insurance cards and statements

We don't file joint taxes because I own a business and do my business tax separately

We don't have a lease or mortgage because we live in my parents second home

Utilities are in my name because I set them up before he even moved here

Hopefully it will be enough. Worst case scenario, we have to go to court. When they see an emotional sobbing mess of a woman terrified to lose her husband, they will see that we are really married.

I keep saying that they just need to come over for dinner one night - there would be no doubt in their minds then

Include more statements throughout the 2 years. Why give them reason to delay/deny your application due to little evidence?

No taxes. Explain in a cover letter.

No mortgage. Ditto.

No joint credit cards. You know the drill.

You have just a bit to show the co-mingling of funds and some superficial evidence. Beef it up and you should be fine. Good luck!

Thank you very much! I totally forgot about the cell phone bill too!

I really appreciate your help. I loaded about 11 bank statements, a few more vet bills, cell phone bills, car insurance bills, etc.

I'm also going to get a copy of my emergency form from work.

It's been a couple of years since I've been here, I forgot how helpful everyone is.

thank you... I really appreciate your help

You can really explain these things in the cover letter? That's a relief.
