Evidence list (split topic)

[arnaudgf 1]

Good morning,

Here are the documentation we have right now:

- House deeds with both our names

- car insurance with both our names

- copy of our driver's licences with same addresses

- copy of debit/credit cards with the same number but one for each name (at least three cards)

- copy of a check with both our names

- health insurance cards with the same policy number but one for each name

- Tax transcript for 2012 (filed jointly), I can add the tax return (filed jointly) from 2011 too (I still haven't received the transcript)

- Pictures from vacations together

- Plane tickets reservation for past and future vacations

I'm not sure what else to add. The bank statement are only at her names since she was the one who opened the account way back when. Maybe I can ask the bank for a letter stating it is now a joint account (we already have copies of the debit cards and check with our names).

I feel like we have solid financial evidence and proof that we live together. But I want to make sure we have all we need

Thanks a lot

Hello!

Overall, you've got the main things but there a few things I will still consider throwing in. I will definitely add is regarding your financial statements. You mentioned that is is now a joint account do you think you will be able to print out statements since the time it is joint? And yes also include the bank letter as well. USCIS may want to see you are actively using your accounts. Only showing credit/debit cards and no activity may not prove that you are actually co-mingle financial - ie. USCIS may think you only got the cards but not really using them. You also noted that you have checks in both names, how about showing the checks actually being used to pay for something like bills etc.

Regarding the tax transcript, include 2011 as well. If you can wait to submit until you receive your 2011 transcript it will probably be better than submitting an entire return - less papers, but that's entirely up to you. I've seen a few people who only submitted one year of tax return information receiving RFEs to submit a second tax return.

And a few other items I think you can add if you have any: Do you have utility bills in both names? Any health insurance claims already made? Also any pay checks to the same address?

Good luck!

I will wait until I get the 2011 tax transcript. I will also add bills with our address on it (none with both our name though since we don't have any this way).

I have a few medical bills with our address too.

I printed some bank statements that show both our payroll transfers going to the account and plenty of activities.
