Can you double-check my evidence please?

[icefresh 1]

Good morning

We are getting ready to file our I-751 joint petition. My expiration date is the end of October, so my filing window just opened.

Can you double-check our evidence and give us some advice?

I am a little bit nervous since we used to live with my wife's parents for the first 9 months of our marriage. We do not have any leases, utility bills, joint checking account (but a small savings account) or insurance for this time. The only major thing during this time is a car purchase (cash) and car insurance. We were both college students at that time.

For the rest of the 2-yr period we should be fine. We have a joint checking account, life insurance, just bought a house, etc.

Thank you so much!

Your list is extensive and comprehensive. I wouldn't sweat your living arrangements for the first 9 months you were married; your circumstances were what they were at that time and you can clearly account for them.

I would be shocked if you were to receive an RFE after having sent such a list of evidence.

I agree. You have a great list of documents. Should be approved without any problem.

Your question about credit card #: I would not be worried about it. You already gave USCIS all the important information.

Good luck!

If your green card expires in October, I think then your window actually opened back in July...it's 90 days before the expiration of your green card...but filing later is fine...
