Craft wills, medical powers of attorney, and similar documents. These are even more crucial in "life" than they are great evidence for AOS or ROC.

Congrats on the interview notice, although I could absolutely scream!!! We files more than 2 months before you and have still heard nothing. There is not such thing as equitable in this silly process.

Hi, regarding to your post. I have a question. When you sent in your application on November 14th, what documents did you send as evidence of bonafide marriage since you don't have enough proof?

I ask because we are preparing to send in our application and my spouse and I don't have much except for a few pictures. We currently live with my brother, our plan is that when I get my EAD we will find a new place.

Thanks and congratulations on your green-card approval!

I got my Appointment letter today too! I am worried though as it is schedualed when I am suppose to be away in Vegas for 4 nights, It's the first time ive planned going away at all since i moved here and last time I spoke to immigration (a few weeks ago) they told me nt to expect this letter for another 3 months. Is it possible to move this interview by a few days? It says all over it that i must appear (which i will even if i have to lose out on my pre paid vacation that has no refund availble) so I'm scared to ask for a reschedual. YIKES

Your profile shows F-1, so is that the visa you are adjusting from? The poster of this thread is adjusting from a K-1 visa and did not need to file an I-130, which is the form that requires proof of bona fide relationship when initially filing.

OP> They are usually understanding that you don't have much joint/co-mingling proof for AOS. Take the proof of your joint bank account. Did you file joint 2014 taxes yet? Use a copy of that. IDs showing same address? Lease or mortgage in both names? Joint insurances of any kind? Listed as beneficiaries of each other for insurances of any kind?

Hi, thanks for your response, yes I am F1 and out of status so I have no form of Identification yet.

We only have photos and notarized letters from friends and family. My passport is expired so she couldn't add me to her bank account (no ID). We got married just a month ago and the address we have is that of relative because we live with him at the moment.

I plan to include only as much as I have (which in reality isn't much). But between when I get ead and my interview I will put together as much as I can.

Thanks!

Ok. So, I found more joint things to show. We have joint bank account for awhile now. I filed our taxes jointly (even though he didn't work at all) and made a copy of that paperwork. We have a joint lease agreement at our apartment. He got a state ID with our address and I have my license to show for same address. I also have him on my dental insurance which shows his name on my card and he has his own card. Then pictures. I hope this will satisfy them!

Print out whatever photos you do have. We took about 20 that the interviewer kept as well as out wedding album which she did not keep. We also had the last two bank statements, 2014 taxes, updated beneficiary forms, health insurance, etc. my wife also brought her driving permit, EAD, and passport. The interviewer made copies of all.

But most of all relax. The Detroit office staff was very friendly, and our interviewer was very nice. We were interviewed together, and not separated. The interviewer verified the 485 almost line-for-line including all the yes/no questions, then asked us about our story which she let both of us relate. Overall, about 10-15 minutes in the actual interview.

Good Luck!

One last thing, we did not receive a decision at the time of the interview. From what I have read here, that is fairly common, but seems to depend on the interviewer. Don't be discouraged, or disappointed if that happens to you. Our interviewer all be said we were approved when she started talking about needing to do the ROC process in two years less 90 days, but told us she needed to review the package in detail before a decision (most likely a review with a supervisor as well). We got our approval via text and the USCIS site two days later (and had a nice celebration) and received the written notice about six days later.

Good Luck!
