Hi guys,

After waiting for over 6 month for the i-751, we finally got RFE today in the mail.

In the RFE, it's asking for evidence for good faith marriage.

I have sent in the below items, can anyone else think of more evidence to send with the RFE?

1. Joint bank account statement spanning over 1 year period

2. Joint Health Insurance

3. Wedding Pictures and other pictures of out life together

We are living with my parents (their house), so we do not have rental agreement to show. Can we have my parents sign affirmative confirming that we live with them?

As we do not own a house, so we don't have a house loan, and I have a car loan, but that was only in my name.

Because we live with my parents, we do not have utility bills with our name on them.

In the RFE it also said we could provide "legible copies of the civilly registered birth certificate for any child(ren) born to you and the petitioning spouse"

We don't have any children yet, but the wife is pregnant due in Nov. Can we use some sort of doctor's note saying she is pregnant?

Thanks in advance for any of your inputs.

yes your parents can write/sign and notarize letter saying you guys live with them

you would also need 2 affidavits from friends saying they know you as a couple blah blah

what about credit cards?

you should send car insurance showing both names

of course you can have your dr. give you a letter saying your wife is expecting a baby due november

when did you guys file it?

We filed in feb.

Wife doesn't have a driver license, so her name is not on he auto insurance. I got her credit card in her own name to build credit, so we do not share a credit card.

I don't think it would help op at this point, it would look like op is trying to salvage some evidences for rfe list.

Will and medical power attorney might help though.

Op best bet is to explain everything on a letter. An interview is not the bad if they are legit.

I am going to get the will and medical power attorney and plus the doctor's note regarding my wife's pregnancy.

I will also attach a letter explaining the lack of some of those evidences.

At this point, i'd rather they schedule us for interview (but hopefully not during when my wife will be delivering the baby)

a letter from a doctor saying she is pregnant does not prove anything except that she can get pregnant, it does not prove paternity
