I'm American, he is Canadian. We met in Canada, started dating, then moved to South Korea to teach. We married there and he came to the US on a CR-1 January of 2014. If you guys could look over the proof I have so far, that would be great. Thanks :)

Looks good so far! Maybe add a will and/or medical power of attorney? Do either of you have a retirement plan with each other listed as beneficiary?

If possible provide all bank statments since you were married and started sharing your finances. Point out your direct deposites (if that is the case), rent payments for past residents, mortage payments, credit cards payments in the bank statements. Don't need to do for all statments but do for some of them. Also, add some junk mails addressed to both of you over the period of your marriage if you have them. For your home papers, provide both mortage and deeds documents. Provide copies of all your mortage statments if both your names are on the statements. Any credit card statements with common home address / with both your names will be helpful. Highlight any high value gift you have purchased for each other on the statments. Some these things helped me to avoid a RFE. Hope this helps.
