Marriage evidence

[abibae 2]

Okay! So I believe I'm nearly ready to send my I-751 package to the USCIS.

For evidence I provided this:

Copies front/back of conditional spouse's green card

Copies of marriage license and marriage certificate

Copies of his and I's passports showing our entry/depart dates when we visited South Korea in 2014

Pictures of our trip to South Korea in 2014 and a vacation we took with my family this year

Bank statements showing correlating payments with bills addressed to both of us (we do not have joint bank accounts so the best I could do was just print out a bank statement showing the processed payments and attach it with the bill that was sent under our names)

Copy of health insurance ID cards with our names

Copy of W2's from previous years showing our names and same address

Copy of 2014 joint tax transcript (I'm debating on sending in the 2013 tax transcript because it won't be here for about a week since I ordered it recently)

Birthday/holiday cards addressed to conditional spouse from my family/friends

Lease agreement showing our names

A letter sent to us by our apartment with both our names on it

Do you think that should be sufficient evidence? Anything I should add or change? We own a car but only my name is on it because my husband did not have any established credit at the time so we used my mother as a cosponsor and her name and my name are on the car. My husband pays the car payments though as he pays all utilities while I pay rent. With the bank statements I mentioned earlier, I was going to just show that I pay rent and he pays certain utilities.

I'm not really sure what else I could send in. We are both working students. We've never bought a house, we only bought one car and that was last year, we don't have any kids. Basically we are both still new to a lot of things so we don't have a lot of property or anything like that under our names.

You can add driver's licenses with both names and address on it

Get wills, power of attorney, living wills, medical powers of attorneys made up. Many states have free or cheap versions you can do yourself and have notarized - these are good to have in life, not just for ROC. Do not worry if they're signed the same day that you send out the package, ours were.

Also if you choose to you can affidavits from family or friends but know that they don't count for much in terms of evidence.

I initially was going to add our drivers licenses but our addresses do not match since we have moved three times the past three years we've been married. I updated my drivers license because I needed it for something (can't remember what it was) but we never updated his. I would order us new drivers license now, but we are actually moving out in a month so I feel like it will be a waste since we would just need to order again right after

Check into your state laws about if you must change an address on an ID if you move. I trust throughout all of these moves you've submitted a change of address online to the USCIS and also an I-865 for the petitioner?

[NikLR 13,227]

In our state (Colorado) you have to change your address but you can do it for free online and then write the new address on the back. However when I was in Canada you had to change your address which also required ordering a new driver's license.

I changed my address online with USCIS but I didn't know about the I-865. I heard from other people though that it shouldn't affect our I-751, but now I'm confused. Should I submit the I-865 first then send the I-751? Should I send them together? We are moving in one month as well so should I send the I-865 with my I-751 then send in a new I-865 after we move? Or should I just send in the I-751 then after we move, send in the I-865 with the new address?

[abibae 2]

I think I will just send in my I-751, then after we move I will update my address and send in an I-865 for my husband. I think if I send in an I-865 now, then file I-751, then send in another I-865 after moving in a month, it might make things complicated or confusing.

The I-865 won't affect your I-751. Only you not changing your address would.

After you move make sure to update your address and then finally get your hubs to send the I-865 (if possible.) LOL
