Trouble with removal of conditions. (title edited)

[Darryl2277 1]

I'm not sure if this is common, but our (wife's) application for ten year GC was basically denied, and they are asking for more information. We sent in ample evidence initially, and I'm not sure what more we can send. They feel like it may be a "fraudulent" marriage. Crazy, but any help is appreciated. BTW, the only thing that we are unable to show is that the house is only in my name, and I didn't think that was a big deal since my wife is retired, and doesn't have income, and it is almost paid off. Tks.

What did you send

It wasn't denied, you just received an RFE. I echo the question above me: what did you send?

List what you did submit as evidence and then we may be able to tell you what else would work.

Thanks everyone. We sent 3 yrs of tax info, bank statements, insurance info from my work, pictures with family, everything showed that both of our names on the paperwork. I'm sure there was other info sent, just cannot remember. We used a checklist we found here. As I mentioned above, the only thing that is in my name is the house which still has a small mortgage. We have been married for 4 year's this year (March 22). I'm not sure if this is relevant to this situation, but my wife lost her only son two years ago in a drowning accident while he was on Holiday in South Africa, and she traveled often back to China/Hong Kong during this time.

Maybe we underestimated what they needed, but feel we covered the list adequately. We are both 53 years old, and are maybe naïve regarding the process. The last two years have been difficult, as you can imagine, and having this "hiccup" doesn't help. Thanks for any help.

Actual denial rates are 5.3% for ROC, don't panic yet. Most likely you only sent in a few statements from here and there, and they want every statement to show a continuous chain.

Sorry for your loss.

Submit more evidence such as insurance policy, 401k, joint utility bills joint, savings and checking account showing complete transactions from the day you were married or since it's opened in our case.

Joint phone bills, affidavits? Photos ?? Home insurance? Joint title of the car? Any joint loans you have?

In our case we submitted HVAC loan for our previous house. That could be an idea?

Car insurance? Anything you purchased together recently? Joint credit card statements? You need to submit the entire transaction not just the front page. I even called our credit union to send me a letter stating the information of our account like when we opened, our names etc.

Did y'all travel recently? You can submit boarding passes, receipts pertaining to that trip.

did you get an actual denial letter? What does the letter you received say?

According to OP "they are asking for more information", sounds like an RFE, not a denial (personally I never heard of a straight-up denial without sending an RFE first).

OP, send bank statements for EACH AND EVERY month for the last two-three years. Do you have any credit cards? If yes, same for those. At this point, maybe some affidavits from friends/family? Don't panic, even if the additional evidence does not convince USCIS, you'd get an interview before they'd deny. Denials are few and far between & in the VERY unlikely event that they happen, one gets to go before an Immigration Judge to plead their case before deportation can occur.

Wills. Medical powers of attorney.

Thanks all. Car Insurance and Will are great ideas along with neighbors letters, everything else we have covered. Being "established", we have no loans or debt other than a small mortgage in my name only. I did have our Credit Union print out all of her debit charges, showing she is actively purchasing items in our area. I wish we could go directly to an interview, and get this over with. Her Drivers license will expire in two months, and without the new GC, cannot get new one. We will get all of this together, and send it out asap. Will keep everyone posted. Tks.
