Affidavits are fine. I would add a spouse to car insurance or as beneficiary of life insurance. Even a will.

Affidavits are low level evidence but that doesn't mean you cant include them. Fyi i reported the post since it apparently contains personal information.

Thank you! I was on my cell phone an couldn't figure out how to delete it ... My husband got a copy of his life insurance through work an I am the beneficiary of it ... I am also on his health insurance too if we took photocopies of the insurance card would that be a good idea too?

We sent a photocopy of our marriage certificate but I've been told we'll need an original when we get to interview stage, possibly even NVC.

For the passport we just did the main biographical page at this stage, again it doesn't say all pages so we figured this was all they need .... we shall see (most of my stamps are in my old passport too, so that will be interesting for them)

With evidence, we did collages of photos and printed them out.... of each trip we have taken along with itinerary and hotel confirmations that we had. (doing it this way meant less paper to submit too) And pages of "over the years" to show we'd "aged" together. lol. Plus itinerary from when we flew to meet each others families etc. We also included photos from the wedding ... of us together, with all guests in a group shot, etc. (I read somewhere that they want to see that the wedding was witnessed by friends and familiy in the photos so that's why we did). We also included other evidence such as lease agreements, joint bank accounts, showing rent receipts coming out of our joint account, and so on.

In saying all the above, we haven't been approved yet but I did A LOT of reading first... the wiki mentioned on the forums is amazing at helping too.

Absolutely! And copy if the insurance policy.

You'll send in another copy at the NVC stage and you'll need the original at the interview (FWIW, they returned the original to me when the interview was done).

@Kallen:

Affidavits, I agree with NLR -- send them in! I mean, I wouldn't go out of my way to get them, but since you already have them then definitely send them. Them may not help a lot, but will help more than if you just leave them sitting at your desk.

Also yes to a copy of any insurance policy you're both on (we had a joint auto insurance policy so we sent copies of those in).
