2. Joint Car purchase documents

Documents include:

- Bill of Sale

5. Mortgage documents showing Joint ownership of property.

6. Joint Time share ownership/purchase documents.

7. Joint Time share Loan application/agreement and payments

8. Tax Transcripts (Joint Filing status) for Tax years 2014, 2015 and explanation for why we didn't file for 2013 as we were not eligible per IRS filing requirements.

9. Group Life insurance from work listing spouse as beneficiary.

10. 401k Retirement account listing spouse as beneficiary.

11. Joint Lease agreements for past 2 apartments

12. Joint Rent Insurance for 2 apartments

20. Tax Deficiency letter to me and my wife - Joint Tax filing (for amount of $150.00) from State IRS and payment receipt/confirmation

21. Copy of Green card (Front and Back)

We do not have a Will or Power of Attorney. We are planning on getting one soon as it's important but won't be due before I submit this.

Please let me know if the evidence listed above is good enough? If not, what else should we add (we don't really have any more evidence to add).

Thanks

You have a great list. You should be fine with this.

Maybe you can get some friends to get an affidavit to attest to your marriage

Thanks for checking it out @strongmyk. unfortunately, I mailed the package this morning. That was a good tip and we could have gotten family to get affidavits for us!

Absolutely true! I see all the horror stories of RFEs and I absolutely want to avoid one at all costs. I totally agree with sending more than less. They can toss out whatever they do not want. :-)

We sent a similar amount minus the mortgage and loans and were approved without issue. We also only did maybe 3 statements per account, but we had I think 4 joint bank accounts. Good luck.

That's refreshing to know! We only had 2 joint accounts (one checking and one for our car loan which also has a secondary savings account attached). Hopefully everything goes on good. I mailed the package out this morning so now the waiting begins!
