Proving my husband and I live at the same address

[thrashunreal 20]

Hey y'all.

My husband and I sent our AOS packet out almost a month ago now and have received texts and emails to confirm each form has been received.

I understand that at the interview (or at least at some point in the future) we will have to prove that we both live at the same address.

Currently we are renting a room from his best friend and wife, as they have just bought a place and so it is helping them with their mortgage. We have not signed a lease or any kind of agreement - can anyone suggest a way that we can prove we are residing at the same address? Could his best friend draw up a rental agreement for us?

Thanks in advance for any ideas or advice.

the friend can make a rental agreement for you both to sign. having both of your mail delivered there also will help. get both of your driving licenses set has you living there.

Stuff like this should have been included with your AOS package.

hopefully you included some other evidence of a genuine marital relationship?

I mean according to the guide on here you are to send a copy of the Marriage Certificate which we did.

The guide does not indicate you should send anything else with the AOS - but does state that you will need evidence of a bona fide marriage for the interview.

Would you mind directing me to where it says we needed to include such evidence with the initial AOS packet?

... I always forget you guys don't need to send the I-130 which requires marriage evidence. But if you do send evidence ahead of time, it's possible you may not get an interview. Many K1 don't anyhow, so I would assume it wouldn't hurt to do so, especially if it ups your chance of no interview. But perhaps it's not required like it is for a normal AOS or for a marriage visa either and the USCIS may not care unless there is an interview.

Or even maybe do a sworn affadavit that you both live there.

You have mail coming to you, don't you?!?!?! Bank statement and credit card bills (whether electronic or regular mail) have your names on them, your drivers' licenses....

Only a copy of the marriage certificate is required with the initial I-485 submission. It does not change your chances to interview or not based on whether or not you send in extra evidence not required with the filing of the form.

OP> Yes you can get a rental agreement drawn up, and/or an affidavit from the home owners stating that you rent a room in their home and live there together as a married couple. Use IDs with same address, and mail addressed to you both at that address. Send it IF you get an RFE for relationship evidence, take it with you IF you get an interview, or use it a couple years down the road when filing for ROC.
