Students doing ROC

[HeandI 48]

Hi Everyone! It's almost time to file ROC. My husband and I are both students, he has been in school since the start of our immigration process, and I started school soon after arriving to the US. For the list of documents to send to USCIS we do not have joint lease together, because of our student status and where we live companies will not rent to us hence our lease is signed by a family member.. no will or anything of that sort as yet. We have joint bank account, utilities, credit cards and both our names on the rental insurance policies. We have multiple receipts for student resources purchased by my husband for me and also gifts, text messages (which I believe will be irrelevant),  multiple pics of my in-laws and I together, they live in another state and we visit frequently for most holidays, nieces and nephews baptism and such. We have thank you card from others, birthday and Christmas cards from both my husband and I. 

 

If there is anything else I can think of, I will update this. 

In my initial filing my husband wrote a letter and explained his status being a student, and when he will be ready to return to the working world. 

 

Can anyone advice me on how to prepare a really good package for my ROC. 

 

Thank you!

A well-established financial co-mingling for two students is not easy to achieve but are you guys co-signer in any student loans? Any trips you guys went together? You could get letters from those family members who signed the leases for you guys and have them notarized. Driver's licenses showing same addresses are good. If you changed last name to husband's last name, send copies of passports, etc that reflect your new last name. also don't forget tax return transcripts.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, we will get notarized letters from family member who support us. None of us work. We both are in school full time, so no taxes filed. It will be very difficult but we have a whole bunch of other stuff together other than the whole life insurance policies, will, mortgages and such. All our IDs share the same address but we havent taken any trip abroad since. We have passes to theme parks, and train itineraries.

You may want to include an explanation why you haven't filed your taxes. If you don't do that, an RFE asking for tax returns shouldn't surprise you guys. I hope someone who has such a letter template could share what they wrote in their letter. If not, use advanced search function to find posts from past.

Thank you. Yes, we are planning on doing all of that and also get them notarized.
