Bonafide proof only 4 months of marriage

[caliliving 606]

to be honest, i wouldnt worry too much! if you guys 'look' good together and also being from spain (ie not a high fraud country) it shoudlnt be too difficult! i can tell you, i have nothing joint with my husband!  and it wasnt an issue.  just know how you met and when you met! oh the biggest proof we had was pictures with each other family!! my parents came to visit us and we went on a vacation and then i flew to new york to be with his family! so that is huge for them.  anyone can put a name on somes joint account, but to go away for xmas together is a bigger deal IMO.  

so you live together, then have photos of you guys with the parents celebrating holidays and if you go on trips together that helps too! again, if you have no red flags it should be ok!

Don't worry, they know you've only been married and living together for a very short period of time, they won't expect much at all. Just explain your situation to them if they ask for proof of bonafide relationship.

 

I had several proofs of bonafide relationship but they didn't even care to look at any of it.

I will seocnd these and many others. My wife and I had been married exactly 4 months at the time of our interview for AOS last week. We brought copies of our joint gym membership, proof that I added her as a driver on my car insurance (legal to drive on international driver license for 1 year after entry to US), proof that her phone bill was paid out of our joint account (as we don't share a phone plan for cost reasons), a couple letters addressed to us as a couple, copies of plane boarding passes from a wedding we flew to together in August, and a copy of my very small retirement plan from a past job showing I had added her as a beneficiary. We also brought a million photos. The officer brushed aside everything and for our file only took photocopies of the envelopes of letter addressed to us and a copy of the auto insurance showing we were both covered on the policy - nothing else. If your story fits and you are a true couple from a low fraud country, seems they are forgiving and understanding of the short time.

Thank you so much guys, we will bring our joint bank account with statements and bank letters woth both of our names under the same address, affidavits from friends and family, a letter from her parents stating we live with them and we will try to get a phone plan or a gym membership together as well as pictures and musseums and parks tickets with photos (since the tickets dont show the name)

Didn't read other replies, so if someone mentioned it already, sorry.

 

 

Have the parents write a statement that you live with them and have been since X day, or possibly even pick up a blank lease from somewhere like Staples and they can write a lease for you two that is backdated

Do we need to get a notary to sign the statement? How does the blank leasevstuff work? Never heard of it

A blank lease is just a lease template, if you google lease template you will see what it is....basically fill in the blank stuff that is generic for each state. I would notarize the statement to be safe.

We have our interview scheduled for next month and even if we have lots of pictures, call logs and letters to each other, the only financial proof we have is a joint bank account because we only been married 3 months, what else do you guys recomend us to bring?

We've also only been married a little over 3 months when I had my AOS interview last Aug. 30, '17.  Didn't have EAD either. The officer did not ask a lot of questions about the relationship, just asked how we met but didn't dwell on that. He said that what he wanted to see were evidence of commingling. We've brought Joint bank account statements, credit cards with same number, my husband's 401K and life Insurance stating I'm the beneficiary,  also his health and dental insurance in which I was added to. Letters and cards addressed to both our names, marriage banns on the local paper (officer only glanced at those). I've also brought a bunch of pictures but he didn't look at those. Interview lasted for about 15 minutes, was approved and got the GC in the mail a week and a half later.

You think we a joint bank account, family phone plan, letters on the same address, bank statements with both or our nameson them, a notarized letter from her parents staring we  live with them and affidavits from her parents and friends will be enough?

Personally speaking, I think that is enough evidence considering you've only been married 3-4 mos ago. I was nervous at first about the evidence we were going to present, or lack thereof. But I think most interview officers are already inclined to notice whether the marriage is genuine or just a scam. Each interview is not really the same as what others had and can't really be compared. Just be yourselves, answer confidently and I'm pretty sure, you'll do just fine. Good luck!
