ROC evidence check and questions

[YecaCruz 379]

Hello, I would like to first thank you all who take time to read threads like mine. We are coming up on our turn for ROC madness. After reading through the pinned evidence list I have a few questions that I'm hoping someone can perhaps address and help me out.

 

1. Have leases for 2015 and 2016. Didn't resign the lease for 2017 but are now living month to month in the same place. Do I need to get some kind of letter stating this? I DO have a text that I sent the prop manager asking to verify if we were indeed on a "month-to-month" basis in which she says 'yes', would that suffice along with pieces of mail and "rent paid" statements to prove that? Or all of the above?

 

2. I know that some people do those medical power things. Important for life blah blah blah. My question is have you ever seen an RFE for them specifically requesting POA or medical POA papers? If not then I figure it's one less thing to chase around

 

3. For showing trips together, I have the actual plane tickets saved along with trip confirmation stuff. Is that too much? Can I just show passport stamps and pics instead?

 

I have:

Every single bank account statement from when he was added along with the signature cards.

Every single credit card statement along with a verification letters stating each other as authorized signors on the credit cards. He is primary name on one and I am on the other

Every monthly statement/bill for internet and electricity on which both of our names are listed

Car titles & registrations with both our names

401k benefit plan with husband listed as beneficiary

Car insurance policies spanning with marriage that shows him as authorized driver to eventually fully insured driver

Copies of medical / dental insurance cards

Various labeled photos on a word document spanning marriage

 

I understand that letters from friends/family along with personal received mail is considered secondary evidence in case you don't have other kinds of evidence.

From what you see is there anything you can see that we should make sure and get before we send everything in (In Feb 2018 after taxes are filed)

1. Have leases for 2015 and 2016. Didn't resign the lease for 2017 but are now living month to month in the same place. Do I need to get some kind of letter stating this? I DO have a text that I sent the prop manager asking to verify if we were indeed on a "month-to-month" basis in which she says 'yes', would that suffice along with pieces of mail and "rent paid" statements to prove that? Or all of the above? - While the old lease would help but the USCIS wants to see as well the recent apartment lease, If you're paying a month to month rent then I would suggest to ask for a letter as well from the landlord that would specify that you and your spouse in paying a month to month rent, include the month to month statements as well that has your name and your spouse name.

 

2. I know that some people do those medical power things. Important for life blah blah blah. My question is have you ever seen an RFE for them specifically requesting POA or medical POA papers? If not then I figure it's one less thing to chase around - I would include this as well since this one has a big role on your application, remember the more evidence you have the better.

 

3. For showing trips together, I have the actual plane tickets saved along with trip confirmation stuff. Is that too much? Can I just show passport stamps and pics instead? - Photocopy the passport stamp and include the reservation and the ticket it self. This would show that you and your spouse really travel together.

 

I have:

Every single bank account statement from when he was added along with the signature cards. - Make sure to include all the statements on a monthly basis from the day you added your spouse on your account

Every single credit card statement along with a verification letters stating each other as authorized signors on the credit cards. He is primary name on one and I am on the other - Make sure to include all the statement on a monthly basis from the day you added your spouse on your account.

Every monthly statement/bill for internet and electricity on which both of our names are listed - Good

Car titles & registrations with both our names - Good

401k benefit plan with husband listed as beneficiary - Good

Car insurance policies spanning with marriage that shows him as authorized driver to eventually fully insured driver - Photocopy your spouse driver's license  as well as yours  that shows the same as address.

Copies of medical / dental insurance cards - Include the plan benefits and coverage that shows your name and spouse name. It is better to include the old plan as well as the USCIS wants to see all co-mingling assets and liabilities since day one of marriage to present.

Various labeled photos on a word document spanning marriage - Be creative, make sure to put some notes on the photos, like where is the location of the photo and what year was taken . Example (Canada - 2016)

 

I understand that letters from friends/family along with personal received mail is considered secondary evidence in case you don't have other kinds of evidence. - If you have the chance to have then it would be better but this is just a secondary evidence. The primary evidences are co-mingling assets and liabilities.

From what you see is there anything you can see that we should make sure and get before we send everything in (In Feb 2018 after taxes are filed) - Include the previous years tax filing since they want to know if you and you're spouse is paying taxes from previous years to present.
