I-751 Evidences Advice (split and merge)

[cablewyres 38]

Hi Everyone,

 

We are still months away from filing removal of conditions, but just gathering evidences ahead of time to have them organized so we won't have to cram in geting things gathered when we get closer to our window time.

Here is a list of our current evidences and just want to confirm if we should be fine:

 

A. Evidence of communal residence:

• Both our driver's licenses showing same address
• Apartment lease (I wasn't added to the lease till like 5 months after our marriage as I was waiting for ssn and my driver's license. When lease expired our landlady did not require us to sign a new lease and allowed us to continue to living at our apartment as long as we pay our month to month rent)

Our proofs of continued joint communal residences though are:

• Electric bill under wife's name (3 of them) --one for each year
• Internet bill under husband's name (3 of them) -- at least one for each year
• Joint Home Renters Insurance (we did not think of getting one till recently so by the time we file for ROC, we only have a year's worth period of renter's insurance)

 

B. Evidences of joint finances and liabilities:

• Tax Account Transcripts for the past 2 years
• Copy of actual credit cards to show wife as primary user and husband as authorized (no statement as statement only shows her name on it)
• Joint Bank Checking Account Statements from date of marriage till ROC (bi monthly) -- We have our own separate accounts, but we use our joint checking to pay bills, insurances, transfers to each other and donations with probably an average of $1000 as total deposits per month
• Joint Auto Insurance (We only got it joint mid-way because wife is using her company's vehicle and they use to pay for her insurance until they told her that she needs to get one for herself)
• Joint Vision Insurance (supporting doc so only copies of joint card and policy)
• Joint Dental Insurance Policy, Cards, and Bills (bills start from 3 months after our marriage till ROC)

 

C. Affidavits

-one from Aunt and Uncle

-one from Grant Aunt

 

D. Pictures

-We can produce a timeline from marriage to ROC of pictures of us celebrating occasions together and with friends and family (ex. Birthdays, Anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas)

 

E. Joint Travels 

-1st year (went to Seattle to visit family for Thanksgiving) --tickets with both our names and pictures

-2nd year (went to Oakland/San Francisco to for Gran-Uncle's memorial service & to roam around San Francisco) --tickets with both our names, hotel, and pictures

-2nd year (went to Seattle and Cannon Beach-- this was a road trip with pictures

-3rd year (planning on going to Las Vegas with friends and possible also go to New York)

 

F. Greeting cards sent to couple at our communal residence

possibly 2-3 cards with stamps for each year (spanning from Wedding Congratulatory cards to us on our wedding up to whatever comes before ROC such as anniversary greeting card from family)

 

I hope this would be enough. I was thinking of getting life insurance as well and make her my beneficiary. We aren't really at that stage in our marriage yet as we are still in our 20s. I know that this would be good for us but perhaps haven't really considered this yet, and we don't want to completely shift our lives just for the sake of immigration as we are happily married. Your confirmation and comments would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm sorry if I am high jacking this post. I've tried to create my own post but haven't been getting answers. We ourselves are getting ready for ROC and it seems everyone here have been providing helpful advice and inputs which are related to my quiry. I hope someone can help us as well. We are still months away from filing removal of conditions, but just gathering evidences ahead of time to have them organized so we won't have to cram in getting things gathered when we get closer to our window time.
