The very best evidence you can provide is that of time together. How many years?  Are you and your spouse living together or apart?  In addition, any legal documentation which is generated during a legitimate marriage is vital, imo.   It doesn't have to specifically be joint accounts and property, but those are good evidence.

Every case is unique. Immigration authorities look at the total picture in every case.  For example, if you and your spouse have had no time together in several years (which has been the situation in some cases here), I would expect a lot of scrutiny.....

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Why do you have chat logs if you have lived together for 7 years?

I've been married for 6 years and we have nothing joint, I don't  think  it would be an issue if you have all accounts separate. Just provide enough, phone logs, photos and ticket stubs of your relationship together.

The CO realizes that is is very difficult, if not impossible, to have shared bank accounts without both being in the states. I can’t be on an account in the Philippines and she can’t be on an account in the states. No way to have shared property. I was able to get Rose and the kids on my work health insurance. Rose has changed her name on her passport. There isn’t a lot we can do right now but I hope that these small things will work for us. 

PHILIPPINES ONLY!!!  CFO (Commission on Filipinos Overseas) INFO - Can't leave home without it!

 

PDOS (Pre-Departure Registration and Orientation Seminar) is for ages 20-59.  Peer Counseling is for 13-19 years of age.

It is required to have the visa in their passport for PDOS and Peer Counseling.

 

GCP (Guidance and Counseling Program) is for K-1 Fiancee and IR/CR-1 spouse ONLY.
