Hi all,

 

 You guys have been so immensely helpful. Over the last few weeks of gathering my greencard evidence I have started a couple threads and the answers you guys have given have been above and beyond helpful. So I just want to start by saying thank you to anyone who took the time to hop on here and answer any questions I have had.

 

I was just about to send off my greencard application when I read a comment on here that kinda spooked me into thinking that I may not have enough supporting evidence. I want to make my application as full as possible. I know you have a 3 month window to send it in but I am stressed out because I am already 3 weeks into my 3 month window and want to get it off as soon as possible but want to make sure I did the best job possible. 

 

Included in my package I currently have:

* I put a blank wherever personal details would have gone

 

Check for 680.00

Please note- all documents listed have both my husband and I's name on them and most of them also have our address. All are copies and NOT originals except for the notarized affidavit.

 

The reason for the landlord affidavit is that we are renting from my husband grandparents and the renting situation is pretty lax. For our first greencard we did have a lease which we created for the purpose of the greencard, but since then we don't have one and with their taxes it wouldn't make sense. The rent also fluxuates all the time- for example with corona virus they have been extremely gracious in letting us off the hook for rent.

 

BUT- some folks on here suggested some additional pieces of evidence that we have gathered and will include. These are:

 

1. A cover letter- is this standard? What should I include? Should the cover letter just be about the landlord/renting situation? What should we write? I am afraid to write the wrong thing. Someone suggested your cover letter is basically your table of contents. So I could just list something similar to what I did above and then add a note on the bottom about the rental situation?

2. A document from my husbands grandfather showing his name owning the place we live at to give some provenance to the affidavit since they usually don't hold much weight. 

3. Drivers license scans for my husband and I.

4. Any airplane tickets or emails I can find to show we've taken trips together.

5. Possibly scanning our actual business card itself to show both our names on it. I also have some checks I could send with both our names from our business account. Should this be a copy or the actual checks?

 

Is there anything else you guys recommend? SSN's? Passport scans? Anything at all. Timeline of our relationship? Our story? We don't have any life insurance policies or 401K at the moment. We have our own businesses and are just trying to get by in these times- retirement is not on our mind. 

 

Any help would be so appreciated and thanks again to anyone who has helped me.

You have a goodly lot of info!

 

Do scan both of your driver's licenses IF the address on them is the same and it reflects where you actually live.

 

Otherwise - I think you are good to go!
