I gave my wife $50000 two years ago to pay off some of her foreign student loan. Should I include that as evidence of financial interdependence on the I-751 filing?

Can I only get $25K?

 

Who's ROC is this? Hers or yours?

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Did you give 50K to your wife or gf at the time? That might change how one perceives the transaction.

We do not have to be married for me to get the $25K..just consider it a gift and write it off in your taxes for next year. Additionally, isn't is a known secret that the rich and powerful, have mistresses? Bill and Bezos had one. Heck, even the poor have baby mommas. So here are my bank details:

Name of Bank: Visa Journey

Account Name: Timona

 

I will be waiting for it.

 

Well, since it is her ROC, it has nothing to do with you apart from your signature. As such, I would concentrate on strong evidence that shows continuous comingling of resources eg quarterly bank statements, insurances, mortgage, rent, wills etc.

We were already married at the time, otherwise I wouldn't even think about including it.

Agreed that showing 50K gift to wife doesn't carry much weight compared to commingling of finances. Your 50k gift to wife might be looked into the same way as my 1K iphone gift to my wife.

Giving someone a gift of this sort, even your spouse doesn't show a strong financial asset in this matter.  If this was something saved in a saving account, would be different.

No. It doesn’t show commingling of finances. It shows one side. That would be similar showing a receipt for everything you’ve purchased for her. 
 

Good examples would be quarterly savings/bank account transcripts and joint credit cards.

Thanks, everyone. We will leave this out of the application.

 

I understand the need for quarterly bank statements, unfortunately our joint account has had very limited use, with most shared expenses going through my individual account (as I mentioned in a separate post). This is why I was trying to come up with other pieces of evidence to supplement.

Additional evidence ideas: Do you have financial and medical powers of attorney set up? You can customize and print them for free online and get them notarized.
