Evidence

[Widge 0]

Our evidence pile is not the strongest, we have joint accounts (health/tax) but no leases loans mortgages bills etc. So in attempt to come up with some evidence I am trying to think outside the box

ie I am including a newspaper article on my SIL when we collected bear for Hurricane Katrina where I am mentioned

it also occurred to me that the best evidence I have is the fact that as I dont drive my husband ferries me everywhere work shopping etc. can I list this fact on the cover letter?

I have also maintained a blog since being here hows about including samples from that ?

Any suggestions/input welcome

Do you have friendly work colleagues that could attest to seeing you with your husband every time you come to work? Or would your manager be willing to attest?

While I am not from the camp that thinks photos are much evidence, a few wouldn't go to harm if you feel you are lacking.

Another would be to join some clubs or even get a flipping credit card that has you both as account holders.

But, I don't think you need to worry too much, and I'm sure you'll come up with a good enough application.

Good luck!

the work colleague one is strange as the instructions specifically state that the people who write on our behalf should have known us SINCE our wedding - I didn't start work till three months after my greencard If we get an RFE I will use this evidence but not going with it to start

Already including a few photo's (Xmas family gatherings ) but not got many of us together as one of us is always holding the camera lol

Have a credit in card in my name which also has hubby as card holder and including copies of that

Hopefully I am worrying uneccesarily just had forgotten the stress of USCIS paperwork

Well, they have known you since your wedding. I don't think the rules mean ever since the actual day or anything? Or maybe they do My evidence from people I supplied certainly wasn't from when we were married. One was from the dentist which we had been going to for only a year.

Do you have any pets? Another idea could be from the vet or something if you go together.

But yeh, I really don't think you're gonna have a problem.

Deportation (j/k) would be a more pleasant experience than sitting in a car with any one of our cats on the 20mile trip to the vets it's one of my phobias just can't do it lmao

Many thanks for the suggestions though

Use me for one, we have pics and we did talk before your wedding and met at mine a few weeks later. We used our local bobby as he has known us from the beginning, purely friends ofcourse! Just put together as much rubbish as you can, I sent in letters addressed to us separately as well as together. Documents showing your the beneficiary of any 410K and/or insurance policies. Once you start collecting you will be surprised at how much you will gather.

Rosie!!!! Get me the copy of the new harry potter or David will kill me!!!!

Thank you

Margy:)

Thankyou for the offer Margy at the moment we aren't going to send any letters, but if we have problems I may well take you up on your offer. I wasn't at work yesterday if you still need Harry Potter let me know and I'll happily get one today if we still have them

Yes please pick one up if they still have one, John and I have both been in work so have not had a chance to get one. David has all the books and will be so upset if he can't get one, and it will be my fault:(

Thanks Rosie:)

You could also write your wills - always a good idea - and then include those as wells showing that you are leaving the bulk of your estate to each other if anything happens to one of you. There is good software available that will let you do it on your own without a lawyer although you need to have your signatures witnessed and notarized.

Good idea. And you're right, you don't need a lawyer to write a will. Does the notarized thing vary by state or something? We've never gotten our wills notarized, just witnessed.

We used a software called 'Broderbund Will Writer 2002'. It basically guided us through the process with a 'fill in the blank' approach. Then when we printed them out, the instructions said to have our signatures and the signatures of our witnesses notarized - so we did. Our bank said that they did not notarize wills but referred us to the UPS store that did for $3 a stamp.
