i-130 evidence list - does this look good enough?

[MMRF 17]

Hi all. First time caller here 🤪. I (USC) and spouse (F1) are about to send this i130 (and all the other forms concurrently).

 

Can you tell me if this list of evidence looks adequate for proof of relationship?

 

Contains both our names at the same address:

-Rent bill

-Internet bill

-Renters insurance policy

-2 months joint bank account statements (this account is new but it has plenty of activity)

-2 pieces of misc mail

-A letter from our apartment management company noting my husbands move in date (I signed the lease long before we lived together and they say can't add anyone to an existing lease, only allow for "occupants") Note I did include the rent bill above which does have both our names on it.

 

Additional:

-Printouts of all my financial accounts w/ him listed as a beneficiary

-Copy of marriage license

-A couple photos from the courthouse wedding

-About 15 photos of us together doing stuff out and about (incl. a couple w/ friends/family) w/ captions

-About a dozen pages of text message exchanges

-2 affidavits from family

-a couple of tickets from plays/events we went to

-a few postcards I mailed him from trips I took w/out him

 

 

Things we don't have:

-Life insurance

-Shared health insurance (this won't happen until beginning of next year but it can be provided at interview)

-Travel evidence (we haven't gone anywhere b/c Covid and we don't have a lot of time/money to go places). I did include 2 photos of us on different camping trips if that means anything.

-Additional wedding stuff (invitations, receipts, etc). We just went to the courthouse b/c we didn't want an elaborate affair. Only 1 witness was allowed. There was no reception or other party after.

-Social media evidence as we don't use it.

 

Is there anything you think is missing?

Thank you!

I included 2 months of joint bank statements (this account is new).

We married in Oct so there are no taxes yet. We don't want to wait to file this until after tax time.

You guys share auto insurance?

Mobile phone plan?

Joint credit or credit card?

No, we live in NYC and don't have a car. 

No, I've been on my family's phone plan for years. I'd rather not leave it and pay more just to have this 1 extra thing.

We just have 1 joint checking account.

It’s a little light but they won’t “reject” it.  By the time they RFE if they do you will have joint taxes and health insurance, which will both carry a lot of weight.

 

Best of luck

I can include screen shots from our state health exchange application showing that we applied together if you think that will help. Unfortunately the insurance cards or any piece of mail probably won't come for a while.
