Interview question regarding relationship evidence

[Gaiden79 14]

Hey everyone, 

 

I'm now waiting for the NVC to schedule my wife's IR-1 interview, but I had a question about our relationship. 

 

My wife and I were married in 2017 and I lived with her in the Philippines for about 2 years. We also had a daughter in 2018. Also I was able to get the CRBA for my daughter in 2019.

 

When I returned to the US in 2018 I filed the petition for her, but I haven't been able to visit her since then. This is due to financial troubles and life issues unfortunately. We would video call/chat everyday and I would send her ongoing support during this time.

 

I won't have any recent pictures to show of us together or proof of visitation. I could show proof of support and chat logs if needed. I never filed Taxes jointly with her because she didn't have income. I am unsure what else could possibly be required for the Interview. 

 

My Question would be: Will this be a problem at the interview and what could I do to fulfill the requirements now while waiting, if anything?

 

Thank you!

Just provide the CRBA and evidence you lived together for two years.  You won't need anything else.

Thank you so much. May I ask some examples of solid evidence of living together in the Philippines?

Entry and exit stamps in your passport are the best evidence.  You've also already declared your physical address history to include where you lived during those two years.  Right?  Should have been included with the initial petition.  Was it?

Oh good to hear, I do still have those stamps. Also yes I did declare my address history on the initial petition and put that I lived in the Philippines. Thank you very much for the answer.

You probably put more than you lived in the Philippines.  Hopefully, they will see your address was the same for a time.

Of course, I had many.
