RFE Received For I-485

[TJLAKA 1]

Hi All,

 

Just got this from USCIS. They said they need more proof of our bonafide marriage and listed that we provide the following:

 

• Documents showing joint ownership of property, such as mortgage agreements or payments,

• property titles, or property registrations; - we  don't own a house. 

• Lease(s) showing the same residence; - trying to make this happen as I'm the only one on the lease but she gets tons of mail there

• Documents showing shared finances and obligations (such as joint bank account(s), credit card

• statements, telephone bills, gas bills, electric bills, water bills, other utility bills, joint income

• taxes, joint insurance policies, insurance policies where one spouse is the dependent of the

• other, etc.); -

  • we have one joint bank account, and she is not listed on any utility bills. should I add her name to any bills and print that she is on those accounts?

  • I was also thinking of printing verification of our joint bank account

• Birth certificate(s) of child(ren) born to the spouses; - we have no children.

• Pictures of wedding and other events. - we have tons of pictures, some with family. how many should we send?

 

Also thinking of sending:

 

- 2 affidavits from friends/family testifying to marriage

- adding her to utility and phone and internet bills

- proof of joint bank account

- proof of her paystubs going into our joint bank account

- proof of her on my insurance card and my insurance benefits

- a medical bill addressed to our residence. 

 

Any other tips? 

 

Thanks!

Do as much as you can.

Add the spouse to utility bills, lease, banks.

Send as much evidence as you can.

Pictures are great but they don't carry as much weight as other evidence.

This will include sending not just proof of a joint account but the actual statements showing you both using the account

Just curious… when did you file the AOS application? It’s not in your timeline

Ah ok so this was right after you guys married... Did you guys not send in much marital evidence with the application?

I feel as though we did, but maybe we didn't send enough.

What exactly did you send so far?

 

Your response to RFE needs to be substantial. I'd be sending everything I have. It may be 50+ pages of evidence since June last year.

 

Make sure to include all pages of evidence.

 

There's no such thing as too much evidence in your situation, as long as it's relevant and organized well.
