INTERVIEW: NO JOINT ACC OR UTILITY BILLS but dif Evidence

[New Yorker 0]

Hello,

our interview is around the corner..Its here!!!!! after years.. We are nervous because we live in my mother in law's home, so all utility bills, lease, etc is under her name.

We dont have joint account because hubby is a great spender, a great debtor..!

We have wedding photo album, hundreds of pictures in diferent countries, health plans, correspondence. We have no children.

Please, anyone knows if a notarized statement from my mother-in law would be helpful..?? Is it really that important the thing with the joint accounts or name on the bills..??

Should we use past evidence (used for the K1 visa) we have lived together since 2002.

Please Help!! I promise to post our full experience at the interview for the new interview goers desperatly dying like me!!

Notarized statements from people who don't live at the same address as you will probably carry more weight.

Also, any paperwork that you have that shows you are together will be helpful. Receipts from vacations, hotels, etc.

The important thing is to demonstrate with confidence that your relationship is bonafide, and have the evidence to back it up.

Perhaps receipts from large purchases that you have made that show a bonafide relationship - like new furniture, appliances, etc. (its very common after marriage to re-decorate).

Do you have credit card statements with both your names on it?

Insurance papers and retirement accounts would be good too.

As for past evidence, i can't see it hurting your case to bring it, but it does not go a long way to prove your relationship now. I imagine the interviewer would want the preponderance of evidence to be within the last 3 months or so.
