Citizenship Question

[Apio 0]

Hi Everyone,

I have a quik but very important question. I am preparing to file for my US citizenship by middle of next year. Recently, my USC wife filed for an immigrant visa petition for my daughter( her stepdaughter) to join us.Everything went on fine and

our daughter is now with us here in the US.

During the IV interview, the CO asked me to submit proof that my wife and I are still married and living together. The CO's reason was that when they pulled our background information, it showed that we were living at different addresses. Our explanation was that she (my wife) has two teen-age children who opted to live with their grandmother. Because of that we have been renting apartments (in my wife's name) for the grandmother and the 2 kids since my wife's mother was depending on her before we got married.

My name has been on the lease at the apartment where we live, but have both our names on some utility bills, bank statement, life insurance.

My question is will this be enough proof to submit that we have been in legal marriage relations for the whole 3 years ?

If it may not be enough, what are suggestions ?

I need to get things ready before it comes up again at my citizenship interview.

What other documents do we need to get ready as I prepare for it. ?

I just submitted my N-400 application, and sent along with it the last 3 years Income Tax Transcripts, showing that my husband and I filed "jointly".

I would probaby make sure that the written explanation is on file. And maybe mother's statement explaining the lease situation wouldn't hurt.

I always think that more is better than less as far as all kinds of proof go in the immigration process.
