Hi Everyone,

I have a quik but very important question. I know this is not the right link but I chose it because the citizenship link is not vibrant. This where the action is . in case anyone has seen something, experience or any useful info I will be glad to get that. :help:

I am preparing to file for my US citizenship by middle of next year. :dance: 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. :thumbs:

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 ? :dance:

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. ? :unsure:

Sorry guys I know this is a distraction. Just that I trust YOU ALL.

I think the information you mentioned should work. Nevertheless, you may also want to consider information from various trips taken together (hotel, air,etc.) Photos showing the two of you together at various functions. And I'm thinking written statements from family and friends should help as well. But like I said, all that you've mentioned seems like it should be enough. If I think of something else I will let you know.

ALL things work TOGETHER for GOOD!

I think that you should carry a photo album. And be prepared to leave one of the photos behind with them. An album helps show a familial connection and it shows not just you together but it shows your life connection and things you do together as a family.
