The officer who interviewed us wanted to see a continual trail of leases or address evidence from the date of initial I-751 submission until day of interview.
I don't remember this being worded like that in the past either. The wording suggests, to me, a person who was taken out of their birth country at 7 months old requires a police certificate.....odd.
Typo. I meant paper trail...LOL. My mistake. A continual chain of evidence from date of submission of the I-751 until current date. He wanted to ensure we were still living in marital union.
During our I-751 interview, the officer wanted to see a paper trial of our living together from the time we submitted the I-751 until the day of the interview. He also wanted to driver licenses, bank accounts, signed leases, deeds, etc. Good luck.
@pushbrk How do you interpret this? I'm not sure this has always been phrased like this.

That is always at the discretion of the Consulate Officer. For one thing, It protects the spouse of the joint sponsor since they are using joint finances.
If needed, you just submit the name change document to show a link between your old and new legal names. Besides, the NVC stage mostly concerns the beneficiaries......not the petitioner.
Many consulates want the spouse of a Joint Sponsor to sign an I-864a if they file joint taxes. It sounds like you just need to find another willing, well-qualified joint sponsor who has sufficient income. Did they give her instructions on how to overcome this obstacle?
These two separate cases. Each case would require a letter. Once the letter is received by USCIS, he would have to restart the entire process if he wanted to petition them later.
California's tax strategy is simply killing the goose that laid the golden egg. It will start by taxing the wealthy, then creep down the socio-economic scale as sources of tax revenue dry up. Self-destruction guaranteed.
