    Send the statements since she was added, but also explain WHEN you added her to the account. Showing that you live at the same address will go a long way - so things with your spouse's name on it from 2024 will be important if you can show that. For example: Many driver's licenses have the date of acquisition, and the date of expiry on them. If your spouse's driver's license has that data, it can show where the spouse was living (because of the address printed) at the time the license was granted. Best of luck! Sukie in NY

    Send documentation SINCE YOU MARRIED. Send ALL pages of bank statements. In your cover letter, please give the explanation you gave in your original post about how you owned the house prior to the relationship. It will keep you from getting an RFE about this. Good luck! I think you are looking good! Sukie in NY

    Use the joint account. Put a note in your I-751 cover letter that the account is new, and that you did not have a joint account until recently because your wife wasn't working. Don't make THEM guess. Show All statements that you have since she was added. Sukie in NY

    Have the people you are staying with write an affidavit stating that you live with them, and what you pay, and how it contributes to your living situation. That way you have a complete trail of cohabitation - parents, lease, parents, friends. Best of luck! Sukie in NY

    Mention the no-mortgage fact in your cover letter. No need to prove it. You have homeowners insurance with both names. That's fine. Sukie in NY

    The reason for single-sided documents is that your whole package is scanned when it gets there. There is a danger that whoever is loading it into the machine will not SEE that you have printed "duplex" and that may lead to questions later. Don't worry about color. Our packet was about 3 inches thick. I'm sorry we have to waste paper printing all of this (wouldn't it be nice to just upload electronic documents?), but I've always felt it is better to "idiot proof" your packet and not risk an RFE.

    Salish Sea, not every utility will do this. It's a great idea, but I know we ran into the problem that the utility will only list ONE name on the account. So we put one utility in MY name, and one in HER name to get around that. Sukie in NY

    Am I wrong in saying that the expiration of your Green Card is now 12/24/28? At least that is what is now in the system.... Sukie in NY

    It is not a requirement. It is very nice to have. Best of luck in getting an answer! Wish I could help! Sukie in NY

    Do write a cover letter explaining how you do your mortgage. That way, the officer reviewing does not have to guess at anything. Just say what you told us above: "My wife purchased the house before our marriage with the help of my father in law. My father in law is the co-sponsor of the mortgage. So I don't have my name on the mortgage but we are paying the payments from our joint bank accounts every month for mortgage and all the utilities." Best of luck on your journey! Sukie in NY

    No need for that last bit. Sukie in NY

    Looks good. Add a cover letter explaining why you are including bank statements from August 2023 (instead of from the time of marriage), as well as a statement explaining that you had already purchased the house and car and re-financing to add her name was not economically feasible. This way they won't ask you for info re: these things. Best of luck as you continue your journey! Sukie in NY

    Unfortunately, some utilities will only allow one name on the account. So frustrating. Having a joint cellphone bill is good, though. Sukie in NY

    Also - have your spouse listed as a claimant on your homeowner's insurance. You really want to do this regardless of immigration - if something should happen to you and there is house damage, if your spouse is not listed as a claimant they would not be able to file a claim to get things fixed.
