Hello everyone.

Next week I'm sending my papers for removing conditions and before I freak out I wanna make sure we don't forget anything.

We have collected utility bills (4 of FPL the electric company and 2 bills of TMobile of 2014), also we have the IRS taxes from 2012 and 2013 and 5 bank statements from 2012 to the end of 2014.

Car insurance cards and letters with both names (2013 & 2014)

I wanted to send more bills but the cable company and others do not include both names on the bill even if we requested it.

We plan to send some pictures of our trips we did together and gathering with my husband's family (Orlando and the Keys).

So I have a few questions.

Do you think this should be enough proof?

Should we send a photocopy of the utility bills? Or do they want the actual bills?

How many pictures we should send? 5? 10?

Please if you think I should add something more as proof, please let me know.

Thanks! :D

What about a copy of a lease or mortgage deed? Joint credit cards?

Also it's a good idea to have quarterly statements from all accounts/utility bills from the past two years. In other words, one statement from each account for every 3 months.

We have joint debit cards but we dont have credit cards. My husband got rid of that LOL

We dont have a lease, he has a mortgate on the house its only in his name (he bought that house more than 10 years ago).

Thanks for the quaterly statements tip.

I made a typo, that should read one statement for every 3 months, not every 4.

The mortgage isn't a big deal considering your husband already owned the house, but I would include copies of the joint debit cards as well.

Good Luck.

Thanks a lot Teddy.

Regarding the bills, should them be copies or the original?

Always send copies in the mail unless an original is specifically requested. If there is ever a problem you can present originals if needed.

You might also include some of the very best proof: Wills, medical powers of attorney, HIPAA releases, and similar documents.

These make great evidence for ROC, and they're even more valuable to have in "life."

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Do you have any life insurance policies with each other listed as beneficiary? Annuity or 401K with each other as beneficiary?

We do! We are both listed under our retirement and life insurance and we will make a will too. I wonder if they care when the will is made rather than it is made.

Wills (one by each of you, naming the other as beneficiary) are outstanding in their own right.

Even more important is what happens if either half of a couple dies without one. Intestacy is a cruel legacy to leave the grieving survivor.

Send copies, are you on any insurances together?

Yes, we have Geico car joint insurance. I don't drive at the moment but I have my learner permit and of course it includes our home address.

I'm also printing 10 pictures (tried to pick the "best" pictures of our trips and family gathering etc).
