· Copy of our renter insurance (October 31 2015 to October 31 2016)

· Copy of our renter insurance (October 31 2016 to October 31 2017)

· Copy of our joint health insurance Card which is showing the same insurance policy.

· Copy of our recent joint bank statement which has showing all the transaction i.e. rent, utilities, credit card, vehicle loan etc.

Well, She came to the USA through CR1 (Spouse Visa) so, I don't think I should have the evidence since the married year. I have only joint tax account and tax return transcript for 2014. She came to the USA at the end of 2014 so I could not make any joint evidence for the year of 2014. I was sharing an apartment with friends till October 2015 so no lease contract under our name, and i guess it will be a problem. I had been using a credit card for daily expenses, but when we leased the apartment after that i start using our checking account for apartment rent and electricity bill but since last three months i have been using our joint account for any major bill pay like rent, utilities, car loan etc,that's why I send the recent bank statement. What you guys think, does it considerable to avoid the REF and interview ?

I have no evidence from 2013-2014 either (also CR-1) apart from a trip I took to visit my husband during the CR-1 process. If I get an RFE I'm planning to explain I was out of the country waiting for them to give me a visa.

We did try to add me to the lease and bank accounts but they wouldn't do it. If that's a deportable offense then I'll leave.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

No-one said it was a deportable offence.... IF you receive an RFE its simply a chance for you to send additional documents or a letter explaining your circumstances. I think you are jumping the gun here!

Probably :) I don't think it'll be an issue. I just get frustrated seeing people insisting we must have evidence from date of marriage. It's not always possible.

ROC rarely results in someone being denied... I have been waiting nearly 13 months since I applied for my ROC and not heard a thing back from them.... to be honest an RFE would be a relief.... at least I would know they are working on my case file! :rofl:

People insisting ? USCIS wants to see financial co mingling from inception of marriage and I have seen many RFE's using the

"from inception of marriage" lingo.

If possible of course and if it was not possible while still in the foreign country, then explain why it was not if you are RFE'd for it.

One recent bank statement is not sufficient.

Congratulations! How long did it take for it to get approved? Did you move address while the process was in action?

It took exact 536 days to receive the green card after filing I-751 and yes I did change the address once in that period.

Thanks
