What did you submit as evidence?

[Heliosphan 1]

My wife and I lived together for a while before submitting the packet so we sent basically anything we had:

Copy of Apartment Lease

Copy of Joint Bank Account Statements

Copy of Health/Dental Insurance Cards

Copy of Furniture Invoice

Copy of Utility Bills

Copy of Receipts for Matching Tattoos

Photos

We didn't submit anything like that. We are a K-1 case, so we submitted only what the directions said to, which meant a marriage certificate. It looks like people have gotten through fine without proving their relationship. They will ask for this kind of evidence at the interview, or when you lift conditions.

I can't see your timeline, so I can't tell if you are a K-1, K-3, or other.

Good to see some other folks from Trinidad around. Good luck!

Hey, I've only seen a few other cases from Trinidad few and far between.

I'm an F1 student adjusting from inside the US. I'm not sure how the K1, K3 stuff works. Anyone adjusting from in the US has to submit the I-130 with evidence along with the I-485.

You are missing all the critical things - like Marriage Certificate, birth certificate of the applicant (and translation if needed), G325a, passport photos etc. etc. etc. - I believe you are confused and you need to specify what you are filing for and exactly what did you submit?

I submitted all the required stuff.

I mean for the I-130. Assuming you're adjusting while living in the US on an H1B/F1/B1 as opposed to coming from a K1/K3, I guess.

We didn't send anything like that either, just followed AOS instructions from USCIS and VJ ... and we are a K-1 as well.

If they request for that kind of document (proof of relationship) it's going to be for the interview and lifting conditions.

I see what you're saying now, you need to prove relationship because since you didn't come here as Fiance K-1 or Spouse K-3 - you didn't provide proof of relationship before (as K-1 and K-3 needs to do when petitioning and at the interview in the home Country).

I found this Instructions for form I-130 on the USCIS website, that explains what all documents you should submit as proof of relationship (page #2):

Apparently what you have gathered seems to be enough for it.

I hope it helps! Good Luck!

Exactly! I didn't realize most people here are adjusting from K1/K3.
