Hello,

Looks good to me. I submitted like 10 days ago, and I did not send photos...I think you have enough evidence.

for the passport, i made a copy and sent it just in case.

Hope that helps

Good luck

VJ guide does not say anything about passport either, you are not adjusting status.

At this stage! When i doubt? SUBMIT IT! Espescially if it's only 1 page. Sure won't hurt.

Also! "A picture is worth a thousand words".

Thanks for the passport copy response. I decided to add the pictures, so it's not going out until tomorrow [we're a week later from the 90 days but oh well]. I took 1-2 pics from each vacation and events with friends and family [it spans Feb 07 to Dec 08] and it added up to 10 pages. Printed it with 2 pages per sheet and it looks alright. Thanks again! Almost there.

A very important item missing from your list are sworn afidavits from friends.

http://www.visajourney.com/examples/USCIS_I751_Affidavit.doc

http://www.visajourney.com/examples/I-751_support.doc

Evidence of the Relationship. Submit copies of documents indicating that the marriage upon which you were granted conditional status was entered in ''good faith'' and was not for the purpose of circumventing immigration laws. Submit copies of as many documents as you wish to establish this fact and to demonstrate the circumstances of the relationship from the date of the marriage to the present date, and to demonstrate any circumstances surrounding the end of the relationship, if it has ended. The documents should cover, but not limited to,the following examples:

5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by at least two people who have known both of you since your conditional residence was granted and have personal knowledge of your marriage and relationship. (Such persons may be required to testify before an immigration officer as to the information contained in the affidavit.) The original affidavit must be submitted and also contain the following information regarding the person making the affidavit: his or her full name and address; date and place of birth; relationship to you or your spouse, if any; and full information and complete details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge. Affidavits must be supported by other types of evidence listed above.

I would make copies of ur and husbands Drivers license to prove that u are staying the same house

my CA Driver's License has my old address so it's no good.

i am not including any affidavits, my understanding is...it's optional...and only if your other evidence are not strong enough. in any case, if they do request for more evidence, then we'll send them. the one evidence that i should have but i don't have at this time is our lease agreement. i verbally added him when we got married but we have not made an appointment with the property management to revise the lease agreement.

i think my evidence are pretty strong and they span the Jan 2007 to Dec 2008 period (bank statements, beneficiary info, letters, pics). so it goes...good luck to us all!

yes I think your evidence is fine. Affidavits is just optional.
