4. Marriage cirtificate / the vows taken during marriage

5. Tickets of us flying togather from bangalore-chennai and back and also from India to US - before marriage but wasnt shown at k1 interview.

6. Itinerary for our trip to UK [business visit] on the 9th of june 2009 [ the next day after my interview]

7. Valentines day card

8. Bills - my name with the address we reside in and some bills in his name with the same address [ No joint bills ]

Am also carrying all proof we took for the K1 interview.

Passports

Birth Cirtificates

As long as you've got everything the interview letter asks for, what you've got as far as proof of bona fide marriage sounds fine. Remember, it's all about what makes your marriage unique to you. For us, our IO was impressed by the photos we brought. Honestly, they probably won't even ask to see any of it, but it's really good to have as much as possible, just in case. Keep us posted please. Good luck! :D

trillium13 and destine : thanks guys.. will keep you posted once am done with my interview.

trillium13 : I do have everything as per the interview letter but was worried about the proof as most of them here have a lot of financial proof [ We have seperate accounts as we do not want finances getting us into a dent with out relationship].. we just opened a savings account which is different from our personal accounts.

GheTToJaTTi : We do not have life or health insurance here. I have a lot of life insurance policies back home [which are paid by my savings and by my mom in india]

To be frank we did not have the time or excess money to buy insurance here. I have been working UK hours and due to the economy he is finding it hard to get projects.

We didn't have any joint accounts at the time of our interview. The closest we had was a 401K of mine, with him listed as the beneficiary. We didn't have much joint anything, since my husband had only had his SS# for a short time before our interview. We did fine though, and you guys have more than we did. I know how nerve wracking this is, trust me, but it really sounds like you guys are going to be fine. :)
