7:00 AM, started right on time. This was probably the first case the officer had ever done, so she needed a bit of help from someone else.

She said almost immediately our evidence was insufficient. (We don't have any debt, so no mortgages/leases/credit card bills). Since my wife doesn't drive, even car insurance was no good.

Didn't look at pictures, cards, letters or anything like that.

So, the RFE is for notarized affidavits from friends (no problem), and financial documents.

Does anyone have some advice about what we can send them? Most of our assets are in the name of our business, of which my wife is an owner. (They do have proof of this)

Tried to. Several banks. No good, they needed an in-state driver's license or Green Card... Kind of a catch-22. This seems to be Florida-specific (my wife has out-of-state bank accounts, but has been unable to open one here). Working on the driver's license still.

Insurance is a good idea. Wasn't possible yet, my policy had a 6-month blackout for adding anyone (marriage didn't work, since it was an in-state residency requirement). In any case, separate policies ended up being substantially cheaper for us. I guess we could write a new policy for a few months and cancel it, seems kind of silly though.

I think our problem was more related to the fact that we have few non-business financial accounts, period.

Anyway, advice to others - they seem to like you having a lot of joint credit cards and debt.

Specifically, they asked us for a joint mortgage, joint car loan, or joint credit cards. Joint tax return didn't cut it. Joint ownership of busines didn't either. They wouldn't even look at pictures, letters addressed to both of us, or statements from people known to us.

I live in Melbourne Florida and my husband and I have a joint bank account at Wachovia. We opened this with only my Canadian passport and birth certificate. I would go and give them a try!

Good luck

A joint bank account always works. We never try, we never know. If I were you, I would go to Wells Fargo Bank or Washington Mutual Bank, I think they just want to have something that can identify yourself. Or they might need you to show them one of your credit cards or debit cards. Try everywhere, it's worth to spend your time with this stuff. After you get approved, no more hassle. Good Luck!!!! :D

Thanks Russ. We are in the same situaion as you. She doesn't drive and I haven't been able to put her on my health insurance yet. Now I will start working on the joint bank account and credit cards. We don't have an AOS interview date yet, just a biometrics appointment.
