APRIL 2010 FILERS

[Nartaki 7]

I started preparing for the interview.

I have the following evidences of bonafide marriage:

1. Affidavit from my dad stating that both of us live with him

2. Both of our drivers licenses showing the same address

3. Joint checking account showing the past 3 months statements

4. IRA account listing my spouse (non-USC) as the beneficiary

5. Life insurance policy listing my spouse (non-USC) as the beneficiary

6. Joint TMobile cell phone account

7. Receipts showing both of us purchasing furniture together

8. Joint credit cards

9. Affidavits from my mom and uncle confirming our relationship

10. Wedding cards from our family congratulating us on our wedding

11. 200+ photos from our dating period, civil wedding ceremony and various social events

12. Letter from my employer listing my spouse (non-USC) as an emergency contact.

We do not have a lease, utility bills or home deed because we live with my parents. All those documents are in their names.

Is this enough? Will we need more?

My interview is for August 4th at 9AM!!

its in garden city, ny which kinda sux cuz there are no subways that go there, so it will probably take us like 2 hrs to get there. anyway i will plan to be in front of the building at 8am and just know where it is and walk in like 8:20 cuz they say not to be more than 45min early. Hell no am i gonna be Late! so i guess we will leave like 5:30am. WIll have to check out the rail system. OHh im soo happy the interview letter is here.

I am soo proud of myself that i sent it all the necessary papers all by myself and didnt get any RFE!

(cuz we were thinking of going to the agency to help us file but that would be 500-600$ for them to fill out the papers for us! Ha i should buy myself something nice now hehe )

We are almost there guys!

I think you have plenty evidence.

are u bringing the affidavit of support again? medical again? I have the medical forms, I believe i have copies of affidavit of support, i dont remember, but if not i will fill it out again and bring all supporting evidence.

I am bringing:

1. Joint checking account proof for past 4 months

2. Past cable bill showing both names

3. Bills showing the same address

4. Husbands Union card where i am listed as beneficiary

5. Joint tax return IRS for 2009 (which i think is big proof cuz no one wants to mess with the IRS.. lol)

6. Appraisal of our wedding rings and my engagement ring worth over $6,000

7. Receipt for our wedding bands dated, with my husbands Name and address

8. Picture Album with Wedding pictures, Engagement pictures and from our relationship around 150 pictures (might print more)

hmm I think that is it,

we might also go and get a letter from the parish we are signed up for stating that we both attend there.

SO i think we both have alot of evidence. its alot of official govt evidence, like tax returns, bills,

you have the tmobile bills which is under contract? so shows long term etc etc...

I think we will be fine.

Happy 4th of July everyone. Besa, sending you possitive energy luv, do you have your outfit picked out? Did u get your heer did (in a dirty south accent)(lol). I'm crazy I know, but I already booked my mani pedi for the day before my interview.

Thanks mami... I usually do my own hair but this time I'm gettin my hair washed, pressed and curled, mani and pedi and french manicure for Tuesday (some places close on Mon, ugh). I gotta have our packet in order (perfectionist ) and have to pack cuz we booked a three-day/two-night stay in PA so I got losta packing to do. Plus Im meeting up with another AOS couple from JA too. Hubby finally got two days off from both jobs so he wont have to be at work until friday evening which should give us ample time to enjoy ourselves. And bad news time: HUBBY LOST HIS RING YESTERDAY; poor thing is soooo mad . I told him it was ok (though it wasnt) cuz its just the devil trying to distract us from the events ahead. We're gonna get him a band tonight or tomorrow. Im so excited and blessed to be in this situation, as bad as it is.

It seems like way enough evidences. :dance:

Good luck!

[Nartaki 7]

Tmobile is not that great, but its cheaper than lots of other phone services. I had verizon before and it was too expensive.

The only concern I have is we dont rent or lease, as we are living with my parents. Would this create a problem for us? Anyone here used an affidavit about the living arrangements?

[choongchoong 1]

OMG~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just received Green Card!!!! :rofl:

That should be fine. As long as your parents state on the letter saying that you guys living together will work.

I read many times from others' who were just like you, they said everything was ok.

There are many people live together with parents these days due to bad financial situation.

Not to worry. Just explain nicely if IO asks. :thumbs:

Yaaaayyyy, how cool is that!!!
