I'm in the same basic situation (I was in the U.S. visiting my boyfriend, we got married after 6 months and we have now been married for 3 years. We don't have a lot of money, so it took us that long to save up).

Like you, I don't have an SSN yet, but we were able to get my name added to:

Electricity bill,

Garbage Collection bill,

Internet Bill,

Phone Bill.

When he renewed his credit card, he was also able to get a second one for me, in my name (still his account tho).

We also had the taxes for the past three years amended to Filing Jointly Married (our previous tax person had given us bad information and said that my husband had to file as Single because I didn't have an SSN and therefor could not be added. We spoke with H&R Block and learned that we can in fact file Married Jointly and use an ITIN for me, instead of SSN.)

To our package, we are also adding random receipts that feature both our names. For example, we had to take one of our dog to the vet a few times. One receipt is in my name and another is in his.

I have also seen people including membership cards to Costo and things like that.

We are also including affidavits from friends and 6 pictures (2 from the wedding and 4 from random every day life).

*** edit ***

There ARE companies that refuse or cannot add a second name. In those cases, we had them add me as a "contact person" or "authorized user" and had them mail us a letter stating so.

If she is only adding your name to the bill they can do it without SSN, I was able to add my husband even before we were married - I added him to the cable, telephone, light and gas, it became effective immediately. Im in NY so it might be different. If she can get it done and they make it effective immediately you can go online line if she has account set up and print out the statement. Good Luck!

lack of SSN is not an issue , usually.

lack of 'other evidence' CAN BE A PROBLEM.

live with parents, you say ?

can get :

1. internet access account, through spouse, with both names on it

2. satellite tv account, through spouse, with both names on it

3. cell phone accounts, through spouse, with both names on it

Good Luck, however it goes, ah ?

Don't worry, I came here on a B1-B2 and we couldn't add our name to ANYTHING, the only thing we had with both of our names in it was the lease for our apartment. We just told the interviewer that we couldn't add me to anything and he said it was ok. Just make sure you have other proof like photos and stuff.

I have heard of people living with their family having those family member write up an affidavit staying that they live with them, and/or pay rent and/or utilities.

If you worked these 6 years, you will need to pay income tax now. For that you don't need a SSN, but an ITIN, which you can apply for by printing out the form from an online source.

Remember Uncle Sam requires you to pay taxes like any other resident, and you have been a resident for 6 years now. This can more backfire than anything else. It's called tax evasion, which is a felony.

When my wife and I went for our marriage based AOS interview, the IO never even looked at anything. He just asked us some basic relationship question. Take as much evidence as possible and be able to explain why you may not have something. We did not have an SSN for my wife and we were approved. When we went to get her SSN, the guy said that he could not find her info in the DHS database. He made copies of our paperwork and said we should get a response in 30 days. We heard back 2 months later and he said he everything checked out, but that we could not get an SSn for my wife because her I-94 was too close to expiring. Try not to worry. As long as your relationship is based on love and IS genuine, then you have nothing to worry about. Good luck and God Bless!
