Unfortunately, it seems they believe the relationship was entered into only for the purposes of immigration benefits for your husband. It sounds like you did not have a lot of evidence of a bona fide marriage, so they gave you an RFE to produce more evidence of a bona fide marriage. All you can do now is produce the evidence and respond to them. Good luck.

Did not you submit some other papers such as mutual bank accounts, health insurance, wedding photos?

It sounds like they think your marriage is in name only and that you are trying to fraudulently obtain a green card. What exactly happened at the interview? What explanation did you give for not having your husband on the lease? Your husband not being on the lease for a valid reason would not be enough alone to give you an RFE, they most likely had some other reason that they were suspicious. Follow the document exactly, perhaps consult with an immigration lawyer, and send in the evidence they asked for.

we had separate interviews i went first and when i told the IO that my husband was not on the lease she said that she can approve the i-130 but not i-485. she was a little funny about our wedding because it was only me and my husband and son that attended but my reason for that is i didnt have alot of money to have a big family wedding plus all my family is in different states and out the country so i am planning a wedding reception for december where everyone can attend.

and the reason i gave for not having him on the lease was that i didn't know i could " break" my lease early i was waiting for my re-certification in october. also she said i am committing fraud by having him live with me without having him on my lease. i honestly never knew about an addendum which is to add someone to the lease in between the lease period. but i just signed up for joint life insurance and i will be adding him to my health insurance once he receives his first pay stub ..this is so stressful but i have 87 days to get everything together and hopefully then they grant my husband his greencard.

Hi Indy, I am just looking at your signature timeline and I am wondering...

Was your husband in the US already on another type of Visa when you met him?

I don't see where you filed for him as a fiance' to adjust status from there

If he was here on another type of visa, what kind of visa was it?

[IndyThorpe 1]

he was here on a M1 visa

After RFE, you need to gather evidence more than what you think you need and return it.

I don't believe they are saying you are committing fraud for purpose of obtaining a green card. What I think they're saying is that on your lease, you are suppose to add to lease when someone live with you. I don't think apartments really track this because it's really hard to do..

Get ur hubby added to your lease would be a start...

[missicy 87]

he was here on a M1 visa

I see you married 3 months after meeting each other. If his visa expired about the same time or was about to expire, then that could be another reason why they are suspecting fraud.

[JAPrincess 27]

I am confused

Your earlier posts here on VJ say that you are the immigrant, not your husband...?

I don't understand how something like THAT can be mistaken

Are you the beneficiary, or is your husband the beneficiary???

What is the point of posting something that is untrue?

Ok. I am in the same boat as you as I cannot add my wife to any of my financial things because they all want a social security number. We tried applying for that, but because her i94 card expired, they denied her application. I also will not be able to add her to anything, but here is what you should do.

First, did you tell your friends and family about the wedding? If so, get it in writing from them, and why they could not attend, if you invited them.

Second, affidavits from friends and family that know about your relationship, and that know you live together.

Third, even though you did not add your husband on the lease, I hope you did tell your landlord who he is and that he is living with you, if so, get a letter from him for the same.

Fourth, if your husband has a social security number, there should not be any reason why he should not be on your bank account, if it is still difficult to add him, for whatever reason, add him to your credit card accounts.

Eighty seven days are plenty, but make a list first, and then cross them off. At this time, your best bet is to get as many affidavits as you can to vouch for your relationship, ie that is what we will have to do.

If he doesn't have a ssn and you already applied, you should have a letter of denial stating why, and you may also submit that.

Good luck.
