ROC evidence no joint tax return no joint mortgage

[akochi 0]

Hello. I am trying to gathering evidences. I would like to sent documents by early February since my 2 year GC is expiring in May 10 2012.

We have

*joint bank account,

*Car insurance both name,

*Home owner insurance both name,

*Life insurance beneficiary name shows my name/his name

*Gas bill both name,

*Cell phone bill; family plan

*Trip tickets, itinerary

*Several pictures

*Affidavits letter from parents and friends

*driver's license which shows same address

*several Christmas card or mails which shows both name

However, we do not have mortgage with both name. I ( applicant ) bought house before I met my husband (USC) and he moved to my house after we got married. I was trying to add his name on my mortgage. In order to add his name, mortgage company told me that I had to re-finance. I even could not change the mortgage title name. Currently title name is my maiden name. I have changed my last name after I got married but mortgage title still shows my maiden name. I did not want to re-finance because it would cost a lot of $$$$.

We also did not file tax return together for past 2 years. We have filled "married, separately." Because we had received more tax return if we filled separately, we decided to file separately.

We do not have same health insurance, neither. We have insurance with each employer.

I started worrying if above documents are sufficient to prove our marriage.

Thank you for your help.

I would send both set of taxes showing you both filed as married and showing the same home address for both tax returns.

if you are seriously considering the house, to be added as evidence, go into the county clerk's office, ask what can be done to add your spouse. Some states allow a new deed, or an addendum to the deed.

utility bills are a good bit - i only see gas and wireless phone. anything for electricity or internet service or cable television?

She could do a Quit Claim, but that may freak out the Mortgage Company. I was in the same situation, and it wasn't a problem with the USCIS. We submitted less evidence than she has listed, but we did file joint tax returns. That shouldn't be a problem as both spouses are listed on both returns.

Thank you for your quick reply.

>anything for electricity or internet service or cable television?

My husband name is in the acounts on Electricity or internet, however, his name doesn't show in the statement. I called them and both of them told me that because the space is limited, they cannnot put 2 names in th statement but my husband name is on file. If he contacts them, he has authority to change our account. I asked them if they can out that notation or send me letter shows both name is on the account, but they told me that they cannot....

This doesn't help for evidence documents at all....

I will submit our Tax return anyway since this shows "married" although we filled separately.

Prior to our marriage, my wife had been being included as a dependent on her parent's taxes. We married in September 2009, and for my 2009 taxes, we decided to have her be included as a dependent on her parent's taxes, since that was the last year they would be able to do so, and I filed as "Married, filing separately". For 2010 we filed as "Married, filing jointly". for removal of conditions I included transcripts from both 2009 and 2010 showing this. For the purposes of the RoC (relationship evidence), the married-filing-separately return is still evidence that we were both cohabitating and publicly representing ourselves as married.

HeatDealth,

Thank you for your comment. I've been working in the USA since 2000 and I had filled as single until 2009. 2010 tax year was the first year after we got married.

As you have mentioned, I will include "Married separate" tax return copy as evidence.
