I can't believe that our interview is in two days! I was pretty calm until this morning when I started to get organized.

I keep getting hung up on the Evidence of Bona Fide Marriage. Here is what we sent with our package: Marriage License, Deed in Joint Names, Copy of Joint Bank Account showing ownership since 2008, Copy of Home Owner's Insurance, Copy of Beneficiary Designations on Life Insurance, Sworn Affidavit from my (petitioner) Father.

Now I feel like this isnt enough and I'm starting to get nervous. We plan to bring copies (or originals, as appropriate) of everything we submitted as well as a sampling of pictures from the last 8 years of our relationship.

Any suggestions? Is this enough?

Was there anything else that you brought (that wasn't requested on the Notification Letter) that you thought was helpful?

It sounds like you've got really good evidence. Most interviewers seem to like photos, especially photos that show you interacting with each other's family and friends.

We also brought cards that were addressed to both of us, and some bills in both our names, the receipt from adopting a new dog (in both our names).

From everything I've read, and my own experience, they seem to like co-mingled financial stuff and pictures the best.

You'll be fine. Good luck!

I can't believe that our interview is in two days! I was pretty calm until this morning when I started to get organized.

Here is what we sent with our package: Marriage License, Deed in Joint Names, Copy of Joint Bank Account showing ownership since 2008, Copy of Home Owner's Insurance, Copy of Beneficiary Designations on Life Insurance, Sworn Affidavit from my (petitioner) Father.

Now I feel like this isnt enough and I'm starting to get nervous. We plan to bring copies (or originals, as appropriate) of everything we submitted as well as a sampling of pictures from the last 8 years of our relationship.

Any suggestions? Is this enough?

Was there anything else that you brought (that wasn't requested on the Notification Letter) that you thought was helpful?

How did it go?????????? Any suggestions?? Mine is in a few weeks and already FREAKING OUT! Hehe, any insight is greatly appreciated! I hope your interview was a major success!!!
