Lease as proof of relationship?

[wasabisnack 0]

Hi everyone.

I'm curious about whether or not my husband (UK) and I (US) should use a new apartment lease as one of our evidence pieces (it sometimes feels so weird to throw things that are common, everyday relationship/marriage things into the 'evidence pile'!)

I had to move in September, so we decided to get the apt. together, even though he is still living in the UK awaiting the K3. Today it dawned on me that maybe the lease for the new apt., being in both our names, would be a good form of relationship proof. However, we did 'jump the gun' a bit on getting a place together since the visa application is still pending... not sure if it could hurt us in any way.

Just trying to be extra careful. Any thoughts?

Thanks, as always, for your help/guidance...

Would not hurt as evidence of an ongoing relationship, I would bring it to the interview.

I had a lease agreement as part of my evidence of an ongoing bonafide relationship. IMO include it as it is good evidence. With him coming from the UK you may find as in my case from australia, that none to little evidence is actually looked, but having it all on hand just in case is important.
