Putting a extreme hardship case together?

[Aidee Alcantar 5]

About to start writing the Hardship case for the form I-601A. I know how to write it and how important written evidence needs to be proven. But does anyone have any good advice or recommendations to be stress free? Maybe some advice of how to put it together/organize it should be? Thank you for your time! Would you think putting pictures of when we were dating would also be good? Adding marriage, and after wedding pics too.

We just sent ours off through the lawyer this past Thursday.

Personally, I gathered all my evidence first & wrote my HSL around it to back it up. I took my time over the last 6 months getting my medical records first, then financial docs, docs showing I'd added him to as many credit card accounts as I could, as well as some of the cheaper insurance options through my job/dental/vision/life insurance etc, since I can't afford full health insurance for him. When it came out in January that this would start in March, all I had left to do was get the support letters written, make copies of my last 4 pay stubs, & the last month of each bill we have, which was amazing, stress wise. Rather proud of myself for that. I just wanted us to be ready to jump when it opened and we would have sent it off right after it opened (instead of 2 wks later) if our lawyer hadn't pushed our appt to fill out the 601A application until this past Thursday.

I copied/pasted the guideline for the friend/family support letters into an email for them to follow format-wise, & above that asked them to mention something about either how much we rely on each other financially or how close we are to back up my points, and asked my mom & dad to mention their health issues to back up my points about them relying on us as well. I also included my dad's disability rating from the VA, which is extremely helpful (hardship wise) itself, because he's about 240% disabled. My doctor mentioned both parents & their health problems in his letter about my issues as he's their doctor too, but I didn't ask him to, he just is awesome like that. <3 Basically I just made sure everything overlapped, because it really does all affect us if we are separated for long.

She told me the 2 DR's letters I got were more useful than the medical records I gathered (to back up the DR's letters lol) but she may have included them too, so I'd focus on your letters if you get any.

For the waiver packet/pictures, the paralegal asked me to bring more recent pics of us with our families together (so I took her about 30 from current day, dating back to when I sent off the pics for our I-130). I watched her fill out some pages on her computer where it looked like she had an outline for what all was in the packet & listed the documentation we provided under each section. On the title page of the waiver packet, she put 2 pics of me & my husband just us, next to 2 pics of us with our 2 sets of parents in the pics with us. She wrote a title at the bottom talking about how unified we are. (Corny but the office has a 97% waiver approval rate so i guess it works. LoL)

I hope all this helps you and others!!!
