Just received RFE email notice

[bamarolltide 4]

We just received a text and email telling us an RFE has been mailed to us today, it doesn't say why on the email or text but we are imagining it's because we didn't submit enough proof of us both living together. The problem is here in Alabama you cannot get a driver's license or ID without a SSN, or add the name to the lease, or pretty much get anything without a Social Security Number.

Now after we sent the original paperwork we got life insurance with each other's name on it and we managed to open a bank account with both our names on it, would this be enough?, we already submitted pictures of us throughout the last 2 years of relationship and both our names in a cable/internet bill. Would not having much money in the bank be an issue also?

Thank you for your response, kind of freaking out

It is best to avoid speculating on the exact nature of the RFE until you receive the actual RFE notice. Then, respond thoroughly and quickly to the RFE.

I get where you're coming from being an Alabama girl myself. With the immigration laws I couldn't even get my husbands car tags renewed and I can't add him to my health insurance which is more a hardship for us than just being an immigration issue.

As for your lease, can you visit your leasing office and have him listed as an "occupant"? My husband did this for me since we're living apart and we want to have proof of a bonafide marriage without seeming like we're trying to convince immigration we live together full time. It just shows that I stay in the apartment in his in name and that the landlord is aware.

What about your cellphones? You can be the primary account holder on a family line and have an additional line for him.

Is the joint account where you pay most of your household bills? Not having much money isn't a big deal, but you do need to show you're using it for joint expenses. If you've got a bank account with $100 and you never use it, that looks like you only opened it for the sake of having the account. We had to go out of state to open our bank account as well as get car insurance.

What about your taxes?
