I'm freaking out. When I sent my I-130 in to the USCIS, my husband and I had not been married an entire month. We married overseas while I was on a business trip. He went back to Northern Ireland and I came home to the US. We sent all the "required" documentation with the I-130 and none of the documentation they said we "should" send. My husband insisted that we should only send in the supporting documentation if our required documentation wasn't good enough, and if we sent in any supporting documentation it would just be confusing, like saying something was wrong with our required documentation. Well, we send NO supporting documentation. I'm having a panic attack.

We now have an apartment lease in both our names, a joint bank account, he's mentioned on my car insurance as a non-driver (since he does not drive), and he's on my life insurance as a beneficiary. We have chat logs for several months and boarding passes showing we went to Northern Ireland for a weekend to meet his family right after we married. We have some photographs for Christmas and New Year that we took ourselves, a couple of wedding pics taken by the registrar (seriously with my phone), and he came to visit me on the VWP.

Is that enough evidence in case they send us an RFE? Please help, I'm really in a bad way and shaking. Thanks. :crying:

I'm a dual US/Hungarian citizen (both by birth; Hungarian citizenship verification TBA), and my husband is a dual British/Irish citizen (by treaty) from Northern Ireland. We are atheists.

Affidavits from people talking about your relationship will probably help.

Hugs, dear. You have got a great set of evidence there already.

of those differences between us, for it is not difference which immobilizes us, but silence.
And there are so many silences to be broken.”

That sounds like a good bit of evidence to me, I think they would accept it no problem! My husband and I have been married and living together 2 years and don't have any joint accounts or leases or bills for various reasons. I'm hoping the 2 year` UK marriage visa granted to me will make up for it though...

After all that fuss, the stupidest thing about our RFE is that we didn't get one at all. Oy, now we need to get our act together for the NVC :)
