Hi, I came here in 2011 as an F-1 student. We have been together since Nov 2013 and got married by June 5 2014. We are about to send my AOS application before Christmas, please, we need your ideas, do you think the pre-loaded evidence listed below is enough?

1)Marriage Certificate

2)Brief Story of us

3)Joint bank account statement

4)Rental Agreement

5) Pay stub mails received to the same address while we were living in another state

6)Facebook chat logs

7)Text messages

8)3 letters from family/friends (Landlord, a friend of my wife, my wife's mom)

9)Photos of us taken in different occasions

10) Birthday card I got from my wife (no date on it)

We don't have any joint bills since our rental include all utilities. I have life insurance (not health insurance) and Healthcare Power of Attorney form with her name listed as well but we thought it is not necessary to submit those, what do you think?

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Hello,

if you read the instructions of i-485 , you will see that you send more than what they ask for.

GO to uscis, forms 485 et read the instructions about the evidence they need, you will understand and it is what they want at least, they don't ask for more.

Maybe for the interview they can ask...

good evening.

Hi sogreeny, thank you very much for your response. That's what I thought after reading the instructions for I-130 actually but I came across some topics in the forum about pre-loading, some members assert that pre-loading the package could make the interview process more smooth but I am not sure if that's just a rumor or the truth at all, I guess going simple is going to be better. Thanks again :)

I would include the life insurance and healthcare and any other documents showing each other as beneficiary. Also, if you have them, 401k/IRA beneficiary, joint vehicle insurance and joint credit card documents. Not sure I'd bother with a single undated birthday card, though.

Thanks for your response. The thing is, we don't have an health insurance but we bought a life insurance package since it was very reasonably priced, I just thought it may look a little weird to have life insurance but not health insurance, what do you think?

You know what i send the minimum they ask for, just joint account and all document they ask in the instructions of 485 and it is fine, it is enough.

i have my interview 20 january 2015.

The trouble was more for i-864 for me and normally we have find solution with my husband.

So don't worry if you have respect what they ask minimum.

Thanks a lot for your responses guys. Here is the latest list we have. Are we going to have a chance to show other evidence during the interview if we don't submit much as sogreeny mentioned? sogreeny did you only include one proof and got the interview notice afterwards without RFE? I really appreciate your help.

Proof of a bona fide relationship

· A short summary of our story

· Rental Agreement

· Proof of old address

· Joint Bank Account

· Letters from family/friends

· Photos of us

· Random text messages

you definitely have a chance to show more evidence during the interview. my husband and i bought so much evidence to the interview, it looked like we were actually trying to set up camp in the USCIS office, like we were each carrying 1 box of evidence plus 1 giant binder. we looked kind of ridiculous.

if it helps you, here's a link that contains a link to my 130/485 cover letter, and you can see what evidence we included in our package.
