Re: Request for Evidence. I-797E, Notice of Action.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I, My husband's name, am submitting a compilation of the documents requested on I-797E, Notice of Action, however there are some documents requested that my wife and I simply don’t have. I would like to express that my wife and I have a lovely and true marriage, where love and respect are part of our daily lives. We love each other and both of us entered our marriage with good faith. If you believe the evidence we are presenting is not enough to show that our marriage is legitimate, we invite you to come to our home at any time to see how we live our everyday lives together. I also would like to explain that we don’t have any kids because we are a young couple enjoying our time together. My wife is # years old and we are not in a hurry to add more members to our small family. We do have our dog name who we consider to be family and she is more than enough for the time being.

Listed below is a brief explanation of why we do not have the following documents:

1) Copies of instruments affecting the real estate that demonstrate joint ownership of assets or property: We bought our house DATE When we applied to get our loan, my wife had yet to establish any credit history in the USA. Because of credit being a major qualifying factor to obtain a home mortgage, we decided to just get the loan in my name. This was also the advice of our BANK NAME Mortgage Representative, NAME. We talked as a couple and now that she has lived in the USA for a few years she has had the chance to begin establishing credit. So far she has exemplary credit history and in the future she will be added as a co-signer on all future real estate deals.

2) Copies of Insurance Policy: I have included a copy of our homeowner’s insurance policy showing my wife as an additional insured. Unfortunately neither my wife nor I have medical insurance at this time. I am ## years old and I have not had an insurance policy for myself since I was ## years old and listed on my mother’s policy. When we got married we decided as a couple not get insurance because of many factors including the expense. I own my own business and have always paid cash for any medical visits that either of us needed. We understand that the laws are changing and we are now required by the government to obtain insurance. We are currently looking into getting a policy and will obtain coverage this year.

3) Copies of Loan Documents: Besides my home loan that is explained above, I own a used car that was purchased in 20## outright, years before I met my wife. Because I purchased it outright, no loan was required. In March 20## I purchased my wife a 20## CAR BRAND for her ## birthday. The car was a surprise (with pictures attached to document) and as a result a loan was obtained in my name. Until that time we had been sharing one car so I wanted to surprise my wife with a gift that we definitely needed. As it is impossible to have someone co-sign a loan document for a car when you are trying to give them the car as a surprise present, it is easy to understand why that loan is only in my name. It was a # year loan and we have about # years left of payments at this time. Fortunately the home loan and this car loan are the only two loans that we are currently responsible for.

4)Copies of rental leases/ agreements showing Joint tenancy:

See #1. We have a home together but the loan is just under my name. It is not a rental property where a lease would be required.

5)Copies of utility bills: Because our home loan is in my name, most of the utility bills are in my name too which is required by law. For Christmas 20## I bought my wife a new cell phone and had her join my Cellphone company before this she used a prepaid cell phone so there was no monthly bill. Although her new cell phone is also under my name (because it is my plan), we are including copies of my cellphone company bill which shows two unique phone numbers. We are also including call logs that show almost daily conversations between us since December 20##.

Thank you for your time,

Sincerely
