Good morning, VJ'ers! I have a question for you guys and hopefully you can make my day! I woke up this morning to find a "Card Production" update on my ROC case status. After nearly 9 months could this really mean approval? I think so but I would be overjoyed to get confirmation.

Congratulations Liz&Nate. Did you go for an interview? Did you receive a text and an email?

Thanks so much! We had no interview, just a very long wait. I did receive a text (at 6:00 am, sharp :sleepy: ) and an email a few minutes after that.

Still can't believe it. One more step to go before hubby and I get to just be a normal couple with normal worries, instead of a normal couple with this long, hard process hanging over our heads on top of our normal worries. :goofy:

We sent some affidavits from my husband's parents, evidence of life together and financial comingling: shared bank account, titles of our vehicles in both our names, our tax returns for the last 3 years, rental contract in both our names, utilities receipts in both our names, shared insurance contract, mutual beneficiary agreements for our 401(k)'s and life insurance and will. I was a witness for my sister in law's wedding as well as her maid (matron?) of honor so I sent a copy of her wedding certificate with my name on it as a witness. We sent some Expedia itineraries that showed us traveling together for vacations, plane and train ticket stubs that show us sitting together in these and other trips. And pictures of mostly family reunions.

Now that I list this, I guess it is possible we sent way more than enough. Very safe than sorry I guess.
