Nothing can possibly change in six years. And one persons opinion is how everyone that works for immigration does things. I don't think so. I know for a fact what they look at and what they deem necessary or acceptable comes down to personal taste outside of what is required.

Yes it does. As a fact people lie. Affidavits are low on evidence because of this. I'm not saying don't submit them if you want to. I sent one. But compared to a will, a joint title or mortgage, joint credit cards, etc... it is low evidence. They're not great, but granted, they could be better than nothing.

Understanding also that a notary confirms identify, and watches you sign, does not make the material therein any more truthful.

In regards to adding each other to credit cards, if we do this now, will uscis just look at it as we are doing it because they usually look for it? What I mean is, like its a reaction for us to add each other instead of us having done it already. Do I make sense? Lol

I think they really want to see your co-mingling of finances as much as possible - so deed to house, rental agreement in both names, wills, life insurance, health insurance, all house bills in both names, bank account both names, married joint tax returns for all years you have been living here together. If there are some you haven't sent, send them. If you don't have in both names, try your best to get in both names and then send. Otherwise, explain why you don't have those. I explained why the home loan is in my name, not both, because I had it before he came here, but I have the deed in both our names. I did get a letter from my brother and my landlord with their contact information regarding former housing situations because we weren't both on the rental leases. I had to re-send bills, car titles, housing information, because originally had only one of our names on some of them. The utility companies made it hard to put two names, but eventually I insisted to get them somehow, if only our first names since we have different last names.

If you think you can get them, go ahead. We don't have any credit cards whatsoever, and I explained this. What matters is that they see that you are both liable for your finances, so whether you did it before or do it now is not the point, but to have that co-mingling.

A few days ago me and my wife received our ny state tax refund check. On the outside it shows both our names and our current address. Would this be good evidence as well?

I don't know if it's good, but we added it to our RFE package.

I can attest to the fact that co-mingling of finances trumps anything else you could possibly send in.

Just got an RFE on my I-751. Sent in wedding pictures from Hawaii, vacation pictures clearly showing us together in 8 different states and 4 different countries, spanning a time period of 3 years.

The RFE asks for more evidence of joint ownership of assets, joint responsibility for liabilities and joint residence. The joint medical and auto insurance policies we sent were insufficient because the ones we sent weren't recent enough, and they asked for a copy of every bank statement from every quarter that we've been married. Time to mine for financial-anything documents.

My lawyer says affidavits are the "icing on the cake" - Nothing more, nothing less.

Instead of just sending a copy of our lease, because we just signed our second renewal, our leasing agency gave use a letter that said we both lease the house....when we moved in and our current lease end date. Do you think this will be sufficient for that portion at least?

That should be good. Make sure it has the dates on there.

Thank you! You send everything, think it is great but once you get the NOA and wait for the other steps you start second guessing everything you mailed in.

[JayJayH 546]

Sure thing.

Again, as long as you have evidence of co-mingling of finances consistently dated from the time of PoE up until the time of filing, you have nothing to worry about.
