Removing conditions when you don't have a house?

[jaske78 1]

Hi,

Shortly after getting married, I suffered a setback, and my job reduced me to part-time. Then my mother, who had been caring for my blind grandmother, became very ill. We moved in there temporarily and began househunting, but now it's very clear: my mother won't recover, and neither will Gran. SoI gave up my apartment (the lease was almost up anyway) we have become caretakers. (Frankly, that was the Better Half's insistence, not my own. I feel really guilty to say that.)

The I-751 asks for proof that we are a couple, that we bought a house or a car, but we didn't, and we cannot afford much with my decreased pay. I am worried that they will not believe us when we come together at the interview and say what we have been up to since getting married. We just don't have a lot of financial documents indicating that we are fused together

Fortunately, we don't have to submit the thing for over a year, so we can still make good decisions, but I don't know what to do. Can you help?

There is a lot of other evidence you can provide, however an affidavit from your family who you live with would be beneficial. I suggest making sure your addresses are appropriately changed to your current location so you have evidence showing you're living together.

Even MPOA for the both of you from your mother and grandmother if possible would be beneficial.

You don't need to own stuff together. What else do you have that proves you are a bonafide couple? Your husband helping to care for your family is a start! Do you have bills in joint names, or at leats both coming to the same address? Joint bank account? Is he listed as your next-of-kin at work?
