Interview Stage: Proof of Relationship

[swe_jill 7]

My husband has his IR-1 interview in Stockholm next month and I'm finalizing the paperwork that will be sent along with him. We have been married since 2011 and living together continuously since 2009. We have two kids together, own property, joint bank accounts. etc. Question: Will he need to provide further evidence of our relationship, for instance photos or correspondence? This is a line item on the generic "what to bring" checklist, listed separately from marriage certificate. At this stage of our lives our messages are mostly "what do you want for dinner" or "buy toilet paper" and 99.9% of our pictures are of the kids  Thanks in advance!

Good to know, thank you. Yes, we've been living together since 2009 (in Sweden and elsewhere). I submitted proof of domicile to the NVC, including tax, banking and voter info, plus proof of a secured residence once we return to the US. I'll send that info along with my husband to his interview, in case it's needed. Thanks again!

I think it's best to have as much evidence as possible. Photos of you together and your children would be good.

He can bring it but the US Embassy in Stockholm don’t usually view things brought to the embassy, or at least that’s what it was like a couple of years ago when I went through.

 

Don’t worry, you live together, you have more than enough evidence.

Thanks all. Yes, our kids just recovered from the stomach flu, so all of our recent texts and emails have been about diarrhea, vomiting, and needing the other to stop at the liquor store on the way home. It's gross, but definitely shows that we are married
