Please review my cover letter

[I love San Diego 18]

Hello all, I have just completed my cover letter. Does it look ok? One thing I am not sure of is if I should include the last item of evidence, the jewelry receipts. Is that unnecessary? Thank you!

The letter is fine. Two things:

• What evidence are you presenting to show that you live together? The joint lease agreement merely shows that you took on a lease together, not that you actually cohabit there.
• Do your evidence (where practicable) cover the entire period from marriage to the present?
• Why just one year's tax return? If there's a good reason, I'd add that explanation to the cover letter, or some other document. I included an "evidence guide" with my application to explain such deviations from expectation.

Best of luck!

The lease should be fine for proof of cohabitation, especially in conjunction with the renters insurance.

Send more than one bank statement... most people seem to have the best luck with about 4/year (spaced out quarterly)

Yes, better to include 2015 taxes as well.

Probably the jewelry receipts aren’t totally necessary, but there’s no harm in including them.

Good luck!

ID or driver license showing the same address, Utility bills both names , add the w2 forms with your taxes and bank statements ccover the 2 years since you marriage not just the last one, affidavit of 2 persons that know you from or before marriage, living will and power of attorney can help also .    Good look

your evidences look good. It's enough for requirements for co-mingle assets. 

 

My evidences were not enough. I'm so worried that USIC will send me a RFE. I don't have any joint bank account, don't have joint lease, don't have joint mortage. So, this lacked much important evidences

Thank you everyone, I guess I assumed the lease was evidence of cohabitation... but yes, I will include a drivers license. The reason for not including more tax returns is the ones from previous years were already submitted for the AOS, and I did not do my 2017 taxes yet. A lot of stuff was already sent with the AOS, like joint bank statements and such, but I guess I will put more in there. It won't hurt!

 

Thank you again.

 

Libra55 - I hope everything goes well with your application, it looks like you have a lot of good evidence there.
