We were transferred to Potomac and also asked for more evidence. We have until February to return the evidence request. We were told our tax papers don't look like they came from the irs. They didn't they are from TurboTax after we filed. They said our car insurance don't prove we drive the same car, our travel documents were said to only show we traveled and our bank info was not long enough to prove co-mingling as husband and wife. I am stressed to the max as we sent as much info we read and thought prove our marriage. Now I plan to send our bank statements for the open to now, our dl showing matching address, more pictures and transcripts from the irs website. Please give me more ideas of what to send. I would send utilities but they only show one of our names each. 

 

Life insurance 

Health Insurance 

Power of Attorney/Will 

Copy of DL 

Last 3 years tax transcript from IRS you can get this same on on website 

Renters Insurance 

Affidavit Letter 

bank statements since you opened account until now. 
credit card statements together 

 store card statements like Macy etc

Pictures with Family and friends 

 

if you can send all of these in addition to what you have you should be fine.

Forgot to leave an update but I received my green card on November 27th! Next goal: Citizenship. Thank you everyone and Happy Holidays!

Congratulations! I received mine a day before you and just submitted the N-400 last night. I guess we need to find or start a new forum for December 2019 N-400 filers.

Status changed from "finger prints added to case" (I forget the exact new language) to "New Card is being produced" today. No RFE, no interview. Our interview a few years ago was a scheduling headache and they (2 of them, probably trying to show each other up on how tough they were) were extremely rude people, but did approve us.

Have created a TOPIC in the Citizenship Forum for us to track N-400 processing for those of us who recently filed I-751 ROC during Sept or Oct 2018, as we did:

 

 

 

Profile pic - Rainbow Tower of the Hilton Hawaiian Village - Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii.

Why this for the profile pic?  Often in movies and on TV when they show Hawaii they show this beach/view. So, instead of doing Kauai or some other locale, we decided to do here, so that whenever some show shows Hawaii and this view, we will see where we were married.

We are in the same situation... from same service center... and my husband's Greencard extension is until March... we already have tickets  to travel in June. Scared we will have issues. We didnt have checkings together, just savings. That was an issue. Dont have descriptions on the 50 or more pics we sent them. One of our tax years didnt show up at IRS. Went to the company that did it and they had made a mistake and never sent 2016. I dont know what else to send to prove we are married. Its like how come they dont call us to interview to see if we are. I've sent them all I have . The only extra I can send is this last years taxes we filed together and  we leased a car under both out name this last year. Plus our insurance policy. That's all we can do extra. Would that be enough?

I would write a nice, but formal cover letter explaining your situation. Enclose the Tax transcripts for the last 2-3 years. If the company is willing to provide you with a letter admitting that they made a mistake and forgot to file the 2016 tax, it would help. Make sure the 2016 tax is filed and include a proof of that (you cannot e-file it, you have to mail it- include the receipt from the post office/carrier). Enclose the insurance policy, utility bills, joint credit cards, your joint car lease, your upcoming trip, old trips, pictures (include old and new pictures and make sure they are properly labeled). Anything you could think of that shows that you did things together and that your finances co-mingled.  Try to get 2-3 affidavits from people that know you as a couple well.

 

Good luck!
