• Copy of our lease with a roommate  
• Copy of our bank joint account
• Copy of our car insurance both in our name
• Copy of  California ID card with the same address 
• Copy of a letter card from husbands mom and Godparents congratulating the wedding
• Copy of mails showing same mailing address
• Selection of pictures supporting our history of relationship and marriage
• Husbands social media post

These are the only things I have for now since We are living with a roommate and all the utility bills are under her name.

 

What else do i need as a proof of our marriage?

US tax filing mentioning each other as spouse is a good piece of evidence.

We are gonna file next year. We just recently married 2 months ago. Is it too soon for me to file an AOS? Should I wait?

No, file with what you have. Keep collecting evidence to bring to the interview. There is no benefit in waiting. You want to get the AOS filed as soon as you can.

That is my Husband social media post about our relationship timeline from the year 2015. I screenshot all the dates and years from 2015 to 2019.

 

Thank you. I am on H1b visa my employer wants to sponsor me for green card but my husband told me it is better if He is the sponsor.

Hmm, how long have you two been married? Only reason is if by the time your green card is approved, and you will be more than 2 years married then you get a 10 years green card. No removing of conditions, less costs and less headache.

 

I actually was in the sort of the same boat. My employer started the sponsoring process and then I got married to my wife who was already a US citizen. I went with the employment route because I wanted a straight 10 years green card plus employer paid all the costs for immigration. However, you gotta evaluate your employer as well to see what the chances of successfully filing an EB petiiton (Size, do they have a lawyer, how many of these immigration cases have they done, ... ) My employer was a very large public state-owned Univeristy, 15,000 employees, 40,000 students . They have an entire imigration department with lawyer and paralegals dedicated to filing immigration petitions for their employees and visas for foreign professors, seasonal professors, guest lecturers from overseas, .... and they've done this year in and year out so I was very comfortable. Otherwise, I'd go with the spousal route. Just my 2 cents.

We just recently married like 2 months ago. My employer is a big hospital so I guess thats good. They are sponsoring one of my co worker too. My employer processed it 2016 and 2019 she just got her EAD no greencard yet. So I thought spousal route would be a much faster process maybe?

Thread is moved from the K-3 Process forum to the "AOS from WS&T Visas" main forum -- OP would be adjusting status.

[TBoneTX 43,048]

Draft wills, general and healthcare powers of attorney, HIPAA releases, and similar documents.

These are excellent proof for AOS and for Removing Conditions later.

They're even more valuable to have in "life."

That is such an excellent idea. Thank you for sharing
