I-751 Evidence Advice RE Phone Bill

 Share

6 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.  Like many here I am now working to compile all of the evidence for my wife's removal of conditions (90-day period begins 12/22/2019) and I have seen a lot of discussion about phone bills and how useful they can be included in evidence.  However, I have a predicament.  I have statements from my Ting Mobile account dating from the month of my wife's immigration to the US (that's when I switched carriers, and also when I moved apartments to where we live together now).  The only useful information shown on the statements is the amount of devices used (2) and usage amounts, and the bill is in my (the spouse's) name.  Now... The problem is I forgot to update the billing address when I moved!  I accept this as simple stupidity on my part, as it is one of my auto-pay bills and we are mostly paperless these days and I just make sure the amount looks right every month before the money goes through and never gave it a second thought for these two years.  Should I even bother including this in my evidence?  I feel that this is a weak piece of evidence for us and might create more questions rather than help our case.  Would an explanation of this discrepancy be helpful?  I'm feeling confident in other areas of our evidence list, but this has been bothering me a bit as our utility bill is also only in my name and we don't have a lot in terms of joint bills outside of a joint credit card we use monthly.  Any help would be appreciated.  I realize I am probably overthinking this!

 

Thank you for your time!

I wouldn't worry about the phone bill...it is weak evidence, imo......I would throw out the phone bill and concentrate on QUALITY evidence such as financial mingling, property ownership, insurance documents, etc........

Understood, missileman...  We will focus on other pieces of evidence, of course.  Thanks so much for the timely reply, it helps to see that list as well.  Perhaps seeing the awe-inspiring stack of evidence from the stickied thread has really got me overthinking everything haha...  Thanks again.

Missileman is correct in regards to phone records and chat logs especially for ROC. It is about the quality not quantity of evidence you are presenting

Unless a couple is living apart for whatever reason.

 

To the OP, I agree with the above learned members, phone logs, chat logs, etc, are not big evidence and when my wife went through the ROC, we did not include them at all.  Now if you were living apart for any reason (job, school, etc.,), then they may be helpful.

 

Good Luck!
