What to bring to your interview if you dont have much solid proof?

[Nursingchick17 4]

My husband and I have been together for six years. I lived with him in Europe in our own place then returned here to start school. Both of us cannot work of course he cant because he doesn't have an EAD and I cannot because I am in a vigorous course so that resulted in us staying with my parents until we have everything settled. We are also pretty young (early 20s). So we dont have any bills under our names, dont have a mortgage or will, or any of that. We are also of course broke and weren't able to have a proper wedding ceremony. We just got married and had a dinner. My issue is this will look terrible for them but the reality is we are just a young broke married couple, we have been living our life together and everything is great, but I am not sure what type of proof we can use. Thank you!

Please fill in your timeline.  It will assist others in knowing exactly where you are in the process.......Thanks.

BTW, please be aware of the I-944, used by USCIS to decide whether an immigrant is likely to become a public charge....good luck.

I dont have my exact dates remembered but we applied in early December, biometrics was done march 2nd and we sent in response to an RFE on April 2nd and are awaiting a response now. That form  isn't applicable to us as he had been in the country since November.

Here’s what I would do: joint bank accounts(!!!!), photos from the last 6 years including each other’s families, possibly chat logs, the European rental agreement, a written statement from your parents that’s you guys live with them, photos from the wedding, proof of your student status, possibly a letter explaining the situation and plan for the future.. l honestly believe you’ll be fine! You are young plus you’ve been together for a super long time! There’ll be a human sitting in front of you at the interview and you guys don’t come across like a denial case at all   Of course this is all just my humble opinion, but I really think you’ll be fine 🧡

Thank you K&K, I appreciate your kind words. We actually do have a joint account but of course since we both don’t work there isn’t much in there 😂 lol! That’s some great suggestions. I appreciate that. Maybe also our renting agreement that we had previously when we lived together in Europe. Thank you so much. Happy Easter!

Keep pushing girl, you got this 😊🙏

Also put together Wills and both medical and regular power of attorney. These

 are a few  more documents for the interview.

You can bring your evidence from your time in Europe also.

 

I’m really curious as to why you didn’t marry during your time in Europe? It would have saved money, cut out this step and also meant your now-husband could have been working since the day you arrived (and you might not be so broke). Might be useful for others contemplating their options to know what attracted you to the K-1?

As I said we aren’t in the financial postition to have any of that. I’m looking for recommendations that are best for a couple in their early 20s that don’t hav emu has in life yet. Thanks.

That’s kind of personal but I guess I’ll say I was very young. I moved to be with him when I was 18, and I didn’t feel ready to marry him yet. Yeah I know we are very aware of that now but it is what it is now we are trying to make due.

It does not matter if you are financially in a position. It can be done for almost no money and they look at those as good things. Showing there is a long term commitment, They can be changed at a later date as you do better financially. But these are good documents to have for proof of your commitment.

Sorry, I don’t know much about those things. So can a spouse be a POA? Thanks and if so, where would you apply for that? Thank you.
