I-751 evidence, military related

[Ed&Midori1031 330]

Hey everyone, nothing that I'm freaking out about, but had a quick question: 

 

First of all, I'm about to submit my wife's ROC package, and I'm in the process of collecting all the evidence.  Here's the story:  I'm active duty Navy, and from January 2020 until the end of August 2020 I lived in on base housing.  If you're active duty, or prior military, you would know that you don't pay utilities, nor rent when living in on base housing. Then, I conducted a PCS (transferred).  In addition, from the beginning September 2020 until the end of October 2020, I stayed in an Airbnb rental due to my PCS move until moving into the new apartment, waiting for my household goods to arrive.  I obviously didn't pay utilities, just the cost of lodging for the Airbnb.  Then finally at the end of October, moved into the new apartment.

 

My question is, is it going to be an issue that I cant provide evidence of utilities or rent for basically an entire year that covers our marriage before ROC?  I do have the copy of lease for our on base housing, so that's good.  Any info helps, thank you for your time!!

Should not be an issue. if they want evidence, they will ask you. Dont freak out about it unnecessarily. Explain your situation if you are asked about your Navy work

So long as you tell the truth and explain your situation (which makes sense and you can provide paperwork to prove you were in active duty), you should be fine. Good luck!

I'm sure once they see the orders, and the lease, everything will me fine.  Thank you!

Many couples do not have utility bills in both names, as the utility companies often do not allow it.  Same for leases, mortgages, etc.  If you have plenty of other evidence (joint bank account since marriage, insurance, documents showing you both live at the same address, etc.) you should be fine.  Maybe include a cover explaining your situation.  Good luck with the ROC process!
