Do you know what NBC is? All marriage AOS is adjudicated by the NBC before it's sent to your local field office. ALL.

How to prove that my wife added me as an authorized user to her credit cards? Should we scan the credit cards? Should we look on the website of the banks to see if it’s displayed? 

The problem is, my wife has multiple people as authorized user and we don’t want to display all the names, would it be OK to edit de pictures so we show to immigration that i’m an authorized user? I don’t want them to think we’re hiding anything, but also we don’t want to display infos of other people!

 

Maybe you guys can help us!

Credit card photocopies are fine. You can conceal sensitive information, as the account number and PIN number.

Scan the front of the credit card(it should be same card number, same exp date, and different name).

What I did was call the credit card company and ask for a letter showing my husband as my authorized user. The letter showed how long he was added to my card.

Hi,

 

we’re currently doing an AOS and we have to option to have the lawyer sign our papers as a preparer (or don’t have him since them since we prepared it and he just double checked).

 

For USCIS is it “better” to have papers signed by a lawyer? Does it look better? does it make any difference?

It makes no difference at all.

No, it doesn't look better nor it helps in any way. A lawyer's signature gives no "advantage".

A lawyer should sign the form IF a lawyer was actually involved in the process.

can you elaborate?

USCIS looks at the evidence submitted and the accuracy of the documents........not whether or not an attorney signed the paperwork. Sometimes, attorneys make mistakes and cause delays.

To elaborate,  doesn't improve or lessen or speed up or slow down anything 

YMMV
