Evidence of bonafide marriage

[Bigmeg 5]

Hi VJ family, my removal of condition is almost here and I’m preparing towards it. However, I will like to solicit with you all to advise me on documents that should be provided. Though, I read some requirements online but nothing beats general contributions from those who went through the same process and experience it first hand. My wife owns the house we live in so we do not have shared utility bills or mortgage. Also we don’t have shared liabilities or copay on anything. However, I pay the utility bills but the bill itself doesn’t reflect both our names. Please your contributions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Credit Cards showing both on joint account with same card number.
Amazon delivery label showing both names and our current address.
Wife's Military Dependent ID card showing me as the sponsor.

Texas Health Care Directives appointing each other as sole health care proxy(Advanced Directives)
Our Texas driver's licenses with same address for both of us

Pictures of us on special occasions here in the US.
Car Insurance Cards showing both of us as insured drivers for our car

The fact that both of your names are not on the same bill is not totally uncommon.

If they refer to a shared asset or expense you will be fine, e.g. if YOU pay one utility at your house, and you spouse owns the place, and pays a different fet of utility bills at the same address, then you are still covered. They will understand that.

 

And whenever you feel uncomfortable, include a short, clear statement explaining the situation.

 

Don't sweat it too much, they can add two and two, with a little help from you.

You give USCIS far too much credit. They would struggle to count past ten without taking off their socks

There are several things that you can do to show that you live there:

1. Your driver's license should reflect the address where you live. Same for your spouse.
2. If the utility bills do not reflect your name, your wife can create an online account and add your name as an authorized user. You can print that page that shows your name. You can also add your payment method. Hopefully, this is your checking account or ideally a joint checking account. 
3. You two should have a joint checking account, and use it to pay for joint responsibilities - like utilities.
4. If your wife has homeowner's insurance, she should list you on it.
5. You can also sign up for USPS informed delivery and show that you receive mail at that address. For AOS, my spouse and I both signed up for USPS Informed Delivery and showed that we had unrestricted access to each other's email. (You can see images of each other's mail.)
6. Health care directive or power of attorney. You can authorize each other to make health care decisions for each other in the event that either one of you is not able to. USCIS takes this document very seriously.

Of note: your evidence starts since the date of your marriage. That is very important. USCIS wants to see evidence since the date of your marriage.
