| Weaker than normal financial ties evidence |

My wife and I will be filing our joint I-751 this coming week. For whatever reason, our financial ties evidence isn't as strong as some would suggest that it be. For instance, the house is in my name only, and we don't have a joint bank account or investment account. But there is at least some reason for this. When we bought our house in November 2020, she did not yet have a SSN due to the Covid shutdown of the SSA that year. So.. with my wife having no SSN or credit history in the U.S., I had to apply for the mortgage loan singly. Somehow that ended up with the house deed being in my name only. Admittedly, we could have changed that by now, but I just never got around to it. When she did finally get her SSN she opened her own investment account. She works as a Registered Nurse. Neither of us even has a bank account because we don't really need one. The evidence for our financial ties is as follows. 1) IRS tax transcripts. Three years (2020-2022) of Married filing jointly. 2) The joint lease of an automobile dated October 2022. 3) She is the beneficiary of my life-insurance policy from work. 4) Her name has always been included on our shared Automobile insurance and homeowners' insurance. 5) Monthly statements from one shared credit card that is frequently used by us both. It would seem to me that this would be enough financial tie evidence to establish that my wife and I have a strong committed relationship and marriage. Thoughtful opinions on this?

We are scheduled for our interview on May 30th and preparing our documentation. On the packet 4 email it says "Birth certificate (Petitioner and Beneficiary)". The Petitioner and Beneficiary part is in bold as well. In my research I did not see the beneficiary birth certificate being needed, I have included in my i-134 multiple years of tax documents, passport, bank statements, etc. Is this a new requirement or is this a function of the packet 4 being used for multiple visa types? I can send one to her (I have almost a month) if needed but I wanted to check here first. Thank you! J

My daughter is sponsoring both her father and me on separate visa petitions. We have requested and received consideration to arrive together. (Thank you to the person here who suggested that.) We are unclear about how to count her household members. Part 3, Number 2 on Form I-864 says to not count anyone immigrating on a separate petition. Yet, it seems that we should both be counted as she'll be sponsoring both of us at the same time. Can anyone give us direction on this? Thank you!

| K1 Packet 3 checklist - forgot to checkmark one thing; is it sufficient to bring what I forgot to the interview? |

I already submitted my online DS-160 application for my K1, and part of my submission was a scanned copy of the filled checklist (see picture below). The problem is, I neglected to checkmark the "Death and/or divorce certificate(s) for petitioner and for beneficiary, if applicable." My sponsor has a divorce decree, which we also submitted during the I-129f stage. Is it enough to bring the divorce decree to the interview, or should I also do something else (e.g., contact the embassy to explain this mistake?) Thanks!

Our daughter has applied to sponsor my husband and me. We've each just received a separate email with an NVC Case Number and Invoice ID Number. We plan to arrive together. When I enter our numbers, it seems I am taken to separate forms for each of us. Should we both be creating our case on one form with one as the Principal Applicant and the other as the Derivative Family Member?
