US Immigration from Vietnam

Hello Folks,

We are currently working on submitting our I-751 application. I am looking for a little advice about our situation.

I believe we have pretty strong evidence, but I would like to ask for advice on how to present our banking situation:

• We each have our own accounts.
• I pay for basically everything, but she holds a separate account that receives her income from her part time job.
• My name is on her account. Her name isn't on my account.

For the reasoning of why we don't have one account, it's basically this:

• We didn't consider the evidence requirement when we setup our finances. As such, it's just setup the way we would do it otherwise. My name is on her account simply to allow me to transfer money in and out easily, and help her administer it. Her name isn't on my account, because it's kind of a pain to add (Need to go into a branch), and we just never saw fit to need to do this.
• We had two separate accounts in Vietnam, so we just continued to do the same thing when we got here. It acts as kind of a convenient way to do accounting for our finances.

I am guessing we should have a paragraph eloquently saying the same thing as above. Since they are expecting joint bank accounts for all applicants.

However, Which bank statements should we include?

1. My bank statements are in my father's and mine. They show my income, and all of our expenses. But it's not a joint account. Should we include it?
2. Her Bank account is in her name, and mine. It shows income from her part time job, and some discretionary spending of hers. Should we include it?

Here is our other evidence:

• 3 Joint Lease Contracts from 2017 to 2020. Vietnamese documents showing residing address for both parties.
• Closing Documents for purchase of Condo - August 2020 (Deed has not been retrieved yet, we're having issues due to covid)
• HOA Ownership Account Statements since August 2020
• Joint Tax filings and Return Transcripts from 2017 to 2020
• Joint Credit Card - two statements
• Health Insurance for 2020. (We use separate health insurance for 2021 because we thought it might save money.... (which it hasn't))
• Homeowners insurance
• Car insurance
• Payment confirmations showing payment of beneficiary's university education by petitioner.
• 3 print outs showing beneficiary information. (Print outs are basic don't provide account details. From Vanguard and fidelity.)
• 100+ photographs
• ~50 flight/train/bus tickets and plenty of matching passport stamps.

I can't find a topic for August N-400 Filer, so I created one. I just filed it today.

Hit a big of a snag with our immigration process. We're trying to get a police certificate for my spouse - we've already submitted the forms and got a confirmation from her hometown's police department last week that it will be ready today.

But last friday, her hometown got locked down due to the coronavirus situation. We're not sure if we're going to be able to get the police certificate anytime soon. My wife will ask her friend, who is handling the paperwork on her behalf, and see if she can get the papers within a couple of days.

What are our options if we cannot get the police certificate?

1. Wait (it could possibly be several months before things open back up in Vietnam)

2. Submit wife's IV and other civil documents without the PCC, and explain that we couldn't get it due to the lockdown, will provide one at the consulate interview

If we go with the latter, do we need to provide proof that we at least tried? What kind of proof? Copy of the submission form, the confirmation of receipt, etc.?

Or is it better to just wait?

I was going to file I-130 for my spouse and realized the confused information from USCIS web. In fact, I became an US citizen due to my prior marriage; we've divorced for 2 years. I was so sad during that time, so I took time to go back my country. In there, I found my love; and we have decided to get marriage after 1.5 years of being in relationship. Because of Covid-19, we got marriage in my country (out of the US). In order that we can build a future family in the US, I need to bring him to the US. Therefore, in this morning, when I prepared to file I-130 online after creating an USCIS account. I got the following information from there (please see the below snapshot). As a situation I have shared with you guys above, what should I do for his application now? Should I still keep filing I-130 and I-130A as usual? Please advise!...Thanks alot!

Hello all, our filing for I-751 won't be until next year, but I'm gradually try to collect evidences right now. We are currently living with my parents to save money for our own place and will continue to do so. Since we don't have any lease agreement, utility bills or things that couples get when living at their own place, we will probably create an affidavit for my parents saying that we have been living with them.

My parents can speak and understand English, but they cannot read or write English very well. My question is can I write up the affidavit and have my parents sign it and notarized? I will definitely explain the content to them before they sign the affidavit.
