SFu + TFu

We basically sent everything they asked on the list that we could, bank statements, bill, tax info, utilities part in my name and some in his. Credit cards, not joint cause they dont do that, but we each have a card from each others account. Affidavits. Bank state ments do show the bills are paid from our account. We really sent everything. Thanks

For reference, this is what we included in our I-751 package:

• I-751 Application Form filled and singed by the both of us + the check.
• Front and back copy of Tina's permanent resident card.
• Copy of our drivers license and Shon's most current car registration.
• Copy of Tina's work information.
• Four sworn affidavits by U.S. citizen friends, attesting to our relationship and marriage.
• Copy of our 2009 and 2010 W-2 forms.
• Copy of our joint American Express credit card statements, joint ING savings and checking, Bank of America and Citibank statements.
• Copy of our apartment lease renewal contract and Renter's insurance.
• Copy our joint medical insurance and medical summaries.
• Copies of joint auto insurance.
• Copies of our utility bills and cell phone statements.

• Copy of our airline reservations for a vacation back to Taiwan in November of 2010.
• Copy of letters addressed to both of us from friends and families.
• Photos of us with friends and family at events.

Best of luck! Hope this helps.

Finished biometrics today at the Santa Ana, CA USCIS. I arrived at around 8:00AM, and there was already a pretty decent line ahead of me, but was able to finish the process and leave at 8:50AM (approx.). The biometrics took only 10 minutes, it was the line that took a while.

Tip: Definitely helps to moisturize your hands with lotion the night before or the morning of to make the fingerprint part of the biometrics process easier.

We had four of our close U.S. citizen friends each write an affidavit. The affidavits weren't notarized - they just put their name and contact information down including their SSN and noted in the letter that they can be contacted any time for further questions with the provided contact information.

Having a baby can mean one of three things:

1) Forgot to use birth control

2) Ignorant of overpopulation and the fact that raising a child costs about $250,000

3) Aware of the fact that raising a child costs about $250,000 but wealthy enough to make one anyway.

None of these is really evidence of a bona fide relationship. Giving one of the kidneys to the spouse would qualify though . . .

In support of Just Bob's comment, here's some interesting read:

enjoy.

Received the ASC appointment(biometrics) notice today (6/9), date of appointment: 6/21/2011.

Can someone please help update the list? Thanks. : )

Our I-751 package is about 1" thick worth of paper work along with 50 or so photographs of us with family/friends at social events.

I'm not sure how many pieces of paper (or trees destroyed) 1" thick is.
