by way of update, we saw online that my husband's GC was approved March 31. We turned our RFE around quickly and included
-tax transcripts and 2015 return
-savings account statements since inception of account($ only goes in, not out)...voided checks from our personal accounts to prove the contributions were coming from both of us
-a letter from me explaining why we haven't taken out major loans and why mortgage and all bills are still in my name
-health insurance print outs from website showing coverage with 3 diff providers from around beginning of marriage to now
-2 copies showing coverage on car insurance for my old car and new car ( he only had permit during these times)
-copy of my license, his id card, then his license
-affidavit from family friend
The RFE was in their hands for about 4 days... received on March 28 approved March 31. We are obviously pleasantly surprised by the speed!
Thank you for your help.
As my last 2 cents on the topic I would say that I don't agree with the oftentimes flippant suggestions I see in response to other's RFE questions to "go online and fill out POA or a will." These are serious legal docs with serious implications regardless the outcome of the marriage. To suggest to people whose emotions are often running high and stressed looking for answers to "fill out a form" online is reckless and may, in a few cases where people are unaware and uninformed, do them a dire disservice. Of course it is their responsibility to be informed but I think the suggestion of the ease and availability and "no cost" of such docs can easily sway people who otherwise wouldn't consider such a serious document.
