I was looking into this but it's taking around 4-6 weeks to be issued an ID so I'm not sure if I should bother or not and just go ahead with the documents I have. I'm pretty sure I sent the deed, I definitely know I sent the closing documents of our home etc. I also did include pictures of us at the hospital and they said 'it didn't prove anything' 🙄

Missabc - be sure to copy ALL pages of the bank statements - not just the first page.
 
Breathe a little!  You'll be fine!

Concentrate on what you DO have instead of what you don't have.  Taxes?  Property deed?  Credit card? Debit Cards? Wills?  Health Care Proxy statements? Other items showing same address for both of you?  You won't be separated from your family since Very, very few I-751s are ultimately denied, so don't make yourself sick with worry. They aren't generally strong evidence, but I think you need a few affidavits.
 
This is what we sent.  Maybe it will give you some ideas.

Missabc,
 
It might be that your evidence did not cover the time from when you married until you applied.  I cannot tell from your letter.
 
Why were the bank statements only from February 2020?  If that is when you opened the joint account, I understand, but if your account existed prior to that, the bank statements should have been from the initiation of the account (or when you were added).  You have a house.  Did you guys pay cash, or is there a mortgage with both of your names on it? 
 
Since you are renting out the house, are the documents proving that you both live together from your house, or from his Dad's house?  It could be that USCIS is very confused about your living situation.  Did you explain any of this in your cover letter?
 
You need to reply to the RFE with the explanation you have given us above.  Talk about where you lived from the time you got married, and show the rental agreements (if that is what you did).  Talk about when you bought the house, and if you lived there.  Talk about when you put the house up for rent, and why, and show where you moved.  Give them a time line that shows your housing movements.
 
Get his Dad to write an affidavit explaining that you live with him, when you came to live with him, and why.  If you help his Dad with any expenses, then he should say that, too.
 
I think your main issue is that you haven't given USCIS a good picture of your story from the time you got married to the time you applied.  Many people miss this point.  You have given them SOME documents, but it doesn't tell the story over the whole time frame.
 
You will be ok.  You just need to cover the time from your immigration to the present day.
 
Good luck!

Yay! Finally an update 😊

Yay! Finally an update 😊

Finally recieved my text late last night. My case has been sent to the Texas branch (SRC) 😁

Welcome aboard! Hop on the Bus!

My interview is finally over and done with!!! 
 
Our interview was at 11.45 and we got there for around 11.30. We signed in and waited around 20 minutes for our number to be called. A nice lady greeted us and walks us around to the interview room asked us how we were etc. In the office we were sworn in. She confirmed the information on our forms such as my name my husbands name, DOB, address etc. Then she went through the generic questions like have you committed murder etc. Then she asked how did we get to this point (relationship, marriage, moving) so we told her our story and she laughed and smiled as we told her and she thought it was funny that we met whilst playing GTA on the Xbox 😂. Then she asked my husband where he works if he still works there, she asked who attended our wedding and how my parents felt about the marriage. That was it! After that she just asked for anything we wanted to add to our file so I handed over a bunch of documents and then she asked if we had any questions to which my husband asked about what i need to bring with me to travel (I already knew the answer to this but he didn't) she said just your passport and greencard. At that point she stood up and smiled and said okay that's every thing and my husband laughed and jokingly said wait aren't we going to be separated and questioned and she laughed and said no that takes to damn long 😂
 
So from that I'm assuming I've been approved but just waiting for my case to update. All in all it was a really nice experience and felt just like a conversation 😁

Happy thanksgiving everyone! 
 
I got an update yesterday evening advising my card has been collected by the postal service! I can't believe how quick the turnaround is. I only had my interview 7 days ago! 

Congratulations! Happy Thanksgiving!

Sounds like an approval! Glad things are working out well for you two. We got approved back on Aug 8th, even though I had lost my job. They asked me if I still worked at X and I was honest and said NO. The person checked the box that I was still employed anyway (I think it was time for her to go home and she couldn't be bothered with it).
 
BTW, it will about 2.5 months for the greencard to actually arrive in the mail after approval. Hopefully it's faster for you.

My fiance just arrived at the US embassy in London for his K1 visa interview. 
 
Don't have a question, I am just so damn nervous I don't know what to do with myself. 
 
We are beyond prepared and feel really confident but those what if's  are currently eating me alive! ( ok, slightly dramatic but I am sure most of you understand!)
 
Fingers crossed!
