Hey guys. So I know what the generally advised evidence of good faith/bona fide nature of marriage is, however in my case, my wife and I life with her mother, and so all the utilities etc. are in her mom's name and I don't formally pay rent. Prior to this, we lived for one year in a joint apartment with her sister, however it was her and her sister on the lease and the property management was only able to add me as an authorized resident (though i presume that's better than nothing).
Also, we typically like to keep our finances separated, though we had a joint checking/savings account with a credit union which, due to combination of financial hardship and anxiety over checking it, they ultimately closed it due to overdraft/negative balance issues.
Because of her type of health insurance, I was not able to be added even as a greencard holder, and I had a temp job whose health insurance wouldn't allow her to be added either.
So as far as evidence for i-751, what was submitted was:
Copy of our joint Checking and Savings accounts
Copy of our joint Brokerage Account
Copy of jointly filed Tax Return Transcripts
Copy of Car Insurance showing both parties’ names
Copy of Beneficiary’s Green Card – front and back
Copy of Beneficiary’s Driver’s License
Copies of Photographs and pertaining to couples life together.
Signed Affidavits of Support
1.Will the lack of joint home ownership/rent/utility bills potentially cause an RFE or can I somehow explain that it is due to us moving in and living with her mother? Is it worth the hassle of getting one of the utilities amended in my name just for this purpose? Her mom is a bit of a control freak, and I figured that since the i-485 was approved and we mentioned the living situation at the interview which went fine, that it wasn't necessary to get that additional "evidence".
2.I had sent in original copies of our original lease agreement and renter's insurance when filing the i-485, is it still possible or even worth it to request back these original documents to use as additional evidence now?
