Hi K1visaHopeful, Thank you for answering my questions and providing additional insight! We now feel more confident about my case!

Hi Sukie, A cover letter explaining our financial situation does sound like a great idea! Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your ideas, Edward and Jaycel!

Hi Lemonslice, Thank you for your advice! We’ll definitely work on living wills, retirement plans, and savings. I forgot to mention that both my spouse and I are still in school or training, and we only work part-time jobs that don’t offer many benefits like pensions, 401(k)s, or health insurance. My spouse is covered under his parent’s health insurance, while I currently don’t have any health insurance. His phone plan is also under his parents, whereas I have my own plan.

Hello, everyone. I applied for I-485 based on a K-1 visa in April this year. A few days ago, I received an RFE asking for additional proof of our married life since the ceremony. In our initial application, we only submitted our marriage certificate and wedding photos as bona fide relationship evidence. The screenshot shows what the RFE is requesting. So far, we’ve gathered the following evidence: Joint lease agreement Joint auto insurance policy Proof of living at the same address (driver’s licenses, pay stubs, bank statements, Costco membership) Evidence of being listed as emergency contacts for each other at work Additional wedding photos Photos from other life events Sworn affidavits from my spouse’s family After getting married, my spouse and I have taken on different financial responsibilities. He pays for rent and internet, while I cover auto insurance and groceries. We handle the remaining expenses separately. I added my spouse as an authorized user on my credit card, and he added my name to the internet bills after receiving the RFE. My questions are: Should we open a joint savings account to strengthen our case? Will actions taken after receiving the RFE raise any red flags with USCIS? Does the evidence we’ve gathered so far seem sufficient for approval? Do we need to notarize the sworn affidavits? We are aware that we should include a government ID for each of them. I’d appreciate any advice or insight. Thank you!

Hello, everyone! My fiance and I are August 2022 K-1 visa filers and our case is still being processed. My fiance was arrested and charged with drug possession a couple of days ago and has been released. Should we send a letter to USCIS now and explain everything or just wait until we get an RFE? Also, I found out that he has some mental health court records as well. Do these count as criminal records? Should we include this information as well? We were stupid and ignorant when we filed and didn't dig deeper into this. And we marked "no" to the part 3 question4.a. Will this be a huge mistake? Please give us some advice! Thanks 😭
