Our wait is finally over and my prayers have been answered. My husband received his green card on 8-29-13. I was surprised that everything went through so quickly and no interview was needed.

We do have a joint checking account since July 2012 however they are also asking about 2011. We don't have a joint lease but I have a mortgage on the home in my name only since I bought the home in 1995. I can try to put one of the utilities in my husbands name however they wanted something from the time period 2011 - 2012. We are also in the process of buying a vehicle for him to drive which will be titled in both our names. I have our medical insurance cards and I have a letter from my employer showing that I added him to my insurance in 2011. I can also send pictures if it will help. We are in several of my brothers wedding pics. I just hope this will be enough.

They are looking for evidence of joint living and evidence of joint financial responsibility.

A joint lease takes care of the joint living. We need to know your situation in regards to joint living and lease to advise properly.

You can add your husband to your checking account at least now and submit a letter from the bank that he has since been added. If you have multiple utility/ telephone/ .. providers, get one of those changed to your husband's name - they are not looking for both names on one utility but at least one utility with the address in your husband's name also.

What about your joint tax returns, which is a great proof.

My husband and I have been married 3 years. I applied to remove his conditions last November sending in copies of fax reurns, copies of debit cards and bank statements showing a joint account, copies of medical insurance cards showing he is on my insurance at work, copy of my 401k benficiary listing my husband as beneficiary Two weeks ago I received an RFE. They are now asking for copies of bank statements showing a joint account from March 2011 to Sept 2011 and Jan 2012 to Aug 2012. They want financial records and residency proof.

I didn't add my husband to the bank account until July 2012 and he is not on any of my credit cards. He didn't want to be on the credit cards and he wasn't working. We don't have any life insurance and he is not on my car insurance. We don't have any joint loans and his name is not on the utility bills. This may look bad for us but he just got a job in March 2013. My utilities were already established and they will only put one name on the account. He does have a drivers license that he received in 2012 but with him not working he didn't want me to pay the added expense of adding him to the insurance. He does not drive my car but he wants to get his own vehicle now that he is working and I would add him to the car insurance. He works at home so he said there is no need to add him to the car insurance until he gets a car. His name is not on the mortgage because he only recently started working.

I don't know what to do since I don't have the records that they are asking for. Please help, any advice would be appreciated.

My fiance has his interview on sept 29, 2009 in new delhi. He was given a paper stating they will contact him in 30 days. They didn't ask for any other documents. How can we find out what is going on?

Do you mean the documents were not deposited at VFS? Or he didn't receive Packet 3 yet? Please be specific. In the former case, its o.k and you can take the completed documents to the interview.

The documents weren't deposited at VFS. Thanks for answering, now I won't worry so much.

My fiance did not get the documents to the NVC at least 7 days before his interview. The interview is September 29th, New Delhi Embassy. Will they still proceed with the interview? Is it still possible for him to get his k1 visa?

I received notification from NVC that application was approved and forwarded to embassy on April 14, 2009. My fiance has not received his packet or any thing yet from New Delhi embassy. Other timelines that I looked at didn't take very long to recivie the packet. I don't know what to do now. Any advise?

We went through Delhi and it took my fiance a long time to receive the packet in the mail. For some reason it took like 3 weeks for it to make it to him in Noida! We called DOS a couple times a week until they told us that the Embassy had received it, then we printed the forms from online (DS230 Part 1 and the Applicant statement is all you need) and mailed them to the Embassy. We had already mailed them before he even received Packet 3. Same with Packet 4, basically I called DOS twice a week and found out the interview date from them well before we received Packet 4!

Thanks! That makes me feel better. I was worried that they might have lost everything. Did you send anything else at this point besides the SD230 part 1 and the applicant statement?

People's timelines tend to be different. Some have to wait more than others.

Your fiance could start gathering all or some of the documents needed for the interview. Also, you could start working on the Affidavit of Support. The beneficiary could also check the American Embassy/Consulate in India website and see what is needed for the interview. Some websites even have the forms available. This way, when the beneficiary receives the packet from the consulate, they will have something done already, just to make the process shorter. Good luck!

Thanks! That 's what we'll do and I'll call the embassy on tuesday.

How specific do I need to be on the declaration of meeting? Does it need to be written on a separate piece of paper if it will fit on the I-129f?

My finance is in India. He has signed his G-325A and letter of intent to marry, but his signature is just his first name. He says that he signed his passport the same way. Will they reject based on his signature not including his last name? He says that everyone in India signs this way and if he changes then it won't match the signature on his passport.
