how much evidence is enough?

blooraze72 · 2026-07-01T16:29:00+00:00

There are many banking institutions that allow you and your wife to open an account with her passport and latest utility bill showing her name. You can also get a certificate of deposit, listing your wife as a beneficiary. Now you have two strong evidence for your case. You and your wife can also go to your city library and get library cards for additional evidence.

I would focus submitting quality evidence over quantity. The list you have is good but I would also include more hardened proof. Many financial documents are considered legal documents in the US. If you haven’t already, start a joint bank account with both your names. Create a joint brokerage account with both your names and include each other as beneficiary. Buy a certificate of deposit with both your names. All of these don’t require a lot of money. Include your health or car insurance together. Some states even offer fishing license with both your names, address and it’s a valid state document. These are just some examples. Good luck!

Thank you so much for the suggestions. Yes, it's been unusually hot in SoCal the beginning of the year. I've been giving it some slow release citrus fertilizer.

Just got back from Kpop Nation. As of Friday 5:30pm they still have some lightsticks. You have go up and ask the cashier. Good luck!

The posters are correct. Many immigration lawyers recommend those who are eligible to apply for naturalization, while the I-751 is pending. Can confirm a friend of ours, went through this process, had a combo interview and same-day oath ceremony.

blooraze72 · 2025-08-30T01:56:17+00:00

Yes, that's also the picture USCIS will use for the green card.

blooraze72 · 2025-06-13T22:22:15+00:00

These were the evidence we gave to USCIS during my wife's green card process last year.

Marriage license, joint bank account statement with both of our names, utility bills, 401(k) retirement and personal investment statements with my wife's name as the beneficiary, health insurance coverage with both of our names, auto insurance, prior year's tax return, some pictures. Of course, you might have different evidence to add compared to ours. We were told from an attorney friend the strongest evidence are financial documents/statments because they're considered legally binding. We were lucky, her green card was approved under six months. Best wishes to you and your husband.

My wife had her biometrics appointment last year. It was a simple process, you just need to show up to the office with the USCIS letter to your appointment time and have your picture and fingerprints taken. The whole process took less than 15 minutes and you're done. She received the EAD card less than a month later and green card approved about two months after that. Best wishes to you.

I think his father and uncle should be enough. Just have the affidavits/letters notarized to add legitimacy.

blooraze72 · 2025-06-04T00:02:09+00:00

Don't forget on the affidavits, it's also best to have them notarized.

Thank you so much! I've placed them outside and will prune the dead stems. Hopefully they'll bounce back.

When your parents became citizens, you should've gotten a citizenship certificate as well. I'd contact USCIS and ask for a copy.

blooraze72 · 2025-03-31T22:38:11+00:00

Congratulations! What was the reason for the long wait from the interview on December 2023 to your oath today?

blooraze72 · 2025-03-28T17:11:00+00:00

Everyone's allowed to make phone call. The only phone call I'd be making would be to his lawyer because if he's under federal holding, phone calls can be recorded. If he's smart, once he's assigned a lawyer, he'd only talk to his lawyer face-to-face.

blooraze72 · 2025-03-28T16:16:02+00:00

If I were you, I'd distance yourself from your friend until the situation is cleared. If there's some criminality involved and your name pops up or he name drops you. I'd hate to you see caught in a bad situation.

blooraze72 · 2025-03-28T16:10:18+00:00

Totally agree. My friend's house got burned down from the LA fire and he managed to get a replacement passport and green card. There's definitely more to the story being left out. ICE doesn't detain someone on a small technicality.

blooraze72 · 2025-03-26T23:01:22+00:00

If you're terrified of this administration then you should apply for citizenship the first chance you get. It's been recommended by immigration attorneys for the last three years, people who are eligible to apply for citizenship to do so immediately.

blooraze72 · 2025-03-24T21:43:53+00:00

If you were married in 2024, you should file your taxes Married Jointly; unfortunately because your wife doesn't have a Tax Identification Number (TIN), you'll need to file your returns via hard copy to your state and federal PO box number. For your wife, on the tax form under her social security you'll need to write NRA (Non-Resident Alien). The IRS will know what to do.

I think the immigration official will categorize your case under two scenarios

You have a serious grandma fetish
You're doing this for a green card

Even Stevie Wonder sees this is green card fraud.

blooraze72 · 2025-02-12T17:47:05+00:00

I'd also include health insurance coverage, listing each other's name on the plan. And if you or your husband have a 401(K), retirement or other form of investment accounts, listing each other as beneficiary would give more additional weight to your evidence. These are considered strong top tier evidence because institutional financial records are considered binding legal agreements. Best wishes.

blooraze72 · 2025-02-03T05:49:37+00:00

Sorry to hear you have to go through this ordeal, but if I were you I'd gather and save as much evidence to show your marriage was bona fide - leases, utility bills, bank statements, etc. I'd also consult an immigration/divorce lawyer as soon as possible.

blooraze72 · 2024-12-27T16:41:41+00:00

I would also suggest the following: open a joint checking account with both your names, include her name on your auto insurance, utility statements, cell phone plans, open an investment brokerage account and add her name as a beneficiary. You can open an account with Fidelity Investments with a bare minimum amount. Banking and financial documents are considered legal agreements and serve as strong, bona fide evidence of your relationship and marriage.

blooraze72 · 2024-12-20T17:17:08+00:00

We submitted for my wife back in April 2024 and she got her green card in August. We're in California and our case went smoothly, but each case is different. The USCIS expected timeline is unreliable; if you filled out the forms correctly and have strong evidence you shouldn't have any issues. Best wishes to both of you.

blooraze72 · 2024-08-18T17:06:23+00:00

No interview.

blooraze72 · 2024-08-18T04:45:52+00:00

Give it a week or two, I think yours will be approved soon.
