Help With My Question? IMMIGRATION (marriage, uscis, naturalization, Europe)

[deedee2240]

My husband has and interview in a week and we applied under naturalization on basis of marriage to a U.S citizen. One of the requirments are to bring proof of residence (rent, mortgage payments, or utility bills) all those bills are only under my name. The only thing we have under both of our names are bank statements but their under out mailing address. Will he be able to take our bank statements with our mailing address and will this count as a requirement?

Is your mailing address different from your residence? Bring the bank statements anyway, but try and bring more evidence- are there any bills in his name (cell phone, insurance for his car etc), or joint names? If not, be prepared to explain why.

perhaps it can be Allowed，but the Specific provisions ，i don't know/

I doubt it will be a problem. You're a married couple and those bills are being paid from your joint account even though they're addressed just to you which is perfectly normal. Good luck.

Does he have a state id/drivers license? That should have his address, as should his paycheck/stub.

[Chava61]

If you have joint tax returns, bring copies of those with you.

A number of years back I house shared with a couple. He was Irish and she American. They married and he applied to the us for naturalization but they had separate bank accounts from before they met - they just kept them. As we didn't pay bills they were included in the rent they had a hard time with the docs required but they just turned up with everything they had, including pictures of them at parties together, Christmases together etc to 'prove' the marriage was legit. They explained the situation and although they didn't have the paperwork that would normally required they were accepted. I have no idea if the official was having a good day but I guess as long as you can prove you didn't just marry for convenience they should be fine.

In the first "sticky" at the top of this forum page you'll find a link to the uscis website which will supply you with all the information you need. Good luck!

I say it so many times that you'd think I was a corporate shill for the publisher but:

Go on amazon and buy "A Couple's Guide To Fiance & Marriage Visas" by Ilona Bray. If your case is straightforward, then carefully reading and following the steps in this $30 book will serve you better than any $5000 lawyer.

Remember; lawyers get paid whether your petition is accepted or rejected. They aren't going to care as much about your case as you are. They can and do screw up people's lives by putting down the wrong dates, spelling things wrong, or sending them to the wrong place or at the wrong time. Even though the system is annoying, expensive, scary, and complicated, you are your own best advocate so long as you don't have any criminal offenses or other major complications in your case.
