Green Card approved
Yesterday I shared my experience during my interview. I received the approval for my I-485; however, I-130 is still pending. I'm thrilled, and because I know how stressful is all this process I want to share with you how I organized my documents in case some of you find it helpful.
I divided my documents into five categories:
in a brief case:
1. i-130: where I had all the copies you need, like passports, marriage certificates, birth certificates, Driver's licenses, and interview notices.
2. Cohabitation: We don't have a lease; my husband owns the apartment, so we have the deed, plus different documents to prove I have the same address: my bank statements, correspondences I received, plus a letter from the building manager stating we live together.
3. Joint finances and insurance: Credit card statements from our joint account, car insurance, health insurance, tax returns, my 401k, where my husband is the beneficiary, and life insurance. We also included a print screen where I'm his emergency contact at work, and he is on mine.
4. Memberships and dog: Our puppy agreement, the registration at the AKC, some vet receipts, everything with both of our names on it. Also, we included our Spotify duo account, Amazon Household and the gym membership.
5. Love, friends and entertainment: We submitted 8 support letters from family and friends including a copy of their ID, copy of the letters we gave to each other for Christmas, Valentine's day and special occasions. Also, some wedding invitations and other letters our friends sent us. Additionally, we included at least 8 Facebook posts, and our profiles where it says we are married to each other. And finally, we printed all the events and concerts we went together, at least 10. I just printed the tickets.
Apart from this we had a big photo album, but the officer didn't ask for pictures (she was a little bit overwhelmed for all the evidences, and that is exactly what we wanted). She also congratulated us for how we organized our documents.
I wanted to share this with you in case it is helpful. As I said, after a year waiting I know how stressful is this process.
I wish all the best for you guys. 🙏
