Immigration Site

have an inquiry, I dont know if any of you have been to the interview yet, but possibly you can help or offer some advice:

My husband and I had been dating for about 2 years, and I came to visit in February and he asked me to marry him. And since I had just quit my crappy job before the trip we decided to spontaneously go and get married in the courthouse with some friends. Needless to say with no reason to go back to Canada, and a decent amount of savings, my mom shipped my clothes and I moved in with him. Now, with the background said, here is my question, he and I really have no joint accounts since I dont have a SSN, and I cant be put on the lease since hes subletting from a friend whos travelling. So what form of proof could we really provide at the interview? We have a credit card in both of our names, and are hoping to get a joint bank account if my EAD comes quickly enough. But besides pictures (which there are a million of) and we have a few old flight itineraries, any ideas of what we could bring to the interview? I guess since our getting married was spur of the moment we never thought to save old emails etc.

A few suggestions Ive gotten so far:

401K/Benefits/Life Insurance: Hes a consultant so has no benefits
Taxes: Got married in March and his taxes were filed already, and Ive never worked in the U.S.
Auto Insurance: We could do that, but since Im not 25 until next year it will double lol
AAA/Costco Membership: Can definately do that
Affidavits from friends: Anyone have a template or can they just write a simple letter and have it notarized?
Wedding Ring Receipt: Husband threw it out with other paper bits

Also since we got married without family there and only a few friends at the courthouse were planning a big wedding in October in Canada so Ive got receipts for that.

Any help would be great. Thanks!!!

From my own experience I can tell you that Immigration Officer are not interested in photographs, not even if you had a big wedding reception. They are just seeking for proof of your bona fide marriage, which you may well know...

So I encourage you to get as many joint documents as possible. These were the ones that worked for me.

Rent/Lease - Tell your friend whos subletting to do an affadivit and notarize it. This really should help as this shows you live together.

Insurance - Either Car, Life, or Health, Try to have one of this.

Joint Bank Account - You do not need SSN o get a bank account so make sure you open our joint account or join your husbands account.

And thats what I presented and was approved in 20 mins.

This is also my experience. My interviewer told me that photos are "too easily faked", and that they didnt accept email as proof. However my joint bank statement and car insurance did nicely.

My IO, on the contrary, was very interested in photographs - she looked at ALL the pictures we had. I guess, it depends on the IOs personal preference
