Our aos-marriage based interview is scheduled the first week of October in Newark.
We already prepared our binders with the ff;
1. Joint tax transcript for 2017, sponsor's tax transcript
2. Original and copy of birth certificates
3. Original and copy of marriage license, marriage certificate and my spouse's divorce decrees (been married twice)
4. Our child's birth certificate
5. Original and copy of our lease with both our names
6. Joint bank statements (only recent because our bank needed an ssn to add me)
7. Original and copy of Pseg bills for the last 6 months and originals from what we submitted with our application.
8. Copy of our Phone bills with both our numbers and names
9. Advance directives that has been notarized.
10. Copy of life insurance that has my name as the beneficiary
11. Orginal and copy of greeting cards and invitations with both our name and address
12. 2 written affidavit from our relatives of how they know us and our relationship
13. Correspondence, mailing receipts of gifts we sent to each other, chat correspondence.
14. Travel tickets and hotel accommodations (with both our names)
15. Photos of the wedding and photos of vacations, photos with our family.
On a separate folder all our forms, noa, past additional income tax for the sponsor and spouse.
What worries me.
1.Since this is the third marriage im afraid that we will be scrutinized but my spouse only petitioned the spouse on the first marriage which was more than 15 years ago.
2. Is age gap an issue because we have a 15 year age gap?
3. Reviewing my I-485 yes or no question "have you ever been denied a visa" i said nk but now i recall, my first try for a tourist visa my passport was given back to me and although that time i did'nt take it as a denial i tried again after a year and was approved. We asked the lawyer about this and made me more nervous he said it may cause the denial if I said something that would incriminate me, that it is up to us if we don't want to declare the mistake or correct it during the interview (some advice really?!) My gut is telling me to correct it,just come clean and write and explanation.
4. My spouse lost job early this year and I am still trying to get an employment since August but to no avail. We do have a sponsor that makes enough but we're nervous about it.
Any additional advice will be greatly appreciated
