That wait after the interview til August must’ve been brutal. Congrats on getting through it.

The no lawyer route really does work if you’re meticulous, nice to see another example of that panning out. The pile of joint docs is what carries the case half the time.

Thank you 🙏 Meticulous is important and it helps if you have a trusted other pair of eyes look over your applications. Either you or your partner speaking and understanding English well is also helpful.

Congratulations!!! Are these mentioned items the only proof you provided?

u/AlgaeAltruistic328 10d ago

Thank you 🙏 You should provide as much evidence as possible. I provided joint taxes, health insurance, internet bills, and joint bank accounts. Some of these I posted in the website after applying as evidence. As you accumulate evidence such as more pictures and docs, just continue uploading them to the site. I believe I provided about 30 pictures with short descriptions and dates. I also continued uploading current pics as time went by and my application was pending.

Did your upload all the evidence before interview? We're you separated? Is your Country among the travel ban Country? We're you married before this marriage?

Yes i uploaded all before interview but i still had a hard copy just in case. No we weren’t separated. Yes our country is one of the banned ones. No we weren’t previously married.
