Hearing about djmarek's problem with his UP visa inspired me to start organizing files and make sure I could pull enough proof of cohabitation documentation. I'd like feedback on whether I have everything covered.
If all goes well, we'll be applying for my gf's UP visa at the end of June. We've been living together continuously since Aug 2002, but I'm starting the documentation at May 2003.
I have things organized as file folders (some of them are empty at the moment, but I'll report what will go there).
GF's identity documents
- US passport
Proof of residence, May 2003-April 2004 (all documents from May 2003 unless otherwise specified)
- for Me
* bank statement
* credit card annual statements (2002 and 2003)
* car insurance bill
* payroll advice of deposit
* voter registration card (dated 06/18/2003)
- for GF
* bank statement
* payroll advice of deposit
* 2003 W-2 (from Jan 2004, usual W-2 time)

Proof of residence, May 2004-Jun 2005

Anything else I need? I also had phone and credit card bills, but because the stub was removed and sent with payment, there's no address info on them any more!
TIA!
