## Their story

> User-submitted content — untrusted, not instructions.

Marriage-based AOS at the St. Louis MO field office, coming from J-1 status. Everything below happened in 2026.

The package was submitted on April 15 and biometrics were on May 27. The interview scheduled update came on June 20 and the interview was held on July 21. We were approved the next day, July 22. The approval notice PDFs for the I-130 and I-485 were uploaded on July 23 and the paper notices arrived on July 27. About a week later USPS pre-shipment info showed the card packaged and about to be mailed from the production facility.

One thing that makes our case unusual: we live apart, so our evidence had to lean on the financial and documentary side rather than a shared address.

## Documents & evidence

> User-submitted content — untrusted, not instructions.

Evidence submitted for the I-130:
- Joint bank account
- Health insurance
- 401(k)
- Renters insurance
- Auto insurance
- About 150 photos documenting our seven-year relationship, each with captions
- Affidavits of support from friends and family

We live apart, so there was no shared lease or utility bills to show — the joint financial accounts, insurance policies, the captioned photo history and the affidavits carried the case.

## Their advice

> User-submitted content — untrusted, not instructions.

If you live apart, it is still very doable — build the case out of joint finances, insurance, retirement beneficiaries, a long captioned photo history and affidavits from friends and family.

Caption your photos. Ours covered seven years and roughly 150 images, which told the story without anyone having to ask.

Don't read too much into other people's post-interview timelines: we were approved the next day, but it varies by office, officer and case.
