Because i love you

Ok, so if you've been reading my blog for awhile, you might know about my visa adventure to get from Amsterdam to my Love in New York like two years ago.
Remember how happy i was when i officially got my papers? I finally could really move!
Now, almost two years later, paperwork fun is here again. Why? Well, if you get a greencard based on a marriage that is still fairly new, your greencard is "under condition" for two years. My "conditional" two years are almost over and now we have to prove that we're still living together as a loving couple to get my conditional status removed and to get my permanent green card.
So how do you prove love? I'm learning now that you do that with a lot of documents. Preferably financial documents. Crazy that loves comes down to your taxes. And how many utility bills you have in both your names. And who remembers to save the envelopes your Christmas cards arrived in, so you can show personal mail send to you both? I know i didn't.

I know i love my husband. My husband knows i love him. Everyone we've met know we love each other.
But now we have to prove it to the INS. Feels weird.
Another thing you can send in as prove are affidavits from friends/family/coworkers. Who has ever asked their friends to write an official letter about how they see your relationship? I can tell you, that is a bit strange to ask. But now that the letters are coming in, it is fun to read them. Because there is Love in those letters.
I'm getting ready to send out all the paperwork and i hope i'll get my new card soon! Of course we can use all the good karma in the world, so if you are reading this, pls keep your fingers crossed for us!
