Hey all,
Here is my timeline:
Note: Submitted without lawyer. Had lawyer for interview.
Profile: Young (late 20s) couple, US/Europe, both with advanced degrees, first marriage, no kids, SHORT relationship (met 4 months before marriage), his status was F1, no criminal history, very straightforward.
Because of this ^^, I think we had an easier time. We submitted POA, pics, texts & messages, lease, receipts for tickets & events but lacked joint account, shared health & life insurance, shared car insurance, etc. simply because I was in my final year of grad school and had all that through the university. If people want to know, I can submit a more detailed post on what we submitted & how we organized.
