I got marreid two years ago for Love. I am from Europe and my husband is american. I got the first green card, which is for two years, since we have our two year anniversary today, the 17th of June.
The immigration office has sent us a letter, after applieng for the 10 year green card, so that I can stay here and live with my husband, that they don't really believe that we got married for love, since we can't, or don't have any proves of future bases like life insureances, mortgages, children and all that. We just do not buy life insurances and houses and are too old to have children.
I have sent them every prove I could, that Ray and I love each other.
I am not here for any other reason, I am from a very rich country in europe and don't need to be here to work or anything else.
What can I do?

You could hire a very good Immigration Attorney - this is one area where I recommend a professional.

Not every marriage has a mortgage and children. You need to prove up the bona fides of the marriage, specifically cohabitation and co-mingling of funds.
Please note that if you don't have primary evidence as highlighted above, provide secondary evidence along with affidavits.
Look to see if you can provide; jointly filed tax returns, joint bank account statements, credit cards, memberships in clubs (Sams, Costco), mail addressed to you jointly, invitations from family members for family events, cards and letters given to each other, mail sent to you and your husband separately but at the marital address, photos of the two of you at different events and times, travel together, emails, major purchases, print up your social networking sites noting your marital status with posted pictures.
Get affidavits from friends, neighbors, co-workers, and other acquaintances that know you are married. Have them provide factual first-hand knowledge data, not subjective language.
Please consult with an attorney. If you are truly married and have been for over 2 years, you will have some credible evidence of the marriage. I hope this has been helpful. Good luck. :)
