Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionaffidavits needs to be notarized?
You do not need to have them notarized, but I would recommend it if you want them to look more official. A notary is always an added step to showing USCIS that you are serious. Now this is a completely legal Sworn affidavit that has everything you need legally on it that the actual Removal of Conditions requests. Hope it helps.



SWORN AFFIDAVIT

To whom it may concern,

This sworn affidavit is to serve on behalf of (INSERT NAME HERE and (INSERT NAME HERE) as my written testimony to affirm personal knowledge of their marriage and relationship. I do understand that I may be required to testify before an immigration officer as to the information contained in this affidavit.

I somely swear that I have personal knowledge of the relationship and marriage that this sworn affidavit represents. I have known both (INSERT NAME HERE) and (INSERT NAME HERE) prior to and/or as long as conditional residence was granted. I attest that they have merged their lives and have lived together in the same residence as husband and wife.

If there are questions or concerns, I give my permission to be notified to present my statement to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services if necessary.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMy turn to freak out...
Perhaps that wasn't her "intent" and that's fair enough.

However, if you are already stressed out about filing and perhaps I am more freaked out than I need to be, but this is the love of my life I am talking about here not my pet or something... This is my heart and soul and yeah I am pretty much freaking out because making any kind of mistake is not an option and someone straight up tells you that "if you skip an interview, then don't feel like your something special" that's like making an already stressed out person feel like dog dung for no reason.

I will feel special if we get this over with. I will feel special if we skip that appointment. I will feel special when his greencard arrives and I don't have to think about the USCIS until we Naturalize and I will feel special and I do not need anyone turning my already emotional state into something that they feel is petty and small simply because they may not feel as passionate about this process as I do.

She may have good intent and that's great, but there is no need to be sarcastic toward someone that's already emotionally jacked up and scared over everything being just right. she could have worded it differently and her intent could have been better expressed and I do have a right to have hurt feelings and there is nothing wrong with that.

I am sure people just love the support that you offer here. I mean you are a complete asset to this site because you bring such a wonderful feeling of sacasim and arrogance that it's overwhelming. I am sure you should avoid thinking that you're special since it's pretty obvious and since you offer such great advice, then perhaps you should follow it. I am honestly sorry that you must have a pretty horrible life if you want to make comments to people that are completely rude for no real apparent reason other than to be rude. I am sure it feels good to you to be that way to others...shame really. Glad I don't have to ever know you.

I wonder if the person who worked on my case got upset with me since I sent in at least 3lbs of documents? I know that it's way, way, way too much but from the looks of it, it didn't hurt my application at all. whistling.gif


True, but it didn't help either.

People need to understand that the ROC is not equal to an application to become a permanent resident. They have been approved 2 years earlier and are LPRs already; the ROC is just a check to filter out the fraudsters, many of which would not have been able keeping up the charade of a fake marriage for 2 years.

A married couple that is still living together, filing jointly, is automatically approved. All they like to see is SOME documentation showing intermingling of life and finances.

The size of the package means nothing, it just slows things down and makes the IO want to close the file and pick a smaller one so that she can go home.


I disagree... especially when I know that most of the things that I sent were strong proofs that we are intermingling. I am a believer of "the more, the better" and so far it has been working for me from the time we did K1 till ROC.




I completely agree. Look at all my time lines. Every step of this entire thing I have freaked out and went overboard and sent in too much stuff and never had an RFE or any delays. Our whole process has been smooth and quick and I think it's because I am so organized. I have a 3 ring binger sitting here with more than enjough to justify everything they need. I am looking to avoid an interview and go straight to Biometrics. I personally think it makes their job earsier than having to do the paperwork to issue the RFE and cases like mine are the simple ones that people want to "get off their desks"

Ok I am filing this week. I have gotten paranoid and so this is what I have. I know I am just in freak out mode, but I love my baby so I want to be sure this is right.

1. Tax Returns for last year
2. Car insurance documents from when we got our car insurance two years ago to date with the same policy number as the car insurance documents I have current.
3. Lease and even the rental application we both signed when we moved & Additional information form with last address and current address on it and the deposit request form dated from when I requested my deposit back.
4. Copies of the conditional green card back and front
5. a letter from our old property manager when he first moved in and the criminal background check they did on him and a letter saying the date we both moved out.
6. Our I865 change of address notification from the USCIS
7. A letter from our bank stating that we have a joint savings account and all of the statements up to last month.
8.Letter from new property manager saying we signed the lease on company letter head
9.Lead Based Paint Disclosure and mold prevention forms we both had to sign before we moved in
10. Letter from my company of when I started health plan and when I ended it.
11. Medical cards from when we started our policy and changed our policy and the new cards as well.
12.Copy of enrolling into new medical with all the family names on it
13. 9 sworn affidavits.
14. Photos
15. Plane tickets with both our names on it and itinerary from when we went to Vegas last month together. I am even sending in the baggage labels since they have both our names on them for the same flight.


What else can I possibly send them? Did I miss something important?

You say you live with your mom, you should have her draw up a lease for you and have you both sign and notarize it. They probably accepted your income tax and everything, but they need to prove you actuially live together. Or if possible can your mom have you both added to her lease and submit a copy of that?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionWhat happens if I do not want to remove conditions?
I did not call this fraud. His question was "What happens if I do not wish to remove conditions" I took that as.... "help get me out of the ^&%# situation I am in" and the way to get out of that is to remove the evidence that would allow her to stay in the country. That evidence is what will allow her to remove conditions on her own regardless of their situation.
RingsFemaleAustralia2009-11-12 02:20:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionWhat happens if I do not want to remove conditions?
It's her burden to prove that she entered the marriage in "good faith" if there is no proof that you were merging your lives and you call the USCIS and report her as fradulant and she had no evidence to prove you are legitimately "merging your lives" then she has no real leg to stand on.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionRemarry after divorced.
You can get re-married after your divorce is final and you have your divorce decree. However, it could pose questions to the immigration officer if you marry so suddenly after you have divorced or if you married someone else who was brought here on a marriage based visa.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionlifting conditional residency
If you file for divorce, you have to prove you entered the marriage in "good faith" and provide documents that prove you were "merging your lives" this means utility bills in both your names, lease and/or rental agreement in both your names, etc...

If you are not divorced, then you need to initiate divorce proceedings in order to adjust status. You can submit your I-751 without the divorce decree, but you will still get the RFE for it at a later time and you STILL even then have to prove you entered the marriage in "good faith"

USCIS understands that marriages do not always work out, but they will not take your word over paperwork. You have to have documents that support you in this.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussiongreen card approved
These things get printed and mailed at various different times and some people do their jobs a hell of a lot faster than others. All of these messages are positive so I would not worry about them "taking anything back" obviously you have enough evidence in your petition for them to order the production of the card on your case.

The biggest thing you should worry about other than burning your turkey is if they spell your name wrong or put the incorrect information on your greencard. So when you do get it, cheack it very carefully. Make sure the A# is right and everything is spelled right, etc...

Stop worrying and don't forget to cook the bread rolls like I always do. Happy Turkey Day!

I read that link and it still says that the USCIS is going to request the divorce decree. You can file, but they will have you appear in front of the IO. Unless I am reading incorrectly, but I did read that link twice.

Now if you file now and advise the IO that you are not allowed to divorce until you have been separated based on current law then it's still being honest with the USCIS
RingsFemaleAustralia2009-11-30 14:41:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionDo you really need Tax Returns included as evidence?
According to your other thread, you are separated but not divorced. You are trying to file the I-751 and I am fairly certain you can do this by yourself if you are divorced, but that needs to be official and you have to have the divorce decree.

You will probably be asked for an interview if your husband is not here to file jointly with you or willing to sign the I-751. You could have enough evidence, but you will probably be asked for an interview or may get an RFE for your divorce documents.

You should file the divorce right away if possible so that you will have the divorce decree by the time they send you the RFE. If he is not willing to cooperate and he is accusing you of using him for the Greencard as you meantioned before, then you are going to need to get a divorce.

I am assuming that givin your circumstances he is not going to help you out regarding this process.

If their evidence was sufficient they will be approved without interview in most cases... not all, but most. This would happen well before the divorce went through officially.

RingsFemaleAustralia2009-11-30 22:50:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionApplied to remove conditions but thinking divorce
They filed the paperwork together to remove the conditions. If they have good evidence like tax transcripts, rental leases, shared property, etc.. that they submitted with the petition to prove that they enetered the marriage in "good faith" and if they provided enough documentation to prove they are "merging" they lives, then the USCIS may not even ask them for an interview....it really depends on what they sent them as proof that they were together.

If they do not have enough proof then they may call them for an interview in which case they would have to go to that interview together. You can change the way you file the removal of conditions if they call you for an interview. You can tell them that you are now separated, but then you would get the RFE for the divorce decree....but only if they ask for the interview.

If you get an interview all they would have to do is start divorce proceedings and it would be fine. You don't have to do that unless you are called for the interview really. It's not "against" the law to separate during the removal of conditions proceedings.

They already filed together to remove the condition. It will take approximately 6 months from the date they filed until approval. The soonest they can divorce is 3 months.... it will be approved well before the divorce surely.
RingsFemaleAustralia2009-11-30 22:09:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionApplied to remove conditions but thinking divorce
It will probably be approved well before the divorce decree can be provided by the courts. Not much you can do except divorce when you can and if they are approved before hand... well.... not much you can do but keep the greencard until you have to renew it in 10 years.
