Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionNeed help on the documents
I would send the previous lease, especially if it includes a period of time after the green card was issued. And you can have your parents do a lease for you, or write an affidavit explaining you live with them. Having absolutely no joint billing seems impossible to me for two people that live together though! You must have at least a bank account or a store card together, even if you are not actively using them, right? Maybe if your parents pay all the bills, show they paid some of her bills. If you list all the documents you have gathered so far, maybe VJ-ers can help you with some more ideas :thumbs:

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHusband working in Pakistan

My husband is teaching in Pakistan, he is not in military but he is working under the US Govt..my question is what evidence should i send to USCIS?


Is he the US citizen or the LPR? Are you both in Pakistan or just he? When was the GC issued? When did he go to Pakistan & how long is he going to be there?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionIs this enough to file with?

Sorry but I agree with the person who said that they're not a requirement and for people with weak evidence. Of course they don't HURT but I'm not going to waste my time. Your friend probably had some red-flags in her case you didn't know about. She could also not have mailed enough evidence thinking it wasn't a big deal. She might have told you she sent more than she actually did out of embarrassment or confusion. Could be your friend being in Europe was an issue.

The ROC thread with my list is mentioned in my signature. I have HEAPS of stuff and won't waste time asking friends/family to sign statements about our relationship (they don't know what goes on behind closed doors so they're all worthless basically anyway).


I was not saying the affidavits are required. Strictly speaking, nothing is always "required", except the I-751 form, the check and copy of your GC - there are even couples who don't file tax returns, so obviously USCIS cannot require that from those couples.

What I said was that occasionally USCIS sends an RFE if affidavits have not been provided and I can say that because I know first-hand of such a case (which I am very familiar with because she is a close friend of many years, who helped me with my immigration stuff). She was in Europe because her husband was stationed there for a few months, and this was actually part of their evidence, among many other things (and being a military couple with kids, they had tons of good hard-to-fake docs generated as a result of her hubby being in the army). I actually looked at your ROC list and you have way less stuff than she had sent. Which doesn't mean you WILL get an RFE for the affidavits (or something else), but it's always possible, people even get RFE-ed for things they have already sent.

With that in mind, if you want to send the least amount of paper and save on postage, by all means, only send them the crucial stuff, like tax returns, bank statements and maybe a rental agreement or insurance and cross your fingers - if they want anything else, USCIS will surely let you know. If your goal is to minimize the chance of getting an RFE or wasting a day to go to an interview - then send as much stuff as you have, even if it is weaker evidence, because viewed as a whole, it makes your petition more convincing.

FALSE! (Re: sometimes receiving RFEs for not providing affidavits from family/friends)

The conventional wisdom has always been that affidavits are among the weakest forms of evidence, and that they are usualy recommended for those with rather scant documented evidence. Dozens of members in these forums have made successful hassle-free applications without RFEs. I'm curious whre you're getting your RFE information.


I agree that they are a weak kind of evidence but I have a friend with lots of good evidence (US citizen husband in the army supports the family, so finances are 100% joint and lots of documents of all sorts plus a kid with a second pregnancy on the way) and she got an RFE specifically and only for the affidavits, which she thought she didn't need. Since the affidavits are so easy to get, I would just send them, so I would have one less thing to worry about being RFE-ed for.My friend was in Europe when they sent her the affidavit RFE, so she went through a lot of trouble due to that.

Seems like a good package to me with lots of great documents. You might want to throw in a couple of affidavits from family/friends because sometimes they RFE if you don't. Copies of DL's showing the same address (even though you already have the lease). Car insurance/titles with both names. Read the instructions of I-751 re: supporting documents requirements slowly - in my case that jogged my memory about some additional docs to send.

If he got criminal charges for the abuse, it would not be that easy for him to get a permanent green card. Other than that, I don't know - anything that has the potential to show that the marriage was not bona fide while it lasted could hurt his case but that would be more lack of things, such as joint financial documents, living together (joint lease, mortgage), etc. Not sure if you/daughter could send an affidavit to USCIS describing the situation and what that would do - maybe other VJ-ers could shed some light.

Anyway, at least he's out of your life and your daughter is moving on - that's the important thing, even if he somehow gets to stay in the US for now. He'll probably get in trouble for something else if he indeed is what you describe him to be. Sounds like he's not worth your attention, I'm sure you could spend your time better than to worry about him!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionAlready thinking about the next step

Oh yeah, I just found my diplomas yesterday. I'm taking them too.


Like the other posters said, the evidence you would need for the ROC in two years would be mostly generated after you get to the US.

However, what I found very useful, because you never know what might come up in the future, was giving a general power of attorney to my parents to represent me in front of all government & non-government institutions in my country - this has saved me from a ton of hassle when I got a letter from the health authorities that I owed [equivalent of social security/medicare tax, which you don't have to pay if you live abroad] and had to file some sort of form with them under a new law to get that waived, getting my university back there to send an official transcript directly to a US university and handling inheritance matters for which I would have had to come back on a very short notice otherwise.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHelp!!!
Other evidence can compensate to for the lack of joint financial documents, that's a good list up there. I'll add medical records listing each other as emergency contacts, 401(k) docs if they list you, and any record of payments for your/baby's bills that show they were paid out of one of his accounts. You could also open a joint account now and keep it until you're done with the ROC & citizenship process, where you keep a little bit of money to pay for groceries, or expenses related to the birth/child, and still keep the bulk of your finances separate (You could even open one for you as the primary holder and just add him as an authorized user - can't stop you from doing that). This would give you a few statements to show USCIS. They don't care about the amounts in the account but usually do want to see that some co-mingling exists and might give you a harder time if you don't have it, so I personally would try to offer them fewer reasons to complicate things (but that doesn't mean you won't get your permanent GC - if you have a bona fide marriage and are not criminally known, in the end you WILL get it).

If you write exactly what the RFE says and list what you already provided, I'm sure people here will come up with additional ideas of what to send the immigration folks.


On a personal note thought, I would not be comfortable with my husband keeping all his finances and property separate, especially if kids are in the picture, even if he is good about providing for us and I earn enough on my part. In the event something happened to him, it would be a lengthy probate nightmare to get the property and would result in a lot of fees and taxes (taxes because you are not a USC) that are otherwise avoidable to be paid out of the estate, and might even make funds and assets that you need for your children's daily needs & education unavailable until they become 18. I'm not familiar with your situation, and maybe he has good reasons for doing what he is doing (e.g. ugly divorce with ex would make anyone extra-cautious), but I would very strongly suggest he consult with an attorney (if you guys haven't already) to make sure things are handled in the best possible way, which is possible with separate finances but not as straight-forward.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionAddress Change Request/General FAQ

Thanks for the quick reply. Any chance you could list what documents and how many of each you included as evidence/support of your marriage on this forum. Looks like it has worked for you and so following by example might be easier. Did you also include a photocopy of your passport? Would copies of credit cards in both mine and my wife's name be considered as evidence? Probably take your advice and do the address change before hand so as it negate any complications.


I can give you my list later, but what would be even more useful to you is to read as many threads as you can in this forum (start with http://www.visajourn...i-751-evidence/ and http://www.visajourn...ing-conditions/ and then read some of the threads on the first-second pages). That way you would see what everyone is sending, not just my package and would get more ideas about what to send, because everyone's situation and documents are unique to some extent and so would be yours. Also read the instructions for form I-751 on the USCIS website - they contain a basic but crucial list of what kinds of things to include.

I did include a copy of my foreign passport and ID card to show that I changed my name in my native country after getting married in the US (that was still being processed during AOS). Copies of joint credit cards (even from a store like JC Penney) are GOOD evidence but also throw in some statements. Anything financial with both names on it is worth throwing in, as well as anything that shows you live, travel or act together.
DaniGFemaleBulgaria2012-04-06 06:48:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionAddress Change Request/General FAQ
It's not too difficult to do the I-751 by yourself if you read a bit in the forum (if you are the typical case without arrests or other unusual circumstances). It took me maybe a total of 3 hours to copy all my docs, do a cover letter and send everything away to USCIS.

You're right about the timing above - 3 months before expiration. The evidence needs to span the whole 2 years of your marriage since you got the GC - so for example, when you send bank statements, you don't have to include every single month, but make sure you have one for every 4-5 months and not just the last month. They want to see you were together the entire time, so show them that. Same with the other documents - if you had several lease agreements, don't just send the last one - show you always lived together. If you're sending pictures - send pictures from different months & different places. Many of the monthly threads have lists of what people sent and there are some recent posts that talk specifically about that, so just spend a couple of hours reading here and you will be ready to work on your package.

About the change of address, my common sense tells me late is better than never, my reasoning being that if you send the form with an address different from the one they have on file for you, it might be a red flag. I would defer to other VJ-ers on how important that is and what is your best course, but I would report the address change if I were you.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionShould I help possibly cheating wife?

How do those cases turn out?

I just spoke with lawyer and he said it can be done two ways. 1. is to have a mutual agreement and sign the agreement with witnesses and divorce should be final within 3-4 months. Second option is if she wants to go after me for child support and we don't have an agreement on the terms of the divorce then it goes to a judge. Well, I already know that my money will not be wisely spent and i don't want my son raised while she goes to work in those places for months. When i first met my wife, she was on a different city from where her daughter was. Supposedly she left her daughter under her mothers care while she went to other cites to work for 3-4 months, she would return for a few weeks to see her daughter and out she was again. She said she did not like being at home and wanted to avoid any guy that new her and her family. Do you guys think I have a good shot at full custody if i bring this up?


Sounds like you should also consult with a lawyer in the country where your wife & child are, possibly even the US embassy there could help with advice. They might or might not accept US court decisions.

I'm not sure if the above activities of your wife would help you or not - courts have seen plenty of exes badmouth each other, but was she ever convicted for anything (child neglect, drugs, you name it)?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionDivorce/AOS

I am asking this for a friend who lives here, a Filipina...She is married to an American and lives here in the states, and she has one year on her green card.....her two year green card date is approx 4/2013. She says she was told she has to wait till the two year green card date for her husband and her to divorce or it will screw up her process and she risks deportation. They have lived together for the past year but he is abusive and they just do not want to stay married.

She doesn't want to stay married to him for another year, but doesn't want to mess up her Visa process. Her husband has been married three times previously, so this is his 4th marriage. Its a mutual split and he really doesn't care either way. I know there are two sides to every story, so I won't get into the ####### for tat....but does anyone have any advise. She would like to move out, and live with a g/f of hers, and do the divorce process, if she can.

She can prove they've had a real relationship for the past year, even though he has refused to put her on his bank account or help her get her drivers license, etc.

Thanks guys.


You say she can prove they had a real relationship but doesn't have joint bank account or driver's license showing the same address. What kinds of proof does she have? This would determine the answer to your questions. Anyway, a guy that doesn't care and wouldn't cooperate with the immigration process is probably just as good, if not worse, than a guy who is out of the picture due to divorce in case USCIS decides to do an interview (and it sounds like your friend doesn't have some of the important pieces of evidence that they like to see, so they would be likely to do that).

Does she have proof of the abuse, like police reports or medical records? Did they at least file joint tax returns? Any other joint financial documents? Proof that they live together? Affidavits?

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionphotos
They're not obligatory but USCIS kind of expects to see them because most people send photos (10-20 pictures usually). I've heard of people successfully going through the process without sending a single photo, so it all depends on how strong your evidence is as a whole - if you have a lot of other good documentation that you are sending (meaning lots of financial stuff showing co-mingling), you might be just fine not sending pics.

On my AOS interview a couple of years ago, the USCIS officer asked to see some pictures, particularly such that show us with hubby's family, and actually made copies of a few of them to save in our file, which says to me that some of the officers like to see that as part of your application.

Also, if the bank statements don't show both names, you could go to the bank and ask for a letter that says she is an authorized user on your account. A very fast way to get that is to draft the letter and just bring it for the branch manager to sign.

Btw, not all couples can send 3 years of joint tax returns - we filed I-751 in February and only sent the 2010 joint return because we were not married yet in 2009 and we hadn't filed 2011 at that time. But if you have filed them - by all means get transcripts and include in the package.

Unfortunately we don't. I have submitted joint tax returns and have added wife to my credit cards as authorized user. That's pretty much it. My wife does not work and never had a credit card of her own, so that's why we have limited shared financial records.


Then send them a copy of your cards & hers that she got as authorized user (they should have the same numbers but different names). You could also get a letter from the bank stating that she is an authorized user on your account - it's pretty much the same thing as having a joint account.

Agreed, for example, we had some issues with a compromised account in the past and my husband put a warning on his SSN, so that anyone trying to open an account or get credit with it would have to go through personally contacting him - fraud would be very hard, if not impossible with just his SSN. But if they have the information for an already existing account, nothing could stop them from shopping online or over the phone using the account :) We blacked out the first few digits of our accounts on all docs we sent to USCIS.

It seems like you have a lot of documents. For the ones where things look weird, like the 2010 tax return and the DL's/state ID - maybe you could get letters from the accountant explaining the situation & the state/DOT saying you are registered at the same address - if not possible, concentrate on providing more of the other types of evidence & send what you have. BTW, it's not 100% clear above if for 2010 you filed as "single" or as "married filing separately" - the second is totally okay with USCIS, the first not so if you're sending them the 2010 return make sure it comes with a good explanation. You don't mention sending any affidavits from friends/relatives or photos - these are some easy things to provide, also residence can be shown with copies of letters addressed to both of you in addition to what you already have.

Congrats on your new car! I would recommend that you choose one bank statement and one utility bill for each quarter of each year. For example, if you choose January 2011 for your bank statement, choose February for your utility bill. I sent in 6 per year. You should definetly include your title and other information regarding the car purchase. This is when you were able to buy the car, I don't think USCIS is going to think that your marriage is fraudulent because you bought a car together (of course, you never really know do you?) Good Luck!!


:thumbs:Agreeing with everything above. I don't think USCIS would get suspicious because you guys just bought the car - it's not something most people would get joint title on unless they have a bona-fide relationship (not only because of the cost, but also the liability involved with having your name on the title of a vehicle someone else drives). Now, if it was something like $9/month life insurance that you just got or a joint checking account that you just opened, yes, that might seem a little suspicious.

We blacked out credit card and account numbers except for the last 4 digits. It's been a few months since we filed and we have not got an RFE yet; I've read that many people black out as well without issues.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMY HUSBAND REFUSE TO SIGN THE I751

Please call your local police if you are being abused.


:thumbs: You can call even days after the abuse, or at the very least, you could go to the doctor to make sure your injuries are documented. Arrest report or doctor's records would be useful evidence for getting your green card without his signature, and also for getting custody of the kids later on. Getting the police involved will also trigger benefits for you and the kids from their victim programs, such as compensation, counseling and legal help. Yes, it might be shameful to call the police on your husband, but is he your husband now that he has asked for divorce (and if you ask me, no one who has physically abused a woman deserves to be called "husband")?
