if you move you can change your address online using the AR-11.. this will also change your address on most pending cases...

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 Doing Interview vs. Getting GC assigned ???
QUOTE (JJBBKK @ Nov 3 2008, 10:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
in majority, the only I-751 petitions that get called for interviews are the ones that are filed based on divorce (not joint petitions) and the ones that dont have sufficient documentation, so u should be fine

hmm, not sure if those get called in for interviews.. they usually just ask you to send in more documentation..


they also do some interviews for for quality control..

actually if you do the online AR-11 you shouldn't have to send in the paper AR-11..

maybe they were referring to the I-865 which you can only mail in...


QUOTE
With the exception noted above, all non-U.S. citizens who move within the United States and its territories must submit a Form AR-11 within 10 days after completing the change of address. You can do that here on our website with the Electronic Change of Address tool. If you choose to use this online tool, you can complete an electronic Form AR-11 and notify USCIS to update your address on most pending cases.

If you choose not to complete an electronic Form AR-11, you will be required to obtain a paper Form AR-11 and mail it to the address shown on the form. This will delay the process of notifying USCIS significantly. Not filing an electronic AR-11 and choosing to mail in a paper AR-11 will not update your address on any applications or petitions pending with USCIS.

Regardless of whether or not you are a U.S. citizen, if you choose not to use the electronic change of address notification, you will need to call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 to request that the address on your pending application/petition be changed. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you will also need to complete a paper Form AR-11.

If you are not a U.S. citizen and you have a case pending with USCIS, you will need to do both – call customer service and complete the paper AR-11. Completing an AR-11 does not update your address on any pending case. Also, notifying customer service does not meet the legal requirement of completing an AR-11.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionFiling out I 751 for child
QUOTE (1HappyGuy @ Sep 2 2008, 04:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Sorry, I meant to say that the child still needs to petition on their own, but the reason (i.e. who made this possible) is still the parent with their K-1 application. The child did not come on their own, but rather as a K-2 visa recipient. The K-2 is issued only as a result of a K-1 visa.

I think this explains it...^^

I am pretty sure you would put your name on the form..

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionFiling out I 751 for child
QUOTE (1HappyGuy @ Sep 2 2008, 09:07 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I believe the process is still the same even if the child followed more than 90 days later. The child received their K-2 as a result of the parent's K-1. That relationship didn't change, so it should be the same this time. It will still likely be a matter of the step-parent providing financial support.

I am pretty sure I have seen people on here who got their petition sent back and told to send a separate petition for the child...

here is one example...

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionFiling out I 751 for child
QUOTE (belladona_ph @ Sep 1 2008, 03:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
hello there,

I will be filing my I-751 this September. I will be filing for my son too, but I will include him in my application. Like you I was on K1 and my son on K2. I will be the one applying for the lifting of conditions.

as per instruction on filing:

Conditional Resident Children
In Part 5 of the form, please make sure to include any conditional resident children applying with you in order to have their conditional basis removed, or they may file separately. Please remember to provide their A-number.

On Part 4:
Put the name of your spouse
On part 5:
list the name of your child, include his Alien Registration Number
On part 6:
your signature and your spouse

I hope this would help. Good luck!

that only works if the permanent residency of the parent and the child expire within 90 days of each other....

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussioncover letter is it enough to much?

We didn't sent one, Just the documention showing joint relationship and living as husband and wife. House with both our names and also having each other on our life insurance policy from work.

That's good! Anyone else?

I'd really hate to involve other people in our immigration business. So far I have:
  • 3 years of joint tax returns
  • 3 years of bank statements showing our direct deposits and checks
  • joint apartment lease (the original contract and one renewal)
  • health insurance policy (my wife's enrolled as a dependent on my policy)
  • car insurance (in both our names)
  • joint utility bills (gas and electric) from ConEdison - 2 years
  • photocopies of our driving licenses showing our address
  • insurance policy with my wife as the beneficiary
  • 401(k) papers with my wife as the beneficiary
  • probably a couple of other things I forgot
Do you think it's good enough?

I wouldn't include 3 years worth of bank statements or 2 years worth of utilies.. that seems like a bit overkill... all I did was submit the latest bank statement and the latest utility bill but if you want to be on the safe side just submit one statement/bill from the beginning of the 2 or 3 years and the latest one...

I also only submitted the latest tax return...

otherwise your list looks good.... that is about all we submitted ... and like I mentioned in my above post.. we were approved with no problems...


just to give you an idea this is what we included in our package ....
copy of baby's hospital certificate
copy of baby's death certificate
copy of rental agreement
copy of car insurance
copy of one recent joint tax form
copy of 401K that states that I am the primary beneficiary
copy of health care statement showing that I am covered under hubby's health care insurance
copy of one recent gas bill
copy of one recent phone bill
copy of one recent cable bill
copy of recent bank statements
copy of paper showing that hubby added me to his bank account
Copy of some bills (Sirius, Netflix etc) with just hubby's name and our address on it
Copy of some bills with just my name on it and our address (recent electric bill etc..)
Some envelopes with both our names and address on them...

I just sent in the most recent bill for each utility.... The phone and gas were in my name but I added hubby's name, the electric company didn't let me add my hubby's name...... and I just included the most recent bank statement.... and the application that we filled out to add me to hubby's account...

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussioncover letter is it enough to much?

The documents should cover, but not limited to,the following examples:
*Birth certificate(s) of child(ren) born to the marriage.

*Lease or mortgage contracts showing joint occupancy and/or ownership of your communal residence.

*Financial records showing joint ownership of assets and joint responsibility for liabilities, such as joint savings and checking accounts, joint federal and state tax returns,insurance policies that show the other spouse as the beneficiary, joint utility bills, joint installments or other loans.

*Other documents you consider relevant to establish that your marriage was not entered into in order to evade the U.S. immigration l

*Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by at least two people who have known both of you since your conditional residence was granted and have personal knowledge of your marriage and relationship.
