Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Is this enough documentation?	QUOTE (maya62 @ Jul 28 2008, 11:33 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What evidence do you have of lease or mortgage contracts showing joint ownership or occupancy? The reason I noticed is because I'm struggling with that one myself. I owned my house 9 years before I even met my husband, and I have not added his name to the deed. Call it post-divorce traumatic stress disorder... Ack. Maya PS What Jomo's girl said... good luck and we're right behind you, too! I would just explain the situation in the cover letter...	Marilyn.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I751 proofs	yeah it would be ok to stick in a few emails.. but remember it isn't about the quantity of evidence you have but about the quality..

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Change of adress while Removal of Condtions is Pending	https://egov.uscis.g...i/go?action=coa you can change your address online now and it changes your address on most pending cases.... QUOTE How Do I Report My Change of Address? If you are not a U.S. citizen, changing your address for legal purposes does not change your address on any application or petition pending with USCIS and changing your address on a pending application or petition does not meet the legal requirements of informing USCIS of your change of address. You will need to do both. For most cases, you can now do both at the same time on our website using the Electronic Change of Address tool (available under "Related Links" on this page). 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. If you mail a paper Form AR-11, we recommend using certified, registered or return receipt mail. This is not currently a requirement of USCIS, however it is advisable to send the AR-11 by a method that will give you documentation that you did mail the form to USCIS, in case there should ever be a question. http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD	Marilyn.

I know I am too late, but I was out of the country. Should I send everything via FedEx or USPS certified? I am little nervous and scared for the deadline. Any thing can I do to expedite this? Thank you so much. Yes you can use FedEx or any other courier service. However make sure you use the correct address, as PO boxes cannot be used for courier services, you will need the physical address. It should be noted on the form instructions to form I751. pls scratch my answer.... I've looked all over the USCIS website, and while I couldn't even access some parts anymore (error messages all over the place), I cannot find a physical address for the service centers anymore ( they used to be on the website there somewhere, but as said, I can't find it). Probably best if you follow with the brilliant advise the others have given your regarding USPS express mail. All the best! the addresses are listed on the instructions for the I-751.... http://www.uscis.gov.../I-751instr.pdf I thought there was an address for those people who wanted to send it in using "commercial overnight or fast freight services" but it only shows an address if you need to make an address change...
