Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Change of address during I-751 filing	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.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Preparing I-751 evidence- need help!	i would include them...	Marilyn.	Female	Canada	2007-08-02 07:50:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	The time has come	for me I just included the most recent bills and bank statement. etc..... I wasn't called in for an interview nor did I get an RFE.... if you want you could include a bill. utility or bank statement from somewhere near the beginning of the two years and a most recent one.. I think submitting all the bills etc for the entire two years is overkill.... but this is just my opinion... there is no magic amount of evidence you could send in that would prevent you from an interview... sometimes they just ask for an interview for quality control ..... MarilynP, Just for the record, nowhere did I state or intimate that one should send all bills for the entire 2 years. I did suggest that in reviewing which evidence you wish to submit, you make sure that if you are attempting to demonstrate that you commingle your finances and you share a home, that the evidence shows that this is not simply something done in the "beginning" or towards the "filing date" but rather throughout! Random selection. Selection being the operative word. Choose wisely to tell the story you wish for USCIS to know of you and your alien spouse. Slugs of insipid evidence does no more for the alien than one or two key pieces. One or two pieces that demonstrate little, of course won't be sufficient. I wasn't implying that is what you said but I have seen people do that, include all the bills, and utilities from the entire 2 years... I just included the most recent bills, utilities etc... and i only included one of each..., like one gas bill, one electric bill, one phone bill etc.... but stuff like the 401K , medical benefits etc.. were from somewhere in the 2 years....

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	The time has come	Add affidavits from 2 people and with what you have there is a GOOD chance they will not require an interview. we submitted basically the same evidence with a few differences and no affidavits and we didn't have an interview... I really think affidavits are not good evidence anyways... you could pay anybody to say stuff about you... I think they are looking for more hard evidence that you have an ongoing relationship/marriage... affidavits are good I guess, if you don't have a lot of other evidence....	Marilyn.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Fcuk Texas!	They haven't done anything in Texas. Processing plain stopped. Always the fcuking TSC. Hence, ** Texas! ?? Maybe I'm confused. You got an NOA incredibly fast compared to most other service centers. And it has been less than two months since you applied. Sure, you can vent, but are you really getting things in perspective? Is the delay really holding your life back in any way? Or maybe I don't know the full story. (That's probably a comment to most people who seem the think they have the right for immediate approvals, not just you by the way. I'm not really sure where everyone got it into their head that I-751s are supposed to be fast? Was I off school that day?) the frustration methinks (and you can correct me on this Reinhard!) is that he might have gotten his NOA1 quickly, but all of a sudden Texas has gotten super-slow with sending the biometric appointment information. I say all of a sudden, as I applied only a month and half before he did (may) and had my biometrics completed within a month of my NOA1, he'd already been waiting a month and a half. Exactly. I don't really care how long this ####### takes as long as they get it done within a year and change so that this process won't hold up the naturalization. We just need the damn bios out of the way so Nani can make her long awaited trip back home without the hassle of having to worry about re-scheduling the damn bio appointment. Nani is looking to make an extended trip home with our daughter towards the end of the year while I will be undertaking some extensive business travelling before spending some vacation time in Ethiopia with the family. It just gets in the way when this Service Center all of a sudden stops working while folks at other centers - most notably the CSC - get the whole friggin' process done within less time than it will take for us just to get a biometrics appointment. I'm just so friggin' tired of the USCIS and all it's bullshite! So, yes, this delay is having quite a negative impact on our life. OK Understood. But in all fairness, I think we have all learned that you really can't compare one service center to another. I remember way back when CSC would process K1s in a year, and VSC took 3 months. Yeah, it's all shite, but aren't we used to that now? By the way, as far as I can tell, applying for naturalization can go ahead whether or not an I-751 has gone through so you don't need to worry about that. I'm sure someone will come along and say that's not correct. Hope it flies through for you anyway. i have heard you can file for naturalization if your I-751 is still pending but they will process the I-751 first before they process the naturalization.... or something like that...

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Gathering enough evidence for 751	Hi everyone! My spouse and I will be able to file the I-751 in about two months. We were married in January 2004 in a private civil ceremony in Finland and lived there, then I came back to the US in Sept '05 to get a job to be able to have the affidavit of support approved. He got his visa through the US embassy in Finland, then he came on the immigrant visa to interview on 12/31/05 (his official move date), and after flying back and forth several times to interview while wrapping up his life in Finland, started his job in May of 2006. Our relationship is 100% genuine. Now comes time to assemble all the evidence of our relationship to submit with the I-751. I really don't want to hire an attorney, and am wondering if this list cuts it, or if you have suggestions to improve it. - tax return for 2006 (my 2005 doesn't list him since he wasn't living here during that year and didn't have a SSN) - 2007-2008 FAFSA (I will start professional school this fall and listed his income info under "spouse") - life insurance policies listing each other as beneficiaries - rent lease agreement naming both of us as tenants. (Our first year's only named me; the current one names both.) - joint checking account statements, and perhaps cancelled checks for rent, etc. written by both of us - plane itineraries and ticket stubs from various trips, including international travel - joint electric bill (I JUST had this changed and added his name). Other utilities do not allow two names on account and are in my name. - photos from various family functions (showing him with our family) and travels - affidavits from my mom and dad, a co-worker of mine, a college friend who has known him since we were dating - receipts from activities we have done together, like going to a language class The other utilities are in my name. His cell phone is in my name and I'm still covered under my family's plan. We each get paid into our own respective checking accounts then "pool" our money into the joint account, which pays for utilities, rent, food, and the credit card in my name (he is an authorized user). We do not own a car since we live in the middle of a large city. I have health insurance through my work and he his; we are not listed on each other's. I would consider adding, say, postcards that his family and others sent to both of us, and other bills/bank statements that may only have my name or his name but show the same address, and an affidavit from his sister who lives in Finland but can write in English. We could also show some documents related to living together in Finland before his immigration to the US. Would any/all of these be needed or recommended? Thanks for your help! that would be a good idea... i included some evidence like that...	Marilyn.	Female	Canada	2007-08-07 14:36:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Change of Address	I am also in a similar situation, but a little different. Since I became conditional resident almost 2 yrs ago, we have moved 3 times in 2 different States, due to job necessity and financial reason. In all the diffent addresses, I filled the change of address form AR 11, (though not within the 10day period as written.) but my partner did not file any form, we are both working > 40hours/week so no one sponsors the other. Given the above situation --> filling more than the 10 days allowed for AR 11 --> my partner never filled I 865 will that be a problem for our application? we changed address for job necessity and financial reasons, will that explanation be enough for the USCIS? Another questions I have. what is the meaning of --> 40 quarters of work; Thank you very much i would file the sponsors notice... yes, you are both working but your partner is still technically your sponsor... also they don't really care why you moved, people move all the time... they just want to know where you moved to.... why then on the I 751 the ask: Have you resided at any other address since you became a permanent resident? (If yes, attach a list of all addresses and dates.) If you answered "Yes" to any of the above, provide a detailed explanation on a separate sheet(s) of paper and refer to "What Initial Evidence Is Required?" to determine do we need to give any explanation as to why the change of address? that is only for the questions that would require a detailed explanation.... like it says you do need to provide a list of all the previous addresses.... I did that and I didn't include an explanation.... 5. Are you in removal, deportation or rescission proceedings? 6. Was a fee paid to anyone other than an attorney in connection with this petition? 7. Have you ever been arrested, detained, charged, indicted, fined or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordianance (excluding traffic regulations), or committed any crime which you were not arrested in the United States or abroad? 8. If you are married, is this a different marriage than the one through which conditional residence status was obtained? 9. Have you resided at any other address since you became a permanent resident? (If yes, attach a list of all addresses and dates.) 10. Is your spouse currently serving with or employed by the U.S. government and serving outside the United States? http://www.uscis.gov.../form/I-751.pdf Edited by MarilynP, 10 August 2007 - 02:15 PM.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Would my list pass?	Hi everyone, I've edited my list and I'd like for anyone to take a look at it and let me know if you think USCIS would accept my proof of a bona fide marriage (NOTE: we will be divorced at the time I file for removal of conditions). Pics and cards we received at our wedding - showing it was a real wedding Boarding Pass - showing we came over here together A bank statement with both our names on it - showing joint assets Title of car (only his name) and letter for Social Security Admin - showing we couldn't put me on the title because I didn't have SSN. E-mails we sent to each other - showing on going relationship Copy of joint gym membership - showing we did things together Copy of Movie Gallery membership with both our names - showing the same A calling card receipt in my name paid with his credit card - showing joint assets Affidaviats from 2 friends NOTE: we don't have health insurance, car insurance is in his name & no lease etc. as we live with his family. Oh and after 4 months there is still no sign of my resident card. Hi Claire I am confused, you don't have a resident card ? when were you approved? mmm, I didn't notice that the first time I read the OP's post... The other thing to notice is that they'll be divorced when filing for removal of conditions. I don't see a timeline, but it sounds like this might be a very short marriage. If so, this may be more difficult than a routine removal of conditions after almost two years of conditional LPR status. Circumstances of the divorce might be relevant, too (is the USC spouse willing to help with removal of conditions?) It may call for an attorney's help, or at the least, a very compelling package of evidence that the marriage was not entered into for immigration purposes. A timeline might help people offer advice. On the face of it, the evidence list looks reasonable, but if the marriage was very short, I'd recommend seeking experienced help. that is what I noticed ... hence the part I made bold in the quote	Marilyn.

It's so confusing & expensive!! you don't need a valid passport to file to remove conditions... and in all likelihood you probably won't have an interview.... they do sometimes happen but they are very rare... I would recommend starting to collect evidence of your marriage.. like joint bills etc.... you will need to send that in with the form...	Marilyn.	Female	Canada	2007-08-15 20:11:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I am So Confused!!!!!!!	the 2nd anniversary of your green card .. not your marriage... If you are filing jointly, the I-751 form must be filed within the 90 days just preceding the expiration date on your permanent residence card. This is the date that your conditional residence expires...... .......within the 90-day period before your second anniversary as a conditional resident so you should send off the form anytime between November 17th, 2007 and the day your card expires...

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Filing on the 27th...	you won't be late... you can file anywhere between 90 days and the day your card expires... you don't have to file exactly at 90 days...	Marilyn.	Female	Canada	2007-08-17 09:59:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I need HELP 'Supporting documents'	ok just found my NOA and this is exactly what it says.... If you have not already done so, provide supporting documents to assist USCIS in processing your petition..... such evidence may include, but is not limited to the following items... *Lease of joint tenanacy *Joint mortgage agreement and/or property deed *Joint ownership of assets *Tax returns *Birth certificates of any children born from the marriage *Joint policies of life, medical and/or car insurance... and because I had already sent in my supporting documents with my original form, I didn't send in anything else.... I guess they just want to give people an opportunity to send stuff in that they may have forgotten to send in the first time ... Edited by MarilynP, 17 August 2007 - 02:48 PM.	Marilyn.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I need HELP 'Supporting documents'	if it was on your NOA, that is something that all NOA's say.... did you already send evidence with your form?? I would think you wouldn't need to send all the same info again, if you have already sent it....	Marilyn.	Female	Canada	2007-08-17 14:36:00
