US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Required vaccionations	I totally spelled "vaccinations" wrong in the post title, sorry!	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2011-02-22 10:00:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Required vaccionations	Hi, all- so my husband lost his vaccination record and is in the process of getting new ones done. If he calls one of the two qualified doctors that perform the visa medical exams will the doctor tell him what shots are needed? It's not like a secret thing that they only tell you after you get your interview appointment, right? Thanks in advance	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2011-02-22 09:58:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	A# and Name on each page of evidence?	HI All, it says on top of the I751 instructions to write your A# and Name for additional papers used to complete an answer. Do I need to put my A# and Name on top of the extra pieces of evidence as well? On top of the bank statements, photo documents, etc? Thank you. I'm planning on printing out small labels with my husband's alien # and adding them to my evidence pages. You never know when they could misplace something.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Gathering evidence for I751	I would get at least 3 affidavits up front. OK, does it matter who they're from? Like, would it be OK if I asked my brother in law, sister and father to submit affidavits? Or is it better to ask friends?	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-01-08 10:00:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Gathering evidence for I751	Hi, everyone. Next month my husband and I will be filing for removal of conditions for his green card. Here is a list of everything I have so far: - joint checking acct statements (acct opened in Sept 2011) - joint savings acct statements (acct opened in Sept 2011) - joint credit card statements (added my husband as joint card member in July 2012) - Cc statement showing plane ticket I purchased to visit him in Paraguay in Feb 2011 while we were waiting for approval -Cc statement showing I purchased his plane ticket to come to US in May 2011 - Tax transcript showing married filing jointly status for 2011 return - tax transcript for this year's tax return showing same status - life insurance policy showing him as beneficiary (added him in 2012) - 401k policy showing him as beneficiary (added him in 2012) - copies of both our drivers licenses showing common address - copies of this years W-2s showing common address and that we both work for same company - Joint auto insurance policy statements (earliest is from June 2010) - photos Note: we haven't gotten our own place yet so we don't have any utility bills in our names. Affidavits I will get if we get an RFE. Do you guys think they will send an RFE since I don't have a lot of stuff from 2011 (he came to states in May 2011)? Also, do you think it helps that we both work for the same company? Thanks in advance.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-01-08 08:37:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	How many months of bankstatments required	What about sending the first statement which lists both owners and the latest statement available before sending packet?	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-01-08 08:58:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 Affidavits	We sent two notarized affidavits, one from father in law and one from sister in law.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-07 18:42:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Our I-751 Package - thoughts?	Thanks for your help Rov -   So in response to your comments, I went to our bank, got a notarized letter showing us a joint account holders living at the same address, as well as every statement of account dating back to when I joined the account, January 2012. As this is not a full 2 years, should we also attach account statements for the 5 months the account was only in my wife's name? Or would that serve no purpose.   I have also copied our entire tax returns for 2011 and 2012.   Finally, I tracked down our health insurance application - per the HR rep at my wife's company this is the only piece of information they have that shows the dates and both our names. They did not know anything about a proof of insurance form.   Any other recommendations from anyone? Any past experience tips?     If any joint account that you have doesn't cover the whole 2 years, state that in your cover letter. My husband got here in 05/11 and we didn't get a joint account until 09/11 because we were waiting for him to get a job first. Plus how can you even add someone to your account if they don't have a social security number? Anyway, yeah, if it looks like you're missing anything just state the reasons.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	RFE and confused	they just said i sent bank statements, photos, and tax. and i should send more evidence (like all the other documents i sent them) that is why i was confused. we don't have any credit cards. i sent them from the marriage and until he passed away. we were only married for less than 2 years and we didn't have any kind of mortgage, children. but i will send them again because the letter never said those aren't enough. it said i didn't send those. If you were living with other people have them write affidavits to state that you were living with them. We don't have kids either so we stated at the bottom of our RFE cover letter that we didn't have children. If they're asking for something you don't have, state the reasons why you don't have those items in your cover letter.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-11 18:36:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I751 approval	VSC is pumping out approvals fast. Most of us February filers have been approved (almost 60%).	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-09 21:18:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	RFE: lack of proof of joint finances. Help!!!	Teddy B, thank you very much for your response! I had already read the guide you linked to, but already knew that unfortunately many things wouldn't apply to our case.   I did send a lease agreement with both of our names, also sent electric bills with both names on it, and a very extensive affidavit from our landlord, which is my husband's mother. We live on a family estate (also explained by my mother in law's affidavit), so they cover the other utilities. I think the USCIS has no further questions on our cohabitation, because the RFE does not mention anything lack of evidence of cohabitation.   If I just send them the 2012 tax return, surely going in for an interview would be the next step, which I have no issue with if that helps resolve this. Has anyone else been in the same shoes of having very little evidence for joint finances?     Cheezees, I think there is no place for snooty sarcasm on a support forum. That's all I can say to that.     Our joint finances evidence didn't cover 2 years so I think that was a reason we also got an RFE. I would just explain everything again and brace for an interview. That's when you will be able to prove that you guys are married for real. Please let us know what happens and I do hope they approve without needing to go through an interview. Best wishes.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	My Case Status, no update after USCIS received RFE Packet (i751)	If your extension is going to expire you just have to go to your local USCIS office and ask for another extension. Also, my case status didn't update either even after I got delivery confirmation for my RFE packet. No touches or anything. So don't worry about that.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-13 15:13:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	FYI - copy of RFE received if you are interested (split topic)	Your RFE has more detail as to why you received an RFE!  Mine just listed everything I submitted in one paragraph and a generic statement like yours at the bottom.   Oh wow, that's weird- that top part where it lists what I sent in isn't even everything that I sent in. I also sent in beneficiary forms showing my spouse as a beneficiary for life insurance and for my 401(k) as well as credit card statements. I guess they didn't deem those items important enough to even look at.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-15 15:35:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	A handful of small questions to help us with our i-751 - comments welcome!	I say you're good to go. Best of luck to you.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-15 15:42:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	751 ?	You should get your receipt number within two weeks of them receiving your packet. Your wife will be sent an extension letter which extends her residency for one year. She should carry that letter with her at all times until she gets the 10 year green card. Six months is just average- it may take up to nine months, even a year.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-15 15:38:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Is RFE Indicated on my Online Case Status?	Hi,   I'm currently out of the US for a couple of weeks and have a pending I-751. It's approaching 5-months since I submitted it.   If an RFE gets sent to my home address in the US, will it be indicated when I check my status online? Or another way of putting it - for those of you who received an RFE: did you know you had one when you logged in to check your status, or did you first become aware of it when you checked your mailbox?   Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.   Didn't get any kind of update on my case status online, we just got the letter in the mail.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-19 16:56:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	How thick?	I think you're fine. I didn't highlight any names. I just put a sticker on the top right hand corner of everything with the name and A# that didn't have his A# on it (all bank statements, credit card statements, etc.).	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-25 10:33:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	ROC Package...anything else I should add?	I think you're golden. Looks like everything is spanning the two years which is what they really want to see. Best of luck!	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-18 20:01:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	about to prepare documents for I-751...preliminary questions	One more (stupid? ) question: Is it ok to send photocopies of bank/credit cards, front and back? Or do we need to send actual bank /credit statements? Send copies of your actual bank/credit statements. And send all the pages of each, don't skip any pages. They must be complete.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	What happens if you fail to renew 2 year GC?	Listen to bigdog, he knows his stuff.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-14 12:06:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	What happens if you fail to renew 2 year GC?	Am I the only one who thinks this whole Adjustment of Status thing is just for getting more money with the fees? If someone can apply for citizenship 3 years after living in the U.S. if married to a U.S. citizen then why require a new green card 2 years after marriage? It's all just about getting money, at least that's how I feel about it...	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-13 16:35:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 February Filers, 2013	Just checking in. Responded to our RFE on 7/30 and it was signed for on 8/1. I agree with weescotlassie, very stressful this time around. I am hoping just to have the GC issued rather than going to interview, but ultimately I was not able to add my husband to our lease so I had to send a letter from our apartment management company explaining that we'd been living together and to call her with questions if they had any. So not ideal, may trigger an interview. On the other hand I did send a full house of joint tax returns and I always feel like those are really strong evidence, so maybe I'll get lucky...   My online status updates do not seem to be working this time round, so I'm just eagerly checking the post every day. Really would like this to be over now.   Best of luck to you, I hope you get approved soon! And I think USCIS loves those joint tax returns, fingers crossed it's enough for them.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 February Filers, 2013	Hi, guys. My husband and I sent our I-751 packet on Feb. 25 and he got his Receipt Notice today, March 4th. And just another question to throw out there: I read somewhere that he will have to take our original marriage certificate to the biometrics appointment, is that true? If so that will cause us some trouble because I have no idea where the original one is. I have a copy of it, though.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-03-04 19:43:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 package and evidence! Worried	I think you're golden. You have evidence spanning many years and a lot of financial evidence.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-10-04 19:39:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	quick NOA1	Yes, you usually get the NOA1 pretty quickly after they receive it. Best of luck!	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2014-07-27 17:24:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Need some RFE advice	Also regarding bank statements, remember to include the entire statement (all pages). I know I've read that some people only sent like the first page of each statement and they got an RFE because of that.  And with tax transcripts, have you tried calling 1-800-829-1040 to request a transcript over the phone?	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2014-07-27 17:29:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 evidence	Guys, we just got our I-751 approved so I figured I would post a list of everything that we sent. The items in red are the items that we sent after we got an RFE. Photocopy of 2011 federal tax transcript showing filing status as ?Married Filing Jointly? for 2011. Photocopy of 2012 federal tax transcript showing filing status as ?Married Filing Jointly? for 2012. Copy of car insurance policy listing both as drivers. Copy of 401(k) account information showing spouse as beneficiary. Copy of life insurance information showing spouse as beneficiary. Photocopies of 2012 W-2s showing shared residence. Photocopy of retail installment sale contract for jointly purchased vehicle showing joint installment loan. Photocopies of checked baggage receipts from a joint trip. Photocopies of joint credit card account statements (old and recent) showing account remains active. Photocopies of joint checking/saving account statements (old and recent) showing accounts remain active. Photocopies of driver licenses showing shared residence. Photocopy of Vehicle Registration for jointly purchased vehicle showing shared residence. Photocopy of application for Social Security card showing shared residence. Various photos. Notarized affidavit from sister-in-law. Notarized affidavit from father-in-law. *Also, at the end of your cover letter, if you are missing any important items then say why you don?t have them. For example we were living with my father so we included a copy of his driver's license to show that all the addresses matched up. We also stated how we didn't have children as of yet and that we didn't keep copies of any money transfers or phone records over the course of our marriage. *Another note: don't sent copies of tax returns, send TRANSCRIPTS from IRS. On our RFE they asked us for a transcript of our 2012 tax returns when we only sent a copy of the forms.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2013-08-07 18:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	More depressed than ever	This was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. The only thing you can do is be patient and try not to think about the time away from your loved one. Just live your life and have faith that everything will turn out beautifully.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	CR1 - Intial Review - Post decision Activity - Intial review	Same thing happened to me! This morning I get a text and email saying my case was sent back to TSC when it was actually approved on 1/14 and transferred to NVC on 2/23. Don't trust the USCIS emails!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Bonafide Marriage proof??	I have a question, my husband and I just got married on Dec 2, 2010. I currently live in Houston, and he lives in Tijuana. We don't have any financial or co-ownership of anything yet since we have not had the chance to start living together permanently. What can be sent as proof of a bonafide marriage?? We have pictures together from the many trips that I have taken to see him, and email communication. But other than that what can be classified as bonafide if we haven't had the chance to live together. Where I live they wont allow me to put him on the lease until he actually moves here, and the bank also wont allow me to add him to my bank account because he is not present. Please help???? I want to get the packet in as soon as possible so that we can start our lives together. Thanks! I was married for less than a month when I submitted my petition. I included my marriage certificate, page of witnesses signatures, and a few photos. Remember, you don't want to bombard the officer reviewing your case with TOO many items (that would make the process take even longer). PM me if you need any help with anything else and I'll be glad to help. Edited by J e n n y, 25 January 2011 - 11:49 AM.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2011-01-25 11:47:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	2010 TAX ? whats the best way ? Extend or Single or Married	Well, yes, it is, actually. I'm stating that on another tax related document, it was clearly expressed to tick the "single" box if your spouse has no SS. W4 and W2 are related. So, using the same language, one could infer that if your spouse has no SS, you have the option of filing as "single", just as you are REQUIRED to tick the single box on a W4. Now, I know there are other options, like requesting the temp identification number and paper filing, however, I don't believe this is the only possibility. I have called the IRS today to get the information, but their computers are down. Brilliant. 10 days to go, and I get a "call back later". Exactly! I wouldn't take anyone's tax advice on here. Everyone's situation is different.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2011-04-06 07:12:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	2010 TAX ? whats the best way ? Extend or Single or Married	There is no way that a visa would be denied because the petitioner filed single. On the tax form it's called "filing status" NOT "marital status." The consulate officials know all about it.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2011-04-06 07:10:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	2010 TAX ? whats the best way ? Extend or Single or Married	On the W-4 form, under item 3 (where you mark single, married or or married but withhold at higher single rate, it clearly states, "Note: If married, but legally separated, or your spouse is a nonresident alien, check the "single" box." Also, check out Notice 1392, Supplemental Form W-4 Instructions for Nonresident Aliens.	J e n n y	Female	Paraguay	2011-04-05 09:10:00
