US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Affidavit of Support	I didn't provide any sort of bank information at all, just tax transcripts since 2004 and copy of my 2007 return, a copy of my w-2, 3 most recent pay stubs, and a letter from my employer. I'm hoping this will be enough to show I have sufficient income because I'm sure if I'd even included anything about my checking account it would work the other way for me. At any given time I can have anywhere from over $2k to under $200 depending on the time of the month. If I'd gotten my statement from the bank after my bills and rent were paid then it would look as if I had nothing in my account and probably work against me in the long run.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2008-04-16 08:59:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	DS 230 part I accidentally not signed - problem?	Anyone know if we should send it back asap or wait and see if we get an RFE?	sarah&rob	Female	England	2008-04-16 21:48:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	DS 230 part I accidentally not signed - problem?	Thanks for the response Sanjiv For K-1 we only need to complete Part 1 of DS-230...I guess he was just looking at the end of Part2 where it says do not sign until instructed by consulate and the signature spot for part 1 is so small and easily missed. Oh well, I'll have him make another copy and sign it. Should we send it back right away or wait till we get the RFE notice?	sarah&rob	Female	England	2008-04-16 10:08:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	DS 230 part I accidentally not signed - problem?	I was just talking to my fiance and we were discussing packet 3 and the forms he sent back to the Embassy in London yesterday morning. I asked him if he'd signed all the proper forms and he told me which he signed and which he hadn't and mentioned the DS-230 pt I. Will this cause us to get an RFE? or would they at this point just give him the interview date and wait until he's there to sign it? I'm not entirely worried about it, the stress is beyond me right now and I'm just still relieved that we've gotten this far in such a short amount of time. Just one of those things that I'm wondering if anyone else has been through and what happened to you. Thanks in advance	sarah&rob	Female	England	2008-04-15 23:49:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	DS-156 Question 30	QUOTE (eric_and_teresa @ May 18 2008, 06:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wouldn't it be a lot easier if you asked your fiance if he ever applied for a B-2 Visa or if he traveled under the VWP? I'm sure he knows better than us, we are only guessing here. Also, the DS-156 is supoused to be completed by the Visa Applicant (Foreign fiance). A U.S. Visa is not a stamp, U. S. Visas look like a sticker that has been glued to your passport and has your picture on it. He's stressed and for some reason won't join this site, so I'm left to ask everything for him He is the one filling out the form, i'm just asking the questions to pass the info on to him - but thank you for clearing that up about the visa thing	sarah&rob	Female	England	2008-05-24 10:11:00

The information of the place that he visa was issued, is on the visa under "issuing post name". hmm I guess I'm not really sure what that means...sorry, stress has fried my brain He flew from UK to New Jersey and they stamped his passport. It's just a stamp from the people in Newark Airport. Is this a B2 Tourist Visa and then what would he put for the "where was it issued"?

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Evidence - Affidavits from friends/family	No worries, you'll do fine. From what I read, you have about the same evidence as we send in and I'm not worried at all. My wife owns three houses but doesn't pay mortgage or utilities and the houses are in her name only, so we couldn't use those either. We do own two cars though, shared ownership, and if I were you, I would just add him to the title for the sake of it.. I mean, it wouldn't hurt if you did and it is only extra evidence that he is listed on the title, meaning he actually owns half of it I think that especially the financial things are good for them to see in joint owner ship. We don't have joint credit cards either but a joint bank account is good to have instead. If he has a state ID with address on it, you can also copy that one together with a copy of your driver license. That way you have another way of proving that you live on the same address. Thank you He does not presently have a State ID, but since it is all done through the Motor Vehicle Commission, he can do that the same time we do the title change. Probably a good idea for him to have one anyways since presently his only forms of ID are his GC and his passport and it's doubtful we'll be able to afford for him to get his license anytime in the near future. I hope everything we will have will be enough!	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-01-21 17:40:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Evidence - Affidavits from friends/family	I'm sure it is allowed, even more so because these affidavits are only secondary evidence (which makes sense because it VERY easy to fake these) and not required at all if your other evidence is strong (for example, we didn't file them). The only thing matters is that they actually declare something, how it is written doesn't really matter imho Yeah, we don't really have STRONG evidence... we live with my mother and pay her rent, no utilities. She will be writing an affidavit as well stating that we live with her and pay rent and have done so as a couple since he arrived on his K-1 in 2008. The only phones we have are cell phones with a family plan and the account is under my name with him as the second line. This totally doesn't prove anything though :/ I was able to get print outs of my Pension & Life insurance beneficiaries with him listed as "spouse" and "primary" beneficiary. I was also able to get a print out of my State Health Benefits with him listed as "spouse" and saying they got proof of that with our wedding date listed and that it was approved. My job also just switched their dental insurance so I have a copy of the application for that with him listed as my spouse. The only thing with that is that it only has *my* part filled out and not the Employer part. Reason for that is because I work in my town's public library and for things like health insurance and dental insurance we are covered under the town, though we stand alone on other things, like the payroll. We filled out our portion and the application was whisked away to the municipal building so I don't even know if I could get a copy of it completely filled out or if that doesn't even matter. I also have transcripts of our taxes from 2008 and 2009 when we filed jointly and could possibly have 2010's copy if he gets his W-2 in time. We have bank statements for our joint checking and savings accounts that we opened shortly after we were married. Right now off the top of my head I can't think if we have more. We haven't taken any trips - can't afford it He doesn't drive because we can't afford to add him to the car insurance. He has a car that was a gift from my aunt & uncle but the title & insurance are in my name. We would pay the extra $60 to have his name added to the title if it would make a difference, but I don't know if only doing that NOW would be suspicious. I am in a debt management program so I would not be allowed to open a joint credit card account with him, so we don't have that. Neither of us like our picture being taken so we don't have many of us together	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-01-21 11:35:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Evidence - Affidavits from friends/family	Hi everyone!! Back on VJ after 2 years, we should be filing for ROC next month so I am currently gathering together everything we'll need. My question about the sworn affidavits needed...do they only have to be from one person per affidavit? Or could my brother & sis-in-law sign one together. They traveled with us to Las Vegas and were there when we got married and we were invited to their wedding as husband and wife so the affidavit would say ..."blah blah blah.......We traveled with Sarah and Robert to Las Vegas, NV and we were both present at their wedding. We invited them to our wedding as a married couple." Then they would both sign it in presence of a notary. Anyone know if that would allowed or if they would have to each do one separately?	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-01-20 16:13:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Not sure if we have enough	Thanks everyone for the advice. It has really helped me put it all in perspective and given me some good ideas for what I can add and given me more confidence in my evidence I seriously don't know what I'd do without VJ through this whoooole process.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-02-16 10:31:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Not sure if we have enough	In addition, I am advising you to fill out a formal rental contract between your mom and you and your husband. Date it back to the day you moved in as a couple. Combined with some checks, that's as good as it gets to cover the pillar of cohabitation. You covered taxes, which is pillar two, and co-mingling of finances, which is the third and last pillar. Thank you for easing my mind In regards to a formal rental contract with my mom, our arrangement is very informal and any of the free forms I have looked at have all these extra clauses and rules that don't apply to us. We don't really have any restrictions or rules, we all share food, we all share the full house. We just write my mom a check every month to help out and call it "rent". That's why I chose to have her do the affidavit and get it notarized. If it will really make a serious difference though, I guess I can always find a room rental contract or something and just delete all the stuff that doesn't apply to us.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-02-16 10:25:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Not sure if we have enough	This thread got a little side-tracked. I think your evidence looks great. What I did is put a page right behind the application form called EVIDENCE I AM NOT SENDING AND REASONS WHY NOT 1. Joint lease or mortgage 2. Utility bills in both names 3. Etc..... Then I wrote a short explanation addressing those things. I think it's good to let them know you didn't just leave it out and they know a little more about your lifestyle. I also didn't change my name. Don't think they will care. Thank you so much. That's such a great idea, I would have never thought about doing something like that!	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-02-15 18:56:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Not sure if we have enough	A notarised affadavit has to be signed by a notary public otherwise it is just an affadavit. Am not sure if the family affadavits are applicable as they could be seen as predjudice being family members who aren't going to say anything against you. Just a thought is all, I would personally get affadavits from friends or work colleagues who know of your situation and know about your living arrangements. Well my issue is that I was married in Las Vegas. The only people who were there with us were my two brothers and my brother's fiancee (now my sis-in-law). That is why I asked my bro & sis-in-law to do one for us. My husband has no friends here and my friends all live in different states. My one friend who I did ask to do one (and hopefully will be getting it notarized tomorrow and then mailing to me asap *cross fingers*) lives in Texas and we went to visit her last March...so she is the only of my friends to see us together as a married couple. The one from my mom is in place of a lease or rent agreement because we don't have that. We just give her a check every month. Edit - None of my co-workers have ever spent time with my husband & I together. Some of them have met him, but they don't know how we are together just hanging out...if we are happy, etc. The most they could put in an affidavit is that they have seen us together in the same room once.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Not sure if we have enough	Hello. What's a Notarized Affidavit? And what is that for? Thank You and Good Luck! http://www.visajourn...751_support.doc It's a statement from friends/family saying they have known you since you were married, see you and your spouse together living as a happy married couple and whatnot. I have seen people say they aren't really necessary but it says in the I-751 instructions that you should have at least 2. They're mostly helpful like in my case where we don't have *any* joint utilities to show.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-02-15 16:01:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Not sure if we have enough	I am getting very worried now, reading how others got an RFE and how I have similar evidence to send in. First - we have no joint utilities. We live with my mom in the house I grew up in and everything is in her name or my dad's name (he passed away in March 2009). I had her get a notarized affidavit, but do you think I should include printouts of the cashed checks from my bank online account as more proof? We only got a joint checking account for the purpose of paying rent in the beginning of 2010. Before that the checks would only have my name. We opened our joint savings account in November 2008 shortly after we got married but I can't find any of the mailed statements from that far back. Also, I have not changed my last name to his and I am hoping this does not look bad for us. It is just my personal preference for certain reasons, but I may choose to change it in the future. I feel sometimes like I am overthinking things, but I don't know. This is a list of everything we have: Removal of Conditions - Form I-751 - Check for $590 ($505 filing fee + $85 biometrics fee) - Copy of Resident Alien Card (front & back) Supporting Documents - Copy of 2010 Federal & NJ e-file 1040 from tax prep group (Married Filing Jointly) with copies of both Robert Lastname’s and Sarah Lastname’s W-2s - Tax Transcript for 2009 (Married Filing Jointly) - Tax Transcript for 2008 (Married Filing Jointly) - Copy of Sarah’s Pension & Life Insurance Beneficiary pages from State of NJ online system showing Robert as Primary Beneficiary - Copy of Sarah’s Health Benefits page from State of NJ online system showing Robert as spouse & showing they had seen proof of marriage. - Copies of Health Insurance Cards for Robert Lastname & Sarah Lastname showing same ID #s - Copies of Dental Insurance applications from Sarah’s place of employment listing Robert as spouse - Copies of Sarah Lastname’s NJ Driver License & Robert Lastname’s NJ State ID showing same address - Copy of car title showing joint ownership - Copies of Account Summary for Joint Savings Account & Joint Checking Account from Peapack-Gladstone Bank Online Account showing both names and opening dates - Copy of a Savings Account statement & Copy of a Checking Account Statement both mailed from Peapack-Gladstone Bank - Notarized Affidavit from Janet Lastname with whom Sarah & Robert reside (in lieu of lease or rent agreement) - Notarized Affidavit from Stephen & Jessica Lastname (brother & sister-in-law) - Notarized Affidavit from Misty Lastname (friend) - Photographs of Sarah & Robert documenting various times together since they were married on October 31, 2008 What do you all think? Any advice for additional evidence we could provide?	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-02-15 15:27:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Bank Statements with I-751	Pardon my ignorance but do "normal" married couple really uses joint bank account for their direct deposit pay check and normal everyday activities? I mean me and my husband do have a joint acount but we only use it to save money for things like vacations and immigration fees And I wish we could affort for the balance to be high the one page I sent shows a little over a year of activities... (to tell you there's not much activity in that account) Didn't get a RFE yet... Was I suppose to have a "normal" marriage these past 2 years or live my life in order to meet USCIS vision of what marriage should be? (wish I could see their joint bank statement if they have one) I consider we are a happy couple and share all the normal stuff and hopefully proof of that will be enough to satisfy them I would think It's already good enough that you guys have a joint account and wouldn't worry too much bout how many pages you send... lol my husband and I have 2 joint accounts - a savings account & a checking account. The savings account we use only like you, to put a little extra money in there when we have it to save up for things we might want to do later. Our joint checking account we only use to pay my mom rent and not that it makes a difference, but we put the $590 in there so it will have both our names on the check when we send our packet. I have my own account for my own direct deposit paycheck and he has his own for his paycheck. I wouldn't worry if I were you, we are sending statements for our joint savings showing the few deposits and some withdrawals and our joint checking we just are sending a few statements. I also attached printouts from my bank account online of the checks we gave my mom for rent to the notarized affidavit she wrote (since we don't have a formal rental agreement). Your situation sounds "normal" to me and I thought what we were doing was "normal"...maybe I'm wrong though!	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-02-21 10:15:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Bank Statements with I-751	Don't know about bank statements, but the other day I got pulled over by a cop who wanted to see my driver license. I made him wait until I had blacked out my address with a black marker so that he can't visit me at home and stalk me. You never know . . . Ha...ha... No need to be snarky. It was a legit question and written with concern to identity theft and the "what if" of someone besides the USCIS getting a hold of our papers, a concern of my husband after seeing what my brother went through after being a victim of identity theft. I do realize that someone could probably do much more damage getting a hold of our SS#s, but in your words...it is true - "You never know"	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-02-19 13:16:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Bank Statements with I-751	Figured I'd reply to this thread since it's on topic rather than start a new one... Did anyone black out part or all of the account numbers? I'm just wary of "allowing" people to see my full account number along with the names on the account. And I'm only sending front pages. It shows previous balance, numbers of deposits and withdrawals and ending balance so I figure they can easily tell the account is active.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-02-19 09:43:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I think we took bad advice	Thank you guys for the responses. I have an appt for Thursday to amend my taxes, I am little pissed at him but you live and you learn. Good luck with everything...tax time is stressful	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-02-15 13:10:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I think we took bad advice	I had something similar happen. I am the USC and I have a full-time better paying job than my husband. He works part time at a grocery store and when he was first hired, his boss put "Married" on his W4 form so this year he made around $12k and they only took out $20 for federal withholding. When I changed my W4 at work, they have a box to check "Married, but withhold at higher single rate". I had that box checked so they tax me at the single rate even though I am married. When we had our taxes done, we ended up owing money because they didn't take enough from my husband (thankfully it was only like $45 that we owed to federal). Our tax people then advised us and I had him bring a new W4 to work that put the same - "Married, but withhold at higher single rate". So far that seems to be working because in his last paycheck they withheld $10 instead of $0 or $.50 or whatever that they had done previously. Your husband should definitely NOT file his taxes as "SINGLE" because he is married. You can file Married Filing Separately or Married Filing Jointly. We were advise at our tax session that if you file Married/Separate that you will not get as much of a tax break as if you filed Married/Joint. I also tested this out on the free Turbo Tax online and when I did it Married/Separate I owed over $500 just by myself because I couldn't include my Student Loan interest and did not get the tax break. I took this year as a learning experience and even though I was angry because we wanted to use our tax refund to go back to the UK to visit my husband's family, at least we only owed $45 and not more. Now I know more about the whole process and won't make mistakes in the future.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-02-15 11:08:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	How to send package?	I just sent my package to VT Service Center. I used the larger Express Envelope...the one that is not stiff cardboard but more like a flexible plastic-y type material. Mine would not fit in the cardboard envelope only because of the clips I used to hold my papers together. I also had Return Receipt Requested, it was delivered and signed for, no problem.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-02-26 12:54:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Cover letter for Removal of Conditions	The VJ example only shows the US spouse signature, but since it is a joint petition based on marriage, my husband and I both signed it. I've read other people did that as well. As for organization, it's up to you. We put cover letter, I-751 form with check paper clipped on top, copy of Green Card, strongest evidence first (tax forms, life insurance policies, joint bank accounts, etc), weaker evidence in the back (Notarized affidavits from mom for rent, from mutual friend who we visited in TX, from bro & sis-in-law who were at our wedding in Vegas, and photos). We sent actual photos with a post it attached to each batch explaining what they were from and the date they were taken. We didn't have too many so I just used one of those metal binder clips that has the "wings" you fold up to pinch it opened and then fold down once you clip it to hold them all together.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-02-27 12:28:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Evidences for I-751.	I think the best thing to have is your taxes Married Filing Jointly and you have that for 3 years. You have joint bank accounts which show you are joining your finances together. You have joint utilities. You have a business together. Most of your evidence is good strong evidence. Do you have health insurance? If so, you can make a copy of your cards showing the same account number Here is the thread with my list - http://www.visajourn...33#entry4479533 I had the same worry that I did not have enough evidence, but according to others I did. I think they much prefer you to have fewer things that are strong evidence than a lot of evidence that doesn't really prove anything, you know what I mean??

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Evidences for I-751.	I think what you have looks fine. We had some similar stuff, and also do not have joint credit cards because I am in a debt management program and I cannot have any credit cards in my name. I also included a bit about us living with my mom so we did not have any joint utilities. Only thing I see that I don't think you need is the passport size photos. According to instructions, you only need those if you "reside overseas persuant to military or Government orders, including conditional resident dependents residing overseas and listed under Part 5 of the form". With that you'd also need fingerprint cards. They will take new photos of you & get fingerprints at the biometrics appointment.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	ROC- NOA-I received - filed March 8,2011	No need to worry! That is what everyone's says It is just saying to send that stuff if you haven't already...and they extend your status for 1 year while they process your application. That allows you to continue your life as normal even after your physical green card expires...continue in your job if you have one, get your driver license extended if you need to, etc... Now you just need to wait for your biometrics appointment letter. Edited by sarah&rob, 19 March 2011 - 01:26 PM.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-03-19 13:25:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	passport copies, passport size photos,etc?	You're welcome I just figure that at this point they are asking for proof of your continuing marriage, so the passport doesn't really prove anything to them. It doesn't show any address or other relevant information that they need. If they wanted copies of that, they would put that in the instructions. I'm not sure why others might put them in there, but we did not.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-03-19 13:32:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	passport copies, passport size photos,etc?	Oops, waited too long to edit my last post...in regards to copies of our passports, we did not put that in because I think at this point that would not be relevant.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Rental agreement / Deed	My husband and I had the same problem. We simply included a notarized affidavit from my mom stating that we live together in her home since he entered the US on [date] and pay her [X amount] of rent per month. Then for more solid evidence I attached printouts from my online bank account of the deposited checks from our joint checking account...some signed by me, some signed by him. You probably don't have to get affidavits notarized, but my boss is a notary so it was just easy to get it done. We didn't want to go through getting a more formal rental type agreement and backdating it because our situation is not at all formal...the affidavit should definitely be enough.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-03-23 17:53:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Question regarding i751 filing	Yeah I meant USC spouse. Thanks for your response. You're welcome I am not 100% sure, but like I said...since the I-751 instructions say the purpose of the form is for the conditional resident to petition to remove conditions, I can only assume that it only applies to the foreign spouse and not the USC.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-03-26 15:17:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Question regarding i751 filing	"Petitioners" being whom? If you mean the foreign spouse, yes it does apply...if you have been arrested or whatever since moving to the US, you have to supply them with the information asked for in the instructions. If you mean the USC spouse, I'm assuming probably that it does not apply since the application is technically for the foreign spouse to remove the conditions of his/her conditional green card. Someone may correct me if I am wrong, but that's how I see it making the most sense.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-03-26 12:59:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Please review and advise my evidence	Evidence looks good to me! You said you don't have a driver license... my husband doesn't either yet, but he did get a State ID. Then I just made a photocopy of my driver license and his state ID next to each other to show we lived at the same address. (Congrats on the baby!! My brother's wife is having a baby in October too, and I am so excited to be an aunt )	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-04-06 14:30:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Timing Question	It doesn't matter if you send it two weeks after the 90day window, just as long as it is sent within the 90 days. I wouldn't wait too close to the end though. Our 90day window opened on Feb 10th and we sent everything on the 23rd.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-04-07 15:58:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Where can be find a "affidavit of marriage relationship form"?	Thank you for details. Now I want to ask if is a problem about the "#A" from the sample form,because in the green card is "A#". You're welcome We left it as it was, I didn't even realize it was #A instead of A# until you pointed it out! I just went back to my file and saw. I really don't think it matters, I can't see it being a problem if you change it. They should know what it means either way.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-04-11 15:10:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Where can be find a "affidavit of marriage relationship form"?	The affidavit is just a statement by people that know you and your spouse as a married couple. You can find an example http://www.visajourn...ontent/examples under the Lifting of Conditions (I-751) Related Forms. There is no "official" affidavit form from USCIS. They aren't required for removing conditions, but can be helpful if you lack a good amount of primary evidence. As a personal example, we sent several affidavits... One from my mother with whom we live since we do not have joint utilities because it is her house and we do not have a formal rental/lease agreement and we also attached copies of the rent checks we gave her from our bank account online after she deposited them showing we both actively use the account and both of us participate in paying rent. One from my brother/sis-in-law who flew to Las Vegas with us and were present and witnesses to our marriage and who we spend a lot of time with hanging out. And one from my best friend who is basically the reason my husband and I met, so she has known us both before we were even a couple. We also stayed with her for a week where she lives in TX and has seen us as a married couple. We do not have any joint credit cards, loans, no joint car insurance (though we are both listed on the title for one of our cars) so we felt sending the affidavits would only add to our case.	sarah&rob	Female	England	2011-04-10 19:56:00
