Hello!

It's almost that time for me and I want to make sure I got this on the first attempt. Can you take a look and see if you would do any modifications?

q I-751 Form (with additional sheet for addresses)

q Check with fee $590

q Copy of green card

q Copy of tax returns

q Proof of credit cards together

q Copy of bank statement showing both of our paychecks being deposited there

q Copy of leases for previous addresses

q Copy of utility for a previous address

q Copy of HUD for home purchase

q Copy of mortgage payments

q Copy of HOA statements

q Copy of annual property taxes

q Copy of health insurance benefits

q Copy of DMV correspondence sent to both, to the same address

q Copy of homeowners insurance

Reading other posts, I see that, some people, received RFEs for more proof of commingled finances over the span of their marriage. So, the million dollar question is... for items such as bank statements.. how many should I add? I can also include copies of my pay stubs, showing that my paycheck has been deposited, in full, into our account, since the beginning of time. I have ALL mortgage payments and HOA statements, should I send them all too?

I can get affidavits and I can make copies of cards... but, do we really need to? :protest:

Suggestions, are welcome and much appreciated.

Thank you,

Celeste

Good start, C-Bone. Congratulations on reaching this stage.

One financial-type statement per quarter is good.

Do the same for mortgage payments & HOA statements.

Affidavits are suggested only when other evidence is weak.

Be sure that you copied both sides of the green card.

Consider crafting wills, medical powers of attorney, and similar documents. These make excellent evidence for ROC, and they're even more crucial to have in "life."

Thanks T! I'll take your advise! I got some more things today and I need to wait for the transcripts.

Something occurred to me, though. I'm going down to Argentina for a week. I'm flying a few days after, my 90 days from GC anniversary. By the time I fly, I won't have a NOA1 to carry with me.

That should not matter at all, right? I'll only be gone for 1 week.

If your conditional green card is still valid when you fly there and back, there should be no problem. Call the CBP station at your U.S. airport to ask. Let us know what they say.

Right. You won't need the NOA 1 year extension letter until your green card is actually expired.
