Hello everybody!

I sent my docs to remove conditions last august, couple month ago i got an email that we did not provide enough documents to prove "good faith" marriage.

We sent 3 tax returns, couple bills, con ed and national grid bills, photos.

This time we are trying to obtain more documents, i went to see a lawyer and he told me to write cover letter, explaining my evidence.

Had anybody wrote something similar? I have no idea how to create it.

Thanks!

If you look in the example forms, there's an example cover letter for I-751: http://www.visajourney.com/examples/Cover_Letter_for_I-751.doc

A cover-letter is more for your own reference than anything. One is not required.

You seem to have sent relatively little evidence. Do you have wills, medical powers of attorney, and similar documents? These are excellent for ROC, and they're even more valuable to have in "life."

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

If you do a search for "I-751 cover letter" there are many that come up in the results.

But as TBone said, it's more of a reference for you. You need to include more financial co-mingling evidence.

The USCIS likes to see evidence that shows you are combining your lives together. They really like financial comingling--i.e. joint bank accounts, joint credt cards, joint investment accounts, joint lease or home ownership, pay upon death, beneficiary of financial accounts you cannot be a joint owner, QUIT CLAIM DEED for the property to place it in the survicing spouse's name, wills, health insurance, health care power of attorney. Other things that might help are itinary of trips taken together and photos of those trips. I put together a cover letter that stated that we were filing the I-751 to remove my the conditions placed on my wife's LPR status and that we were two people who decided to get married and live our lives together and not for the purposes of defrauding the US government. I then listed the evidenc that was included--this was more for my benefit so I could organize it and make certain I included everything I wanted to. I feel that by putting a statement that the beneficiary did not use the visa for immigration fraud and you both sign it is an attestation to that fact and that forces the USCIS to find more evidence that your marriage is not bona fide, IMHO.

So create a cover letter and add to your evidence.

I saw a post here recently where someone claimed that when your package is opened at USCIS they only care about your documents containing the evidence, and they just throw out everything else, including the cover letter. If that is true then it doesn't matter what you put in the cover letter.

Cover letter is not required, they don't mind reading one. It only makes your package formal. Good luck.
