Every month or every quarter from wedding if possible :) same with any other accounts you have/had.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

We sent what we thought was a representative sample with our initial packet and got an RFE.

We then sent every bank and credit card statement including transaction pages with our response which amounted to something like 250 pages. We got approved a month later.

Obviously we think you should send it all. ?

Good luck!

Is the last 7 months bank statement enough?

No. You have to cover last 2 years. Don't just send last 7 months.

I used 3 statements that were 9 months apart, some people send quarterly statements, some send every month but the key is to span last two years not just recent months.

Thank you all!

I thought all the montly statements would be too much, but it looks like I have to send them all.

Happy New Year to all:)

What did you send at first? My husband (US citizen and Law Enf. Officer) is convinced we only need the latest statement. We are also sending almost 50 pictures, documents with each other as beneficiaries of retirement funds and insurance policies, taxes, joint car insurance, joint vehicle purchase, shared phone plan, shared trivial accounts (costco, amazon, etc) and affidavits, of course. Our initial packet (AOS) was almost 200p so there isn't a lot more we can add to that.

Our original ROC packet sounds very similar to what you are listing. If I were you I would include all joint bank and credit card statements going back to your marriage.  

 

Is it possible you will get approved with fewer statements? Yes, but we would have gladly sent the extra statements in the beginning if it meant we had less of a chance of getting an RFE.

 

In the end, the RFE was not a huge deal, so even if you get one, just read what else they are looking for and put together your response.

 

Good luck!

Thanks! I convinced him so we sent 4 statements per year. I think that should be good. We'll see. I mailed the package already so the wait begins.

I bet that will do the trick. Now all you have to do is wait.

 

Just so you know, our RFE came at the same time everyone else in our group was getting approved.  Hopefully you'll get an approval instead of a blue letter. ?
