HI,

I lost my copies of my I-751 and my submittals. Is it possible to request a copy of this from the USCIS and how do I do it.

THANK YOU.

Sorry to say it's very unlikely you could get a complete copy from them. There's a possibility you might be able to get a copy of something specific, but you would have to call them, or try asking at an Infopass appointment, if those are available in your area. You could try writing to the relevant service center's director, perhaps ... appeal to their humanity, good nature, whatever works! I reckon it might be better to ask for a copy of something specific rather than the whole thing.

To show miracles can happen ... We screwed up at our AOS interview stage, but we were lucky and had a decent interviewer guy. (I think he and Kyle ('Tex') had both been tankers in the military, or something like that.) Anyway, we were all chatting so much we both forgot to ask him if he could make copies of the tax papers and let us have the originals back. Luckily we remembered the interviewer's name afterwards, so we wrote to him explaining our mistake and asking if he could possibly make copies and return the originals. He actually did help, although he provided copies not the originals, and I had to go back to the center to collect the envelope quietly from the security guard at the door ... B) but if we ever get audited we can show we once had the paperwork now. That's better than nothing, we hope!

Anyway, good luck and let us know how you get on.

You can get copies and transcripts from the IRS themselves. Transcripts are free. I think you can get more detailed certified copies as well.

There is really nothing special about the I751 package - no notarized statements etc. are needed, only copies of lease/rentals/bank/medical/insurance statements are submitted - you can recreate the packet without much work the way I see it. Good Luck

Motu -

I assumed the OP meant the originals of whatever the OP sent have gone astray, which would mean it couldn't necessarily be recreated exactly ... That's how I read it anyway. But of course I may have misunderstood. I agree a similar version would certainly be doable, either using different months' statements or trying to get the relevant companies to produce duplicates, no doubt for a price. (Tammi - thanks for mentioning that the tax man will send copies too!) Unfortunately it would get more complicated if the OP didn't have joint deed/mortgage/lease docs and included one off items such as letters, affidavits, receipts, whatever else. But hopefully the OP only wants the darn thing for its comfort value anyway!

All the best,

Brit
