Looks like you have some great evidence there

Does the joint lease show that you have lived together for the past two years? If you have lived elsewhere during the past two years you should also include copies of that lease too.

Make sure that the bank statement copies are complete statements and not just the front pages.

It also helps to include copies of utility bills with both of your names on them covering the same time span.

Just make sure everything is neat and organized for them and make copies for your own records of anything important, such as when you mailed the package etc.

We sent a personal check, it is easier to track when they cash a check.

Good luck!!!!!

In addition to what has been stated, may I also suggest that your joint account statements cover the span of your marriage; not just the most recent month.

Wish you the best!

Look good to me, don't forget the cover letter. For the fee, check or money order is fine I think, for myself I prefer check. Good Luck

Hi Champagneclara,

Your list of evidence for the I-751 looks good enough to submit! You definitely have a lot of relevant stuff, and more likely than not shouldn't get an RFE. Yes, you've covered pretty much everything there, both financially and personally. Make sure too that all your evidence covers the entire span of your marriage and conditional residency.

If you need more ideas, here is a list of evidence that I submitted for the I-751 a few months ago:

As well, make sure to include the application fee and biometrics fee ($545 total), which you can pay by check (I did mine this way by personal cheque/check from our joint account) or money order.

Good luck on your I-751 and the rest of your immigration journey too.

P.S. For your credit card information, I think you meant "Direct Merchant's Bank", and not "Merchant's Direct Bank"...

When I sent my package I also sent a bank letter, this showed when the account was opened, the average balance, type of account, account holders, etc. You can ask your bank to do this for you. It's better than sending just the recent statement. The more you sent them the better. I even sent work letters from my job and my husband's.

I would not include State tax returns-too much clatter. They are not required.

Make sure that Fed Tax returns are complete with all schedules.

I see a big problem (my guess is most RFE because if it) with bank statements. You dont need to include all pages of bank statements-front is enough to show names, address and that account is active. But you need to have statements covering all marriage period-not every statement and one at the beginning of marriage, middle, recent...

The same for credit cards-old statements and new ones.

Same for pictures-they should span.. It is well known that fraud files have pictures made in one day-just they would change outfits and go from appartment to restaurant, etc. I think officers know that (I especially selected pictures where I had short hair and long hair, blond and dark-it takes years to grow hair; it was just in case). So, I spaned my pictures from dating -wedding-to recent month and some on vacation, some at home, with families, etc; not like both of us posing - it was clear that they indeed span a few years (we gained and lost weight too:(

I was approved. So, I guess my file was more or less in order. We had a lot of docs. But all (utility bills, credit cards, store cards, family phone plan, etc) have spanned for about 3 years. We have included about 4 statements for each type of doc. And in cover letter it was specified that like -join bank statements (from Sep 2005 till Nov 2007), etc.

What do you think of this list of documents? Is it OK?

I have everything, but the 2 affidavits that I will have this week. Will probably send my I 751 at the end of the week.
