O.K. to highlight evidence documents for I-751?

[Yurika & Jim 77]

Really?

I've blacked out account numbers on proof from the AOS to now and didn't have any issues with AOS (we're still in the process of ROC). That seems strange - I wonder if that couple went crazy with blacking out information and that skewed their proof.

I blacked out our balance on credit card and bank information, but left the rest - account numbers, our names, address, etc.

Maybe that one who got RFE blacked out too much...

Sorry forgot to mention, the blocking out of the numbers was specifically referenced in my letter requesting more information. "Info was blocked out with black marker" was indicated in letter.

Thanks

I found this.

YES I will black out the account#, recomended by some lawyers too. I cant believe they RFE for that! in addition a cover letter is usually a good idea too.

I think you should mask some of the digits (last 4 digits or so) not the entire number. But who cares really, they have all your information and I am pretty sure they can even get information about you that you don't know!

You already write your SSN, and A# which are pretty important. Bank accounts are not as important... I didn't mask any account or credit card numbers.

I never heard of highlighting and haven't done it, already approved though.

Go v333k go!

I'm going...... I'm going.....

I didn't mask any account or credit card numbers.

Neither did I. We thought about it, but in the end I don't think it really matters as someone else pointed out they can access any information about you if they really wanted to.

Hello all, I know this may be a silly question but I'd like to ask it anyway.

Is it O.K. to use a yellow highlighter to highlight my wife's and I names and address on our evidence documents and statements?

So far we complied the following documents for our I-751:

2008 tax return. (If we can get our 2009 taxes prepared we will include them also)

Lease renewal agreements

Credit card account statements for each month since the conditional greencard was granted (May 15, 2008)

Phone, Cable, and Electricity statements for month since Jan. 2009 (Cannot access prior statements)

Investment accounts (2) Yearly statements

Checking account statement

Beneficiary form from my wife's employment stating that I am the beneficiary.

Beneficiary form from my wife's newly acquired Roth IRA account stating that I am the beneficiary.

Vehicle title showing joint ownership from car purchased after conditional greencard was approved.

Auto Insurance Declarations for last 2 years showing both names covered

Copies of plane tickets, flight details, Vacation passes such as Universal Orlando

Pictures associated with vacations, friends, and family.

On each of those document and statements have our names and address on them of course. I thought it would help the USCIS investigator/reviewer

if our names and address were highlighted just to make it easier for him or her to locate it on the documents/statements.

Has anyone else done this and if so was there any problem with highlighting? Is it recommended to highlight?

Is there any negative or positive associations with highlighting?

Thanks.

Never did the highlighting part. I did write my A # on each page of documents I submitted and got approved in less than 5 months.

We highlighted the "bonafide evidence" documents for I-130 for our initial AOS.
