Are my Ducks in a Row?

[lechatnoir 0]

Hi guys,

I am preparing my package to send out... we did our first green card with a lawyer so I'm kinda nervous preparing all these documents myself! Please help me make sure I'm doing this right.

1. I can't find anything on the form that says how much it is? Are there two checks to send again? One for the fee and one for biometrics?

My Evidence:

- Joint bank account statement with both our names and address

- Letters from my employer stating that my husband is beneficiary on my 401k and life insurance (do these have to be notorized? They are on company stationary) & copies of the signed beneficiary forms.

- Receipt from Orbitz showing we paid for 2 tickets to Denmark in April of this year with both our names on it

- Amex statement showing both our names and copies of the two credit cards

- Car insurance verification of coverage statements showing both our names at the same address (current policy and previous)

- Copy of our current lease showing both of us as leasees (this is a new lease from the last time we filed)

- Copy of a signed joint loan at our credit union

- Another joint credit card statement and copies of the credit cards

- Copies of our drivers licenses with same address

- IRS transcripts of our last 2 years of tax filings married filing jointly

- Picture of us together on our honeymoon cruise last year (professional photo with info about the cruise on it)

- Pictures of us together on various holidays (valentine's day & anniversary)

So, based on all that stuff... do I need to do the affidavit thing? Is there anything else you see that could be missing? We don't have any other joint finances that I can think of. The only other thing I could add is statements from credit cards and loans that are just in his name but at the same address.

Any guidance is appreciated!

a copy of your permanent resident card front and back,your checks put your name and address, alien reg number, it's good to make a cover letter to list, to show your evidence,thats included in the package,-G-1145. then it all looks good, good luck,

You can't use G-1145 with your I-751. Please, stop giving people wrong advise

Ok thanks,

Can someone answer my question about the check(s)?

Filing fee is $590 ($505 + $85 for Biometric). Just send one check for that amount.

Information on the filing fee here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f858d59cb7a5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD
