Sending our package off today, working on it as I am checking out the guide. My husband's conditional green card expires on December 8th so we are cutting it reeeeeeeeeeeeally close :) For some reason I am not worried about it, even though I have done a terrible job at collecting evidence over the last 2 years and reading nothing but the guide on top of this page + the instructions that come along with I-751.

I let months and in some cases a year pass by before adding my husband onto certain accounts, lease, etc. but we entered this marriage in good faith and I believe everything will sort itself out, I am sending anything and everything I am finding around our apartment that shows joint accounts, address, etc.

I remember when we were sending off our CR-1 paperwork there were different addresses for processing centers depending whether you are using a courier service/commerical services vs. sending it regular snail mail. I don't seem to find different options for ROC, so since we are living in Texas I am mailing our package to the following address via FedEx overnight:

USCIS Vermont Service Center

75 Lower Welden St

PO BOX 200

St Albans, VT 05479-0001

If someone could confirm that this is indeed correct and put me at ease that would be most helpful :)

Looking forward to meeting all my fellow December filers and spending many, many months with you during this waiting game.

Best of luck!

Yes that's the correct address, it's listed on the I-751 instructions if you want to check yourself for your own sanity ;)

Just be sure to send documenting evidence over the span of the last two years. That part is very important! Best of luck to you and the rest of the December filers!

Yep...I'll be sending mine off on December 10th (to Vermont). It's admittedly a little nerve-wracking, but thanks to a lot of threads here on VJ, I'm only fretting a tiny bit, not a lot!

Hello every one,

First time poster here, I'm in the process of filling out the I-751 form for my wife and I'm collecting all the data for proof of marriage and have some questions. First her conditional 2-year visa expires 3/04/12, I'm going to submit the package first thing tomorrow (Dec 05) since the USPS is closed today (Sunday), my wife gave birth to our first child 2-weeks ago so I kind of lost track of time, will I still be within a safe window submit everything for tomorrow? Second I read somewhere that some people are submitting passport style photos in the package as well, is this necessary or just personal preference? Lastly, my wife still has her maiden name, I failed to change it on the earlier documentation, on the I-751 form under Part 1 for the line Family Name (Last Name), I entered my last name. Then under Part 3 for the line Other Names Used (including maiden name), I entered my wife's maiden last name. Do you think USCIS will see this and understand I want my wife to have my last name and put that on her CG? Or should I reverse everything? Thanks in advance for the help!!

Abe,

1. I believe as long as you submit on or a couple of days after your 90 day window, you will be fine.

2. The I-751 instructions do not require passport style photos, so I think it may just be a personal preference.

3. I will defer the question about the last names to another poster, as I'm not sure.

Good luck!

Hello all, I am in the process of sending in my I-751 form and documents. My conditional GC expires on Jan 13, 2012. I have a lot of documents that I am going to send. My question is, do I put everything in one big envelope with the check (filing fee)? or do I separate the check from all the documents? Thanks everyone.
