Well guys and girls it's about that time!! Those of us with a July expiration on our card are eligible to ROC starting in April!!

I have plans to ROC in April but don't have the money at the moment (still hoping to get a new job) but I thought I should get started on my list I've been planning my list for a while and adding to it since AOSing in 2010 (sounds so long ago now!).

So here is my list for ROC so far:

- G-1145 – Form for E-notification of Application/Petition Acceptance G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance is only accepted USCIS Lockbox facilities located in Chicago, Phoenix, and Lewisville, TX.

- Payment in the amount of $590.00 payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security

- I-751 Joint Petition to Remove Conditions, signed and dated ###

- Evidence of Relationship:

o Copy IRS transcripts 2009, 2010 & 2011 showing joint filing

o Copy Wells Fargo joint account

o Copy First Trust & Savings joint account

o Copy Verizon cell phone bill (showing joint names)

o Electricity bills (showing joint names)

o Health Insurance showing joint names

o Copy Car Insurance cards (showing joint names)

o Copy Drivers licenses showing same address

o Photos from wedding & various occasions

I have also been keeping a list of other things that other people could include if they have them (I don't).

o Letter from USPS showing joint names on post box (I don't think this is possible but I was going to ask)

o Wills & Powers of Attorney showing each other as beneficiaries (I did sign a POA from when we bought the house but I don't know whether I know where it is)

o Flight records showing both travelled together

o Birth certificate of any children

o Lease/Mortgage agreement (i'm not on the mortgage or the title but I DID have to sign some paperwork seeing I'm his wife - and he had to sign FOR me 'cause I was out of the country)

o Affidavits from at least two (2) people who have know both of us since obtaining LPR (we decided against these as we have enough evidence otherwise).

When it comes to bills and account info and all that there's obviously A LOT of pages and there's usually one a month. So I will be sending the first page (showing our names) and one for every 3 month period. For car insurance we have little cards so I'll try and copy those onto several sheets of paper (they are 6 months at a time). We also have the bills for that... oh joy! I won't bother getting a box from the post office till I see how much ####### I'm sending Going to start collating it probably this w/end!

As it was with my AOS I am hoping and aiming to not interview. Mostly because the office is THREE hours away one way.. ugh. It would mean Tony would need to take a day off work and (hopefully) me too. I don't think he's eligible for paid time off year and if I were to get a job I doubt I would be either... That's some decent money we would lose.

Anyway that's the plan. How is everyone else's prep going?

This was already corrected several posts ago. As it isn't possible to correct the OP it is usually best to read the rest of the thread to check for updates. Thanks though

Hi,

I didn't send my package yet but I won't send the originals. I will send copies of my 2 affidavits. They had lost papers in the past so I prefer to not take any chance!

Good luck everyone!

Same thing happened to me re the address ####### because I didn't have an active case on the system :S

When is your husband getting home? Do you know?

I'm glad it wasn't just me then. We find out on Friday (hopefully) when he will be back. Spending Easter alone but Easter doesn't seem to be a big deal in his family. Kinda weird for us, you know?

[arren 6]

Hello all!

I just sealed my packet and will send tomorrow morning. I had a looooong AOS so hope it goes a bit better this time

About the affidavits - I am sending copies as well. Everything I'm sending is copies, with the exception of the I-751 form and the cover letter.

YES!! OMG I completely understand! Easter isn't a massive deal back home (unlike Christmas) but we do get together for a meal (converging on my parents house) and exchange eggs... here it was just like any other day. In Tony's family adults don't get eggs, kids get TOYS as well as some candy, it was just a total non-event and I admit it really upset me. I had no idea it was going to be like that and felt really let-down.

Congrats!! it'll be interesting to see how our timelines work. I decided to go priority but not express so it's 2-3 days instead of overnight. Main reason being it was $5 compared to $15 and it doesn't REALLY matter if it's a day or 2 longer.
