I-751 and AR-11?

[KG0411 0]

I received my notice to apply for removal of conditions to my permanent recidence status. It expires in March so we are filing it asap. Here's my question:

Last year June, 2012 we moved out of his mother's house. We found a nice apartment, but the lease is only under my name. We both have bills coming in to that address though. We are in the process of changing the addresses on the remaining stuff (drivers license, and some bills) but the rest in under the new address. When we fill the I-751, do we need to file the AR-11 first to update the address? If we do, do I file it as no pending cases at the moment? And how long does that take? I was unaware taht I was supposed to inform USCIS of address change 10 days after moving, will I get in trouble for being so late? Reason I ask, there's a section in the I-751 that asks for any addresses I've resided in since becoming a permanent resident and to include a separate sheet listing so.

Thanks!

You should have informed long time back - it is your resonsibility. However better late than never - do it ASAP. Provide an explanation letter with your I-751, which should be fine (always provide the true and correct details and you should be fine). Here is a list of documents that Visajourney suggests.

1.

A deed, showing co-ownership of your property or a lease agreement with both of your names on the

lease.

2.

Utility bills, credit card bills, and other types of bills which have both of your names on them. Since many utilities will only put a bill in one person's name, some bills in one name and other bills at the same address but in the other spouse's name serve the same purpose: showing your financial & social lives intermingled.

3.

Copies of actual credit cards, health insurance cards, or other "joint" cards that you have together,

showing same account number.

4.

Car, health, or life insurance that has both of your names on the policy or the other spouse listed as the

beneficiary.

5.

401K or other retirement plan with spouse listed as beneficiary (right to survivorship is the technical term)

6.

Bank or stock accounts with both of your names on them.

7.

A copy of your joint tax returns. Tax transcripts from the IRS are still the preferred method.

8.

A car title or other titles to property showing joint ownership with your spouse.

9.

Birth certificate of any children that have been born to your marriage.

10.

Documentation of any vacations that you have taken, including flight itineraries, hotel bills, pictures of you

together on vacation.

11.

Other family pictures of you together.

12.

Documentary proof showing evidence of your children together (Copy of Birth Certificate, photos, etc)

13.

Copies of Christmas cards and other holiday cards addressed to you both
