About to file 751, need inputs on evidence

[A_Singh 21]

Hello Friends,

My window to file I-751 Opens on Sept 18th, therefore I am getting the documents ready for filing. However mine is a bit complicated situtation therefore would need your help

I did my first entry as a CR (on 551 stamp) in December and stayed here for the holidays (just 1 week). I did not apply for SSN at that time and therefore did not have any bank account or anything. I was moving from Canada to the US, so had to figure out the job transfer and tonnes of other windup in Canada. I moved in late February 2014 and got my SSN, bank account and drivers license done. At that time me and my spouse (the petitioner) did not have an apartment of our own. She was living with a room mate so I moved in. I at that time did not have any utitlites on my name or shared name, as my wife and her room mate were dealing with all that. I had a consulting job so was only home for the weekends. Until July I did not have a joint bank account with my spouse, but I did get her added to my Insurance in March when I started working. Then in September 2014 we got our own apartmend and the following is the list of all the documents that I have.

1. 2014 tax documents of me, ( I did not file for 2013 as I got my SSN in 2014)

2. 2013 and 2014 tax documents of my wife. We filed Married filiing seperately and that is due to that fact that to show less AGI so that my wife's student loans are not assigned huge payments. but my wife listed my name on both of her returns

3. Insurance Coverage Proof letter with both of our name from March 2014 to March 2015. We also have old cards that show both our names.(She had to get her own employers insurance because the surcharge my company asked for was a lot)

4. Proof of medical bills for my wife, that shows my name as the primary insurance policy holder and her name as the patient. I have like 10 of them starting from March 2014 to Jan 2015.

5. We use our cousin's car, but we both are listed as the driver on that car policy. with both of our license listed

6. I started putting money in 401k since March 2014 so have her as the beneficiary and have that letter from my work

7. I have bought my own life insurance from work and have my spouse listed as the beneficirary for that

8. We both have drivers' license on the same address (the current one)

9. We have joint bank account statements from the month of July (when it was opened). The detailed transaction, Howver we normally pay only the rent and the utilities from that account.

10. Cable bill on my spouse's name (for the new apt that we moved in Sep 2014)

11. Electricity bill on my name (again for the new same apt that we moved in Sep 2014)

12. Phone bills, with detailed call details, that list her as the primary account holder and my name listed as the second phone/line user with from the time I moved to US.

13. Lease documents for our new apt, that lists both of our name. Starting Sep 2014. We renewed our lease this AUg so have that too.

14. We travelled overseas to India, so have copies of the boarding passes, hotel details, family pictures, and even events that we attended

15. We had a vacation in Hawaii this summer, so have copies of boarding passes, hotel, pictures (who doesn't take picture in Hawaii)

16. Wedding that we attended, like 6-7 of them, However we don't have the invitiation cards for all. Some inivitiations have mis-spelled my name, but still have 2 solid invite details

17. Pictures, tonnes of them, you name it we can get them..

18. I actually have a HIPAA authorization form for my wife's work health insurance

Please let me know if this would be sufficient information. We also have a trip planned to Costa Rica for a wedding early october, so can complete that trip and file for ROC. Would that help. Also, we don't have affidavits from our friends yet, but we definitely can get that done.

Wanted to get your thoughts about how strong my case is and would the variations in the evidence of relationship matter.

Thanks

Any inputs please!

Gotta wait for people to respond.

Affidavits are recommended only when other evidence is thin. Your evidence isn't thin.

[A_Singh 21]

Thank you for the response and pardon my ignorance,

Would the gap in actual financial co-mingling and other details impact the applications. We all want to avoid RFE so trying to put in as much as possible.

[TBoneTX 45,469]

I don't see wills or healthcare powers of attorney on your list. These are excellent evidence and are even more crucial to have in "life."

[A_Singh 21]

How can we get Healthcare power of attorney's created.

We both don't own anything major yet, so not sure if a will can be created.

Thanks

You might find a template by Googling "medical power of attorney" or "healthcare power of attorney" for your state of residence.

I like the HIPAA authorization. Everything else looks good too. You might want to get your wills set up too. TboneTX always makes the excellent point that wills are great evidence, but even better in "real life." Good luck.

Another quickc question guys, on the phone bills, I'm listed on the bill with another number.

Do I need to send print outs of all the pages with all the call details for the period of 2 years. Every monthly statement is like 38 pages??

[TBoneTX 45,469]

One statement per quarter should suffice.
