Hello fellow VJers! I am preparing to ROC next month, and I'm finally putting together this package. I wanted to post a list of the items I will be sending in, to get your perspective about it, while I still have time to find something I might be missing.

-Copies of passport and green card Petitioner

-Copy of IRS Tax transcripts for 2014/2015 filed jointly.

-Copy DLs, showing same address.

-Copy several car insurance notices/ID cards

-Copy of Vehicle Finance Charges showing joint ownership and several payments

-Copy of 2013-2014 Lease, 2015-2015 Lease showing both as tenants

-Copy of Last Wills/Testaments & Medical Powers of Attorney (leaving each other as beneficiary/agent)

-Copy of ALL bank statements from bank accounts for the last 2 years. 1 belonging to petitioner (where both paychecks are deposited) 1 joint (which USC uses most, getting transfers from 1st account) and 1 credit belonging to petitioner (where some bills are paid from).

-Copy of physical joint bank cards

-Copy of Employment emergency contact naming each other

-Copy of USC's Employment basic life insurance naming petitioner as beneficiary.

-Copy of several mail items and bills showing our names and address (some social invitations, mostly bills/payments, big purchases showing address for shipping)

-Copy of hotel reservations for 3 different trips (online reservations)

-Copy of flight/boarding passes/passport stamps for international trip.

-Copy of airline/hotel reservations for a future planned trip.

What do you think? Also... I printed out most of the evidence (statements, bills, etc) double-sided to keep the package compact, do you think this will become a problem?

Do you think I should include an explanation as to why I am sending 3 bank accounts (even though 2 belong to petitioner only) and how we use them?

Thanks in advance!

i'd black out parts of credit card numbers, account numbers and such (but that's just cause i'm paranoid).

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.

I'd do tracking for the parcel when sending. Other than that it's literally paranoia speaking (ok, i think i'm misusing the word 'literally' here but anyway).

Sending documents like that always opens possibility for identity theft and whatnot should they fall into wrong hands, doesn't it? So just make the sending as secure as possible. I always try to minimize exposure when possible. Credit card numbers are not required for the application, so why show them? I'm already showing my SSN and feeling uncomfortable about that, too. :)

I'm the beneficiary.

You are so right Holly, thanks! I will be sending my package with tracking. I think I'm sending to the California Service Center, and I'm under the impression that since it is a PO Box I HAVE to use USPS <_< which I usually avoid at all costs.

For ROC you better include CC numbers and bank statements without blacking anything out, it raises suspicion.

This is not the time to be worried about identity theft.

It makes sense that they would want to see the accounts to determine they're joint, I will just send it in with the tracking option for better security :thumbs:
