Don't have a lease to provide for one year. is this info okay?

[bzabelina 2]

Hello!

 

We received a RFE for our I-175 package and I am putting together the new package but have a question.

 

I have leases from 2018, 2017 (not a lease but statement from landlord), and 2016 but I do not have one from 2015 since we lived with my parents. 

 

I stated in the cover letter this situation and included that the address for 2015 (my parents address) can be found in our documents several times. (2015 tax return, all our bank statements since our joint bank account is tied to that address, my family's phone bill since my husband and I are on it)

 

Will this be enough for them?

 

Thanks!

Depends if the bored cubicle employee bothers to read it or not (or indeed, can read).

 

Either way, you can't send what doesn't exist.

It will probably be at least a year before anyone gets around to reading it anyway.

Lol, I understand. Thanks

 

However jokes aside the green card expires in February, so they better read it before then

It currently takes over a year to process i751 so no. No one will read it before February. The i751 NOA1 will serve as a 1 year extension for your current green card. 

 

To me your evidence of living arrangement seems good.

well this is just an RFE for the i175. Can you explain what you mean by the NOA1? So he won't get kicked out of the country in Feb? Will he be able to have a job? Thanks

This is one of the few times where a sworn affidavit is warranted.  It would be good if you cobble up one from your parents.

sorry - it helps to read everything sometimes lol 

 

WHen was your original submission? The NOA1 is the i751 receipt notice. It extends the current GC by 1 year. No he won't get kicked out  even if the 1 year extension is up, as long as he has it pending there will be no other actions taken. He will still be a LPR and can still work and all of that. Only thing is it is sometimes a bit difficult to provide the proof of the LPR status. The card + letter is your proof. WHen 1 year is up you can get a i551 stamp at your local USCIS office that serves as proof for another year.

 Oh so then your almost there - so his 1 year extension will be up in February. Should it take longer, then you can get the i551 stamp. 

I agree with @Nitas_man that you could get a sworn affidavit on the living arrangement for 2015 if you want to further strengthen your other documents. You have continuously lived together since then, for which you have leases, so I see no problem for you even without the affidavit though. 

It will be the holidays, so difficult to say when you'll get a response, but you are def on the home stretch - good luck

i don't think it will be possible for me to get the affidavit... i hope everything else will be good. we have letters from both landlords as well as leases...

I dont think not having an apartment lease agreement for a year is an issue as long as your USC put in writing and explain why you guys don't have a lease for that said year.

Sorry...missed that it was an RFE - thought it was an original filing.

 

Point stands though - you can't provide what doesn't exist! A letter should be fine.

Regardless of when your card/letter/stamp expire, the LPR status remains until approved or denied, so don't worry.
