Hello VisaJourney community, I hope everyone is doing great.

So this is the deal, my green card expires the 31st of July 2019, we didn't apply before due to financial difficulties (I went back to college, and it has been tough), so we finally gather all the money needed to apply but not enough for a lawyer like the when we applied for my green card (conditional), so we found ourselves with a million questions. 

According to the USCIS web page, we need to send our package to Arizona which seems weird since we live in Arkansas and the closest one is Texas,  My green card is so close to expiring that I am starting to freak out. Does anyone thinks it would be okay since we are sending the paperwork Friday?, I have been revising the guides online on how to file, but for the payment, I am quite confused. Can I just send a personal check with the amount of $595? For immigration fees, does that fee includes the biometrics appointment? Or is it $ 680?

Our evidence includes: our leases of all the places that we have lived during these past two years, bank statements showing both of our names, credit card statements, medical bills with both of our names, school paperwork where my husband works and I got granted financial grants for school because my husband's job, we have pics together and with our families during celebrations, we have traveled twice to my country so I am attaching the tickets  and seals stamps in passports, pics, cards, we bought a car together, our car insurance, medical insurance, dental insurance, life policies, and an affidavit from his grandmother showing that she is allowing us to live at her house and she has known about our marriage. 

Any ideas guys?, I am very desperate, and honestly, I would love to avoid the interview since we had such an awful experience and this time we won't have a lawyer. 

Thank you!

1.  The Phoenix lockbox is correct for Arkansas residents.

2.  The total fee is $680.00.  One check is fine.

3.  As long as they receive your I-751 package before your conditional Green Card expires, you are OK.

4.  The VJ guide is very good, imo.  https://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide/

 

Welcome to the I-751 club!!  😁

Check is $680

Make sure that the bank statements that you're sending cover the period of your marriage. So don't send only few last bank statements, but try to include few statements from two years back, one year back etc. 

Thank you  so much! i just mailed everything today!
