November 2021 Filer

[hannahraeroxs 55]

Hello, My husband and I are getting our packet ready to file for Nov 10th. 

 

i am am almost done building it but im not sure what to put the packet in. i have a report cover that can fit about 150 pages and sheet protectors to protect the papers along with dividers to show where things are. is that too complicated for them? i did it the same way for K1 Visa and AOS.

You can just go to any Office Depot or Staples and purchase a bubble mailer. They provide more than enough protection and can be purchased in many different sizes. 

 

I used something just like this:

You can buy them in singles at the store they run like $1 or $2 each, can't remember exactly how much specifically. 

 

No need to go overboard like others have done on here with boxes and all sorts of ridiculous packaging.

Those sheet protectors and dividers probably put you on somebody's naughty list 😉 yes it is way to complicated. You can separate with sticky notes on the bottom, that's from USCIS official instructions. 

Use whatever fits to send of your packet. I used normal envelopes so far and didn't had any problems. If you need a box, get a box.

Definitely skip sheet protectors and dividers. Save the contractors the time of disassembling and throwing all that in the trash before USCIS even sees it. 

I used this to file everything from petition to citizenship. It’s the flat, light cardboard,  Priority mailer.

did you just use little sticky dividers on the bottom and used a big clip to put it all together?

Yes, that's exactly what I did. Instead of simple paper stickys I used the more robust filing tabs and clipped everything together at the very top with a large binder clip:

You can also get a bunch of smaller binder clips to keep specific sections  together along with the large one to hold it all together if you want but be sure to put tabs at bottom and clips on top. 

 

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!

Lol, I just finished posting an example of what you may or may not need on your other thread.

 

You have more than enough information. I'd be surprised if you run into any issues.

Hi! Me again. This might be a dumb question but I got my husbands reminder letter to file his I-751 and I see it says file jointly. As long as we both sign and date the I-715 and show proof does that mean we are filing jointly?

It was the same for us. It's just standard verbiage that they use in their letters. 

 

When you fill out the form whomever is the green card holder will now be both the petitioner and the beneficiary.  So for example, my wife is the green card holder so she is petitioning to get a removal of conditions on her green card so she is also the beneficiary. She fills out Part 1 and Part 2 under Information About You/Conditional Resident and signs. I am the US Citizen Spouse so I fill out Part 3. and Part 4. and sign in the I-751 form. 

 

Each of you should only need to sign once in the form unless your situation involves other conditions such as kids or something else.....which I assume you all don't fall under. I'm guessing you're the same as us (just my wife and I). 

 

Hope that helps.
