I-751 MAY 2022 Filers

[Alix64 425]

Hello Everyone,

 

It is still early in May, but I did not find a thread for May filers so thought I would start one (if I missed it please let me know lol). 

I am to send the whole file around May 17th. 

 

Anyone else in the adventure? 

 

Take care

Alix

The early bird catches the worm, not sure how that would apply to USCIS, but hopefully your filing will go without a hitch!

I did not see  your  form G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance listed. Will you send in the current (2021 and prior 2020) tax returns? Are you going to send in transcripts or 1040s and w2s?

Will be filing later this month. Posting so you don't feel alone in here 😃

 OMG thank you. We had totally forgot about that form (G1145). I owe you one! 😉

 

For the taxe returns : 2020 + 2021 + transcripts.

 

Have a great evening.

Hey, I come here to support you! I'm a February 2022 filer, I was the only one posting in that thread... But I started it in December! Hahaha

Your list looks comprehensive. But if I may add some unsolicited advice, instead of the bank letter, I would actually include bank statements that show movement. I included 24 bank statements (for the two years from opening the account to filing for ROC) but it was probably an overkill. You may want to do quarterly instead.

Came here to say the same. I included bank statements for the joint account & joint credit card showing both our usage (for every month). Might be an idea to put at least quarterly in just to add more even weight to the shared finances aspect.

Yep. We have three different bank accounts and all of them are joint. We included 24 statements from only one, but we also included a letter from another bank stating we have a joint account in there as well. It might have been an overkill, but I just want to avoid a RFE and further delays at all costs.

No need to send tax returns AND tax transcripts. My advice would be to send only the transcripts - more official, and less paper. 

 

Also agree with others about sending bank statements. USCIS loves to see co-mingling of finances.

 See May 2022 ROC filers has lot's of supporters, you are never alone in your journey here. It'll start to fill up here once we progress in the month!

Ow you did. So you are still waiting. I saw that it takes about 18 months. 

 

Your Green Card is probably expired by now. Did you get a document or anything to show that you are in the process and legit to stay on the US soil and still allowed to work?
