Can someone post their I-751 Table OF Contents? I am preparing mine and I would like to know what to include and in what order. I see that others post have included certain variations, but they al have comments from others to remove or include things so I am not sure which one is a complete one. If someone has it handy and would like to share, I would appreciate that

Looking back I had a grand total of 44 pages, 20 of which were tax return transcripts, the rest were joint apartment contracts, insurance, joint property deed, property tax statements and some random utility bills that were in either one of our names. No photos, no affidavits.

I saw that one, but this is the exact same one where everyone is commenting. it does have a lot of extra things included, so thats why I was hoping someone had a good one that worked for them. To be honest, it does look like there are a lot of unnecessary thing included

Does it include:

- bus timetable

- weather forecast

- research paper on cosmic rays

 

?

 

I think all the evidence listed is relevant for I-751.

 

Can you give an example of unnecessary evidence?

I definitely have all that and more. I was just going by the comments saying that since we submitted some of these with the AOS, not so many are needed for I 751. That is why I am asking for one. For example, if you have one ID with a matching address, is it necessary to show the previous once and international one as well? Doesn't that seem like you are just trying to fluff? Same with health insurance, car insurance, etc. Each section feels like they are basically showing one thing, but with many different documents, it seems very repetitive and unnecessary considering you probably submitted half of them with AOS. This is what I am confused about: is it just the current of the joint one" that is not necessary, but I have to show "previous" for everything? I understand that the lease, bank account, and tax may need to include previous years to show longevity, but is it really necessary for everything else, like in this example?

Great thank you for clarifying @alegra. Here's my understanding (I'm not a lawyer). I would not submit anything from pre-marriage era. The instructions ask for evidence from start of marriage until date of filing. If you interpret it literally, you'd be resubmitting things like old leases, insurance etc along with current ones. That's what I did and got approved without RFE / interview. Others only submitted stuff for the timeframe from AOS approval until recent and got approved. Was there some repetition? Sure, in my case about 20% of evidence was repeated, but 80% was new evidence since AOS.

Hi, did you send any tax forms or schedules with tax transcripts or just the tax transcripts?

I did the previous two years and provided both the 1040 forms (with schedules, straight out of TurboTax) and IRS transcripts for both years (downloaded from irs.gov).

A lot of the documents that I submitted for my 751 were new in time, just the same type for AOS. For example, bank statements. Some of those, such as leases, covered the whole marriage, since that's what they are asking in the instructions.  If you think that following instructions to the T is fluffing, so be it. I don't think the officers handling my cases saw it that way, since both my AOS and ROC interview were waived.

I have a good one. Mine was 40 pages or less: evidence + I-751 pages. 

 

Follow what @Rocio0010 had and just omit/ sub what you don't have.

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.
