Hey,
you seem really good to go! I think you have enough and will be approved without RFE or interview, I'm not a lawyer, but just basing that off my own previous experience. I applied for my ROC on my own due to divorce and included the following:
The following are the description of the attachments in the submitted order:
· Form I-751 waiver based on marriage entered in good faith but terminated through divorce.

· A money order for $590 payable to US Department of Homeland Security

· A copy of my permanent resident card.

· A copy of my marriage certificate.
· A copy of my Divorce decree.
· Copies of Arrest Records
· Copies of our joint Tax returns 2012, 2013, 2014
· Copy of our Drivers Licenses
· Copy of joint insurance cards
· Copy of joint ATT phone bills since marriage
· Copy of joint Time Warner Cable Bills since marriage
· Copies of past 3 leases
· Copy of joint HSBC credit cards plus statements since marriage
· Copy of shared Chase bank account since marriage
· Superfluous mail sent to either of us at marriage address
· Various photos of our relationship
Copies of documents submitted are exact photocopies of unaltered documents and I agree to submit original documents to an Immigration officer or Consular officer at a later date, if required.
Should you have any questions, please contact me anytime.
I was approved on Monday by getting an email saying my new card is in production. By all means, keep researching, but in my humble opionion you have a soild package. I read somewhere that %90 of ROC get approved without interview, don't quote me, this is the internet after all, but I look forward to hearing about your approval.
EDIT: with regards to bank statements, I chose 4 a year for the past 3 years, so 12 in total, you can never send to much!

OMG! I just wrote 4 paragraphs about us, and inspiration on living our lives right now, and it said I didnt have permission to edit that last post! Holy #######! What the hell!
Fine, most of it was about thanking KASH2011, thank you for keeping it updated, thank you for helping me keeping my passion in check, if you are ever in NYC, please reach out to me, so that i can buy you a drink or dinner or something, This thread, while I have been part of it, was all maintained by you, and it gave me insight, patience, and understanding, I really want to thank you properly. You should have seen the earlier version of this, I gave a speech to all of us about what we went through and how we understand the true nature of now living here freely and with no more worries. It wasn't meant to be, but KASH2011, thank you, and my offer stands for an eternity! Please come and visit me and I can return the favor. Blessing to everyone, and may we all live the lives that we deserve.
Ian
EDIT: Lets see if this works, if anyone of you guys in our group are in NYC or visit, please reach out to me, I would love to meet my fellow i-751 ROC peeps for February 2015. We are that group and we can always share that. I'm in NYC. G'night.

Hey,
I've written quite a few posts tonight, since Monday and my approval I haven't really been able to sleep much. You would think that the peace of mind would equal a years worth of quality sleep, but I guess for me it is the opposite. I feel restless now, I have spent the last 3 years worrying about this, it has literally been the bane of my existence, it has defined how I live my life, and then suddenly it is over! I applied with a waiver because I got divorced while I was on the conditional card, I was already in the country for 8 years before this, I can't go into details regarding that, but all my friends live here, my life is here, my job! I expected a interview, maybe a bit of a battle. you see I have a DUI from my college days in Baltimore, but the ROC was as smooth as I could imagine, minus the delay. When I applied for AOS I spent $4000 on a lawyer, because of the arrest record, I was so nervous, at the interview the IO was like are you ok, I was shaking so bad! The lawyer proved to be a waste of money.
My father passed away while I was going through this. so I could not be with him when he needed me the most, one of the last times I spoke to him he gave me encouragement and told me that I was doing the right thing, if I had gone back to my country to be with him, I most likely would not have been allowed back in and my journey would have been over, so I stayed and he passed away. My approval on Monday is so much more then a letter or a webpage telling me that my card is in production, it is a victory over a failure that I will never forgive myself for. All of us in this section of this site have heart breaking stories, but I am here to tell you that everything will be ok! You will make it! Just keep calm. keep all your records you can and you will be able to make your life in this wonderful country. The night I learned I had finally become a permanent resident, I cried so many tears on my friends shoulder, because I felt like it meant more then just achieving a life long battle, it was the final option to really start my life. Dad, wherever you are, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, but you know what? I at least have a reason now. I did it! For all you out there, I give you all my faith and love! This is not a monster system we are up against, they are reasonable and practical, just keep your records and submit all you have and you will be fine.
Sorry, I am rambling a bit, as I mentioned I can't seem to sleep now since this journey has come to its conclusion, to much energy, I should start writing like I always dreamed of. 3 years and it begins again with citizenship, I kind of look forward to that stress again!! haha!
Thank you to VisaJourney for existing and providing all of us with the help, advice, and experience we need. I know it put my mind at ease a lot. I'll try stick around to help anyone I can.
Good luck everyone!! Peace be with you.
Ian

Many thanks!!

Hey Shounok,
I travelled out of the country 4 times already on the expired GC and the extension letter, it seriously is not a problem. The guys who check this when we return don't even bat an eyelid. It's all good. Enjoy your trip, but I agree, this is taking hellishly long, least you are not in Vermont center, ours haven't even started yet.
