This is very odd. Looking at your post history you have had some very irrational fears about the whole process - worries that a 1-week honeymoon will look suspicious (despite the fact that many people - me included - didn’t have a honeymoon at all), fears of misrep bans, fears of lifetime bans for having no photos of the two of you, fears of home visits by USCIS or ICE... it’s quite possible that the stress has all been too much for you. Immigration is a very stressful operation. Her visa is good for 6 months from the medical date. Maybe take a breath and postpone her arrival? Or maybe it’s better she gets here as soon as possible so you can work through the issues together rather than through messenger or Skype?

That’s nice , good job 

Hey guys! 
My husband and I mailed in our I-751 package (6lb 11oz) on: 
10/21/19 (overnighted it due to my nervousness since my Green card expires on 11/03/19)
10/22/19 - delivered to Phoenix, AZ 
I still haven’t received any confirmation from USCIS yet. 
Waiting patiently for updates. So nervous!! 
Good luck everyone! 

Hey guys, I just want to share our progress with you. I received extension for my green card yesterday 10/21/2019. California Service Center.
 
10/09 USCIS received application
10/16 check was cleared and we got text notification. This is also NOA1 date.
10/21 received extension document in the mail
 
 

They will take passport photos of you when the biometrics are done...no need to send them in with your I-751.

So we spent most of yesterday and today compiling evidence and are going to print and scan things gradually over the next few weeks in the hopes of sending it all off on September 16!  I figured I'd provide our list of evidence to 1) see if you guys think it's enough and 2) hopefully help anyone else preparing to apply in September.
 
So here's what we have: 
 
-Copy of marriage certificate
-8 photos from 2017-2019, including our wedding, family reunions, family graduations, family weddings, Halloween parties, vacations, us with our realtor when we bought our house, etc.
-Receipts for plane tickets, hotel, and activities for a big anniversary vacation we took last year (one photo of us with a major landmark from this vacation is included with the photos) 
-Airplane ticket receipts and boarding passes for our visits to my husband's family in the UK
-Renter's insurance document from our old apartment in both our names (2017)
-Car insurance documents in both names (span of the last couple years with different companies)
-Home insurance documents in both our names (2018 and 2019, different policies with different companies)
-Bank account statements, checking and savings (4-5 spread out over the last 2 years, a combination of checking and savings accounts)
-Mortgage documents proving we both own the house (closing documents from when we first bought the house and a recent mortgage statement)
-Life insurance documents proving we are the beneficiaries of one another's life insurance policies (including a 2017 beneficiary designation letter for me proving he's been my beneficiary since 2017) 
-Retirement documents proving we are the beneficiaries of one another's retirement accounts (with an earlier statement to prove that he's been my beneficiary since 2017) 
-Scans of health insurance ID cards proving we are on the same health insurance through our employer
-Utility bills with both our names (multiple spread out since 2017, at both our previous address and our current address)
-Official IRS transcripts proving we filed our taxes jointly (2017 and 2018)
 
 
Hope it's helpful!

First of all, if you have not filed yet, you are not an August 2019 filer. You are a September 2019 (or later) filer. Here is the link to the I-751 September 2019 Filer thread:
 
PLEASE do not flood this thread asking the same question over and over and over again.
 
You can find answers to your question here: https://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide/
and here:
There are also plenty of us who have posted our lists of evidence in this and other I-751 filer threads. So before you ask the same question over and over and over again, please make the effort to do some research first.
 
Thanks and best of luck in your I-751 filing.

Hi, I don't think your children will be able to apply with you to remove the conditions but you will list all of them in part 5 as your children. According to the I-751 instructions, "If you have dependent children who did not acquire conditional resident status on the same day as you or within 90 days thereafter....,then those dependent children must each file Form I-751 separately to have the conditions on their status removed." (Who May File Form I-751? pg.1). 
 
Your children acquired their conditional green card a year after you, they will need to file their own I-751separately based on the instructions tho. If your children acquired their GC same day as you or 90 days after, then they do not need to pay for the I-751. You will just list them in part 5 and check off the box that they will be applying with you.  

On the i751 form page 3 it will ask you give  the info of all the children.Please fill it out.
Send front and back copies of green card for all the children along with the application.You will be good.All the best.

In these situation the petition is returned and allowed to die, so marry and go the CR1 route.

Yes i would get married too, and apply for CR1. Immigration process is tricky. Just be  patient and hopefull. Best of luck to you two.

224 Total days between submitting application, receiving and replying to rfe  and approval of greencard.
 
Thank you all for you insights! 
 
Good luck!

@Nin&WayWe went through this about 2 years ago. We did bring almost the same stuff as @JasonGG mentioned above. The interview went well for us. The IO did say out right that the kids were being interviewed to understand why we didn't file them together with my wife's initial filing. We told them that it had to do with $$$.  The only documents they asked to see was their Passport,AP/EAD Combo card, Birth Certificate and wife's passport and Birth Certificate to establish relationship. They did ask the kids who their parents were, and how everyone was related. After that, it was a basic question out of the I-485 form. Kids were approved on the spot. What was even great was that, they were suppose to only get approved for the 2 year conditional GC. On my way home, I received a private number call which I didn't pick up. The IO left us a vm letting us know that she approved the kids a 10 year GC vs the 2 year GC. We were of course static about it as its one less filing we have to do. 
 
I wish you good luck on the interview. 

I’d suggest you wait until you hear from them. It usually doesn’t take long after they receive your RFE response. After a week or if it’s too long, 2 weeks. 

Today was the day!
Wanted to update everyone on our kids K2 AOS visa since there isn't much discussion on K2 AOS interview here on VJ.
Wife, myself, and kids went to the interview for the kids' K2 AOS interview. They were nice enough to group them all as opposed to taking them one by one. We were also allowed to sit in the interview. The interview was very straight forward and pretty quick - roughly 25 mins. The reason the kids were scheduled an interview was to find out why we didn't process the kids AOS along with my wife all at once last year. This was obviously a simple question and it came down to $$$$ and I had to wait to get more money to file for their AOS. The rest of the questions was directed to the kids asking for their, name, DOB, address and the questionnaire from the I-485. After that, the officer said they were approved and interview ended and went home

Morning morning good people! Finally received the texts and emails last night, acceptance and check have been cashed too! Relieved! 
After 3 weeks!! 😅

Awesome! And the wait begins! 
I’ve sent mine on April 27th, and since then , no news. I’m starting to get worried. Even the check hasn’t been cashed out, but the tracking number on the mail said delivered on April 30th at 2pm!
 

Took almost 6 months for us to get the AOS/AP/EAD package together. We finally sent it on 05/12/18. 
 
We could have sent it in Feb... ugh the waiting game again

Hi there, if you are filing based on your K1 visa, your response should be 1d, because you are applying to reinter the country in case you travel before you GC is approved.

Hey there! Approximately 3-4 months 

Hey there! Approximately 3-4 months 

Yes that’s the name of the document. AP.
as far as part7, it’s just a little stating saying that you wish to visit your family on this date for this long..that’s it. It doesn’t have to be a long text.  
Welcome here Marcelina!
