I'm still hanging in there waiting on our ROC, things are not as bad as they were during the K1 in 2018. I've gotten a couple of lucky breaks AOS wise, but all in all I'm good. You really let them have it, sometimes it's cool to get it off your chest. Won't be long now though. I suspect it'll all be over soon!

@LarryHickman on the brighter side how you been and congrats on the wife passing her N400 stuff! I know the frustration though but soon you'll be done hopefully forever with USCIS! It could be worst though we could both be back in May 2018 K1 thread lol!

They want to see everything since you've been married. Joint accounts are best!

Having an interview or not can go either way. So you are right just have to wait and see!

Always send copies unless they ask for originals!

I agree we had lots of evidence, but we still sent monthly statements just for our own piece of mind! It's basically an individual filers call! I will say this, when in doubt send monthly statements!

They usually give you a generic and canned reply, but it's a good thing to submit anyways.

It should not cause any problems, but no need to send that in with your ROC.

That is just for your records or use it if you lose or your GC is destroyed. No need to send with your I-751. It's used mostly with the I-90.

It's fairly normal to transfer a case, but it has been an excessive amount of time to get your NOA wow...when exactly did you get your NOA and what center was handling your case and where is it being transferred too? Being that it was in the process of being transferred they took an excessive amount of time to get you your NOA. Once your case gets where it is going I would submit a support request for a lost document referring to your bio-metrics appointment! If they sent you a transfer notification letter i would put in the support request ASAP. Read thru this thread to find out how to send the support request. Lots of here in the thread sent in the request and were able to get our bio-metrics waivers and or appointments. Which center sent you your NOA was it the original center or was it the center your case was transferred too? If you would fill out your time line it would be easier to assist you and give you better/more information.

Welcome to the thread!

Did you put in another service request? I would put them in until they answer!

As what was pointed out to you, check the USCIS website right before you send off your packet to make sure the form did not update on you. These forms can change on a dime!!!!

Welcome to the thread! Please update your timeline. That's how you can keep us updated!

Let's hope it continues to bring you luck. Hopefully USPS will not super fast deliver!

Welcome to the thread!

Sure it's OK do your thing!

You got what you were after that's the main thing!

Go check out this thread it may give you an idea. As far as assembling your packet it depends on what evidences and documents you have. Also look at the instructions for the 751 it lists documents you may need there. Bank statements. Wills medical DNR, utilities bills, leases, taxes the things married couples accumulate. Insurance, all these items in joint (both names).

Welcome to the thread!

I knew I saw two couples applying for ROC in June I guess they must have gotten lost... lol hopefully they'll be along shortly!

June 2022 is here I seen a couple of June filers already posting elsewhere in the forum so I decided to make the June 2022 ROC filers thread for you to gather in. Good luck to all that will be sending in their ROC packet this month. Do not hesitate to ask your questions. My your journey be quick or at least bearable! Be sure to keep your timelines updated with the current dates and stats, this will help everyone!

Well I guess we all have to do what we do best.......wait!!!!! 😀

Hello May 2022 AOS filers another month another round of AOS submissions, Please be aware that this checklist is NOT all inclusive and you must consult the USCIS website to crosscheck this checklist against/with. The AOS process has been confusing since the pandemic hit, not to mention the added politics. So please I want to stress that you only use this check sheet as a starting point and guide if you will. The USCIS site will be the final guide. Please ensure that you check your forms for the correct versions and editions because if you use the wrong forms USCIS will reject your application and send it back to you. This is easily checked on the USCIS website prior to downloading your forms. You should also ONLY download your forms from the USCIS website. The current and correct fees can also be ascertained from the USCIS website AOS Checklist Cover Letter listing Table of Contents Check Payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security - $1,225.00 (this includes the Bio-metrics fee) Form I-485 (completed and signed by non-US Citizen/beneficiary) Form G-1145 Copy of beneficiary's Passport with biographical page Copy of beneficiary's K1 Visa from Passport and entry stamp Copy of NOA2 Approval letter (from K1 process) I-94 Copy of beneficiary's Birth Certificate translation of birth certificate (if needed) Certified copy of Marriage License or Certificate Passport Photos (2) name written on the back Copy of DS-3025 Form I-864 (completed and signed by USC) (goes with form I-485) Proof of USC's citizenship (copy of birth certificate, copy of passport bio page, or other) Current tax year 2021 and (optional 2020 , 2019) Tax Return (with W-2) or Transcripts (transcripts are better if you can get them) Employment Verification letter (updated one - not the one used during K1 process) Pay stubs (last 3 months) Form I-765 (completed and signed by non-US Citizen/beneficiary) Copy of beneficiary's Passport with biographical page Copy of beneficiary's K1 Visa from Passport and entry stamp I-94 Passport Photos (2) name written on the back Copy of NOA2 (from K1 process) Be sure to use the correct filing code of (c)(9) if this code applies to you. The I-765 instructions explains all the codes in detail. If you are filing under a different code (other than (c)(9) the fee for your AOS will not be correct and USCIS will reject your entire packet. Form I-131 (completed and signed by non-US Citizen/beneficiary) Copy of beneficiary's Passport with biographical page Copy of beneficiary's K1 Visa from Passport and entry stamp I-94 Passport Photos (2) name written on the back Copy of NOA2 (from K1 process Be sure to double check for the current fees as fees do sometimes increase and they can change on a dime so please check. Additionally, check the forms as listed above i.e., current version and or edition date, there have been many changes to various forms. Consider sending tax transcripts instead of the 1040, and W2's. Also consider preparing a cover letter for each form in addition to the main cover letter. Make sure you send long form birth certificates and not the short form. Hope this helps in your preparation of your AOS. When in doubt ask questions. Please consider filing the I-131 and the I-765 even if you don't think you'll need them right now. You never know what changes your life will have on down the road, so I recommend you file these two forms from the start. There is no extra charge to file them with your AOS and it's better to submit them all at once. There has been much confusion coming out of USCIS, partly due to Covid-19 and partly self-inflicted. This confusion filters on down to the people filing for AOS. The above listing is subject to change at a moment’s notice so please check, recheck and check again BEFORE you send off your packet for any last-minute changes. Congratulations on a successful submission of your AOS packet!

Well here goes our window opens in a few days first week of the New Year (January 4th, 2022!) I'll be sending the packet off January 5th, gonna use UPS as FedEx has been messing up lately (I used FedEx both times before without a hitch). The packet is 99.7% finished just waiting on a final December bank statement and I'm done! Nothing like a fresh New Year to start things off. Seems like yesterday we were struggling with the K1 and then the AOS. I did manage to submit both prior packets without the assistance of a lawyer, and no RFE (knock on wood). Those of you that remember we even got a wavier for the AOS interview. I loaded this packet with everything but the kitchen sink, perhaps we can get lucky again like with the AOS and have no interview for ROC, stranger things have happened! If there is an interview won't be a big deal we'll deal with it as it comes. So Happy New Year and I'll start this thing off: This by no means is the gospel, it is just the way I chose to do our packet and it works for us. Thought I would share for those of you who are not sure what format to use. Pick and choose it always works! here is the cover letter I went with: xxxxxxx X, xxxx USCIS Attn: I-751 (Box 21200) 1820 E. Skyharbor Circle S Suite 100 Phoenix, AZ 85034-4850 ORIGINAL SUBMISSION RE: I-751 JOINT PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS ON RESIDENCE FOR xxxxxxxxxxxxx A# xxx xxx xxx U.S. Citizen Spouse: xxxxxxxx (DOB: xx/xx/xxxx; SSN:xxx-xx-xxxx) Conditional Resident Spouse: xxxxxxxx (DOB: xx/xx/xxxx; SSN:xxx-xx-xxxx) Dear USCIS Examiner: Enclosed please find attached Form I-751 and materials to support removal of conditions on residence for my wife, xxxxxxxx. USCIS granted her conditional permanent residence on xxxx xxxx xxxxx. The materials, which show a merging of our personal and financial lives since marriage (xxxxxxx xx, xxxx), are organized in tab dividers for your convenience. For ease of review, pertinent information is highlighted in yellow, followed with a sticky tab explanation if needed. All materials are one-sided copies, if the original was two-sided the copy has been broken down and copied on a separate one-sided sheet for your ease of review. Thank you for your prompt processing of this petition and for what we hope is your favorable response at your earliest opportunity. Sincerely, xxxxxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxxxxx The packet is fairly thick so thick I used two pieces of cardboard as a backing to the keep the packet or book some might call it rigid. I used ACCO fasteners, sticky tabs on the inside and dividers. I will attach pictures of the packet here: The blue pieces paper represent bookmarks and will be removed, they were used by me to assist in adding more content ( I have been working on this thing since October 2021 and I am glad I started early as I got to take my time. I'll do a final check on the I - 751 form to see whats current, sign it, add the check then off to UPS on the 5th of January 2022. To some this might be overkill, but I wanted to give myself every chance for success the first time! Good luck to all the January 2022 filers. We all can do this, we got this folks. I just wanted to share with everyone who might be drawing blanks!
