All along I’ve been thinking the I-751 was just a formality but after reading the “megathread” showing a literal mountain of evidence I’m suddenly feeling underprepared.
Just to give a little history, the process so far has been very easy for us. We are a same-sex couple that lived together outside the U.S for 12 years before we had the option to get married and return to the U.S. Proving a bonifide relationship was easy. In our photos together you could witness my hair turning from brown to gray! During our interview for the K-1 visa they didn’t ask a single question and didn’t ask for a single supporting document. The adjustment of status was super easy and required no interview. I’ve been thinking all along that the removal of conditions would be the same.
I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry but I’m still inclined to go easy on the supporting documents for the ROC. An I being to casual about this?
You still have over a month before you can file for the removal, right? Just gather all the paperwork it tells you to send. Your attitude doesn't really do much.
It's too early to know if this is some kind of unexpected manpower crunch or part of a unofficial policy shift to lower legal immigration that will continue to cause further delays. If you are in DC then I would be less concerned because the Vermont office doesn't seem to be as bad.

This is a good reference in the sense that one can no longer claim the expired card plus the extension letter suffice I-9. You'd at least need a valid driver's license as a List B evidence.
The I-551 stamp part is vaguely described though. It is not clear if it would serve as a List A or List C document.
The Stamp seems pretty clearly explained in chapter 13 as type A. It's just not easy to get an appointment if you find out you need it. The office in our city hasn't had any appointments available for booking all week and the next city over doesn't have an opening for a couple weeks.

It's in chapter 7.1 of the Handbook for Employers M-274. However, you must be able to also provide a type B document like a Driver's License or ID card as the Extension letter turns your green card into a type C Document.
https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/71-lawful-permanent-residents-lpr
Key sections:
Employees must be allowed to choose which document(s) they will present from the Lists of Acceptable Documents. You cannot specify which document(s) an employee must present. Employees who attest to being an LPR in Section 1 may choose to present a List A document (such as a Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551) or a List B and List C document combination (such as a state-issued driver’s license and unrestricted Social Security card). If the employee presents a List A document, do not ask or require the employee to present List B and List C documents. If an employee presents List B and List C documents, do not ask or require the employee to present a List A document.
- The combination of an expired Permanent Resident Card and a Form I-797, Notice of Action, that indicates that the card is valid for an additional year, is an acceptable List C evidence of employment authorization for one year as indicated on Form I-797. At the end of the one-year period, you must reverify.

I would look up what the wire taping laws are in your state and start secretly recording him with your phone if it's legal to do so in your state.

Anyone got email this morning
“we have took action on your case”
i logged in this is the status
We reviewed your biometrics and are still processing your case
You do not need to do anything at this time
We will let you know if we need anything else from you as we continue to review your case.
We received an email last week that said "We are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time".

So to update everybody, I was able to get the 551 stamp today at the USCIS office.
They only asked for my I-751 NOA letter and a valid passport. I did have an appointment for today, not sure if that matters or if they treat people with no appointment as same, but I would say I got the stamp done easily without any hassles or fuss. They did not keep my expired GC, in fact did not even look at it.
Stupid question but the stamp went in the passport of your home country, correct?
-
We sent in the photocopies. Just make sure to keep the originals incase they ever ask for them.
-
The I 797 NOA1 they send you is very clear that it authorizes you to work for 1 year past your green card expiration date. Bring your Greencard and the NOA1.

We just bought a house so we're just going to send in the proof along with 2017 tax transcript along with copies of our NOA1. The notice says you can submit more proof if you just include copies of the document. Seems like it can only help prevent a RFE.

Hello, I already did the online AR11 to change my address. One in which I included my receipt # and another one in which I just upgraded my address. Did I have to do two of them? One for my pending I751 and another just to change address. And another question. Does my husband have to do the same form. He is the US citizen and he is in the pending case as well, so he has the old address. Thanks for your help.
We're in the same boat. I filed the AR11 about 3 weeks ago and have only received the email confirmation. If your husband is also your financial sponsor than he needs to fill this out and mail it: https://www.uscis.gov/i-865

I tried to search here, the form instructions and the USCIS form filing tips page specifically doesnt mention single/double sided printing at all. Has anyone gotten an RFE due to 2x sided printing?
They could be scanning a digital record of everything you have and they might not easily be able to scan double sided paperwork. It's also just more of a pain to navigate through. What's the problem with printing single sided? You just end up using a bigger box to ship all of your information. We printed a 60 page housing contract and other long documents.

Seems a little low on the financial co-mingling evidence - marriage certificate, ssn numbers and pictures don't really count for anything. You'll find out if the the processing officer is happy with your docs, but I would mentally prepare myself for a RFE and collect joint tax returns at the very least.
Buying a house together is the mother of all financial co-mingling. That along with having a kid and I think they'll be fine. Kids and houses are the holy grail.

Hi guys, thanks for sharing. I am in the middle of deciding which materials to include in the package and how to display them clearly.
My question is: will you guys print DOUBLE SIDED to make the material a little thinner? I prefer to do double sided printing, but I am afraid that the some contents at the back side might be missed.
Any ideas? Thank you guys in advance.
Absolutely do single sided printing.

I just sent my package through usps priority mail. Expected delivery is on Saturday. Is there any chance it will be delivered earlier than the expected delivery date? Just a random question.
Also, I didn't use personal check. It's cashier check from our bank. So I won't know if they cashed it. Have to inquire the bank. But hoping no problems and the process will go smoothly.
It's very possible it's delivered a day early with USPS since it's going to a PO Box. Ours was.

Also are the tax transcripts from IRS a must?
Thanks,

Some people get requests for the transcripts and some don't. I suggest just ordering them now and having them ready if the USCIS asks for them or just mail a copy to the CVC with a copy of your NOA1 so they have it on file when they get to your case.

I would print out a month's statement for you and your spouse's accounts and highlight the account transfers between them.

If they need more from you, they will send you a request for evidence. I would wait. 🙂
I disagree. If you have them, I would mail a copy of the IRS transcripts so they have them on file before they start evaluating your case. It could save you time.
