    I - 751 January 2022 Filers

    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    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!

    This is such a useful post. Thank you for sharing this!

    Yes, the GC does help. I mean it is not a good idea to bring your GC everywhere with you and answering many question about SS.  If you change your SS and you can avoid these problems. Why don’t you change it, because the SS officer told me that people should change their SS after they got the GC. And not too much people know that they ought to do it

    I see your point.

    Right now I’m not going to replace my SS as SSA only accepts mail-in for that type of update on the card, meaning I have to mail in my SSN and GC and there’s no way to track when it’ll be done. I think I’ll wait.

    Based on my experienced about changing SS card, I recommend people to change their SS after they got the green card. The employees at SS used to tell me that people should change their SS to delete the statement of “valid for work ...” when they got green card and when they become US citizen. Anytime when you do some paperwork and they need a copy of your SS (if they see it with the statement “valid for work only...”), they will ask many questions. Believe me, it will take you a lot of time to answer these questions

    But showing your green card as DHS  authorization doesn't help at all?

    You never have to change the card if you don't want to or simply can't. 

     

     People often misunderstand what that "restriction " actually means .

    From what I under, green card can work as the DHS authorization.

    So we don’t really have to have that restriction removed/ get a new card with same number without that restriction. Is that right?

    GC in hand. Should I update SSC?

    Hi all.

     

    I got my social security card before marriage. And I changed my last name after marriage.

     

    So I went to SSA and updated my last name, but was told that they would update my name in their system, but the last name on my physical card remains maiden name.

     

    Now that I have got my green card, should I make another trip to SSA and have the "Work only with DHS authorization" removed and get a card with updated name?

     

    I've been researching here about the topic and got different answers. Just want to make sure whether I should go or not?

    We never did find out what the delay was. At our interview, the officer said everything looked good but that they were waiting for our packet. Which didn't really make sense but since she was so positive, we figured we would see "approved" within a couple of days/weeks. Never anticipated 3 1/2 months. But as I said, it's all in the rear view mirror now. 

     

    Good luck and hope you hear on your approval very soon.

    Thank you for that!

    Your packet as of the AOS packet?

    We waited for what seemed like forever. Our interview was Jan. 27 and we received notice the green card was being produced on May 12. We were not separated at the interview and felt everything had gone really well. But then, nothing. It was hard waiting that long - especially when we were reading that others were approved right away. But it all came through eventually. Good luck.

     

    And congratulations to the other MSP-STP folks who have made it through the process.

    Wow that took a long time for you to get it in hand.

    Now I'm starting to worry a little bit. My interview went really well despite my previous CCP issue. I'm concerned if that issue is going to take extra time for reviewing...
