Hi, everybody!

My friend recently got married and now this is a time to do AOS. They live with his wife’s mother and don’t have a lease agreement or mortgage in their names. To prove that they’re living together they need at least a letter from the mother. I saw somebody mentioning that they had to do the same thing. Can anybody to help with the style of this letter? Please, if somebody has the same situation, share your experience how it worked at the interview. Was there any problem that they didn’t have a place in their name?

From my observations on this board I would say more than 12 months for a I751 is quite the exception.

Did you also inquire about the status of your petition when you had your passport stamped?

Yes, I did. I was told that I should be getting something in the mail in the next few months. They told that my case has been transferred to their local office from TSC a month ago and they just started processing I-751 after not processing this type of cases for a while.

Hi, everybody! Can't be quiet any longer. My 1-year extension expired on April 21. Last Monday I had to do a 4-hour drive each way to get my passport stamped. Our I-751 has been pending for over 12 months now and still no result. Am I the only one who has to wait so long?

finish4start,

You are the LPR or you are the USC?

The LPR is the one who can request information.

My husband and I filed our joint I-751 petition to TCS. I called the call service center to get an update on our case since we cannot view it online (the receipt # is not found). After going thru the long wait on hold I was told that I couldn't get any information on my case since I'm a beneficiary and only my husband (the actual petitioner) can call and ask questions. Has anybody heard something like this before?

I'm the one who's a conditional permanent resident.

Hey! The same here. A week after I sent them all they asked for they transfered my case to the local office.

How did you find out you were transferred & did they say why? Could this be for an interview?

Just curious, & good luck!

I sent everything in on March,22. I got a letter in my mail yesterday saing that the case has been transfered to a local office and I have to contact them to get updated information on it. The letter didn't say why they did it. I sent a huge file with all the supporting documents and included a affidavit from family members and friends.

The situation is weird! I filed my I-751 somewhere in the beginning of April of 2006 and received my receipt on April 21 of 2006. Never since then I haven’t been able to view the case status online. I called the customer service and they told me that it’s normal and there was no reason to worry about it. I called them again in 6 months when my case happened to be outside of the processing dates. The standard answer was given at that point that the USCIS has 1 year to work on it. I called back in November and asked to submit a request to Texas Center. There was an answer a month later that our case had been randomly chosen for on interview and they were awaiting for scheduling from a local office. BUM………..!!! A month ago I received the request of the evidences. You know the rest of the story.

Well there's a few things you can do to get them jumping:

1) You can file for Citizenship, that will get their process moving...

other than that, you may want to make an Infopass appoimtment at the DO in case they called you for an interview and you never got the letter...

Hi all,

My wife (USC) and I submitted our I-751 in October of last year and within two weeks got a letter extending my GC for a year. I had heard nothing further until today, when got the following letter: (TX service center)

REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE

This office is unable to complete the processing of your petition without further information. Please read and comply with the request below, then submit the requested evidence to the address on the accompanying gold sheet. Please include this notice and the gold sheet on top of your response. Please submit copies of the following:

1. Your federal tax return transcripts printed by the Internal Revenue Service for years 2004 and 2005.

2. Actual bank statements for the past 12 months indicating you and your spouse as joint account holders. Each statement must show the account's balance and transaction history.

3.Property/warranty/mortgage deeds indicating they were recorded (not just notarized) with your local or state government, mortgage loan statements, property tax documents, unexpired leases, or home insurance records of your current residence.

You must submit the requested information within 12 weeks from the date of this letter. Failure to do so may result in the denial of your petition.

Ok, well here is the problem. My wife and do not have joint bank accounts and never have had. Also, my wife owned her house before we met, so all of the mortgage documents/property tax docs etc are all in her name. Help! What on earth do we do? I didn't realise that having a joint bank a/c was a requirement to lift conditional status. We submitted in October everything we had in joint names including electricity bills, car insurance, tax returns (looks like they are asking for this again), notarized documents which we both signed when we refinanced, my wife's benefits going back to 2004 showing me as beneficiary etc.

I am very concerned by this turn of events, as we have had a smooth process this far. Has anybody else had to do this? I would really appreciate advice and help. Thanks for reading guys!

You received the generic letter. I received exactly the same format letter asking for the exactly the same. I'am not sure now it works.

Who asked about a request of additional evidences? I have the same situation. I filed my I-751 a year ago. It has been a long story but after I send the avidences that were requested Texas office moved my case to the local office. Does anybody has the same situation?
