I just did a standard cover letter. To my mind, the adjudicating officers probably have enough of a workload already, and I want to make their work easier, not more difficult.

Ok, I'm going to try that. I think you are right about making it more complicated for the case worker. I'm freelancing after having lost my job in Feb but am also looking for full-time work so could say I want to be prepared. Did you have to show any evidence of employer getting nervous or they took your word for it?

Thanks

We have a child together and this is the evidence we are filing. Any ideas on whether it is enough?

• Copies of the passport and green card of alien resident;

• Copies of our daughter’s birth certificate,XX;

• Two original letters written and notarized by U.S. citizen friends, attesting to our relationship and marriage;

• Copy of joint tax returns that were filed for for 2005 and 2006;

• Copy of joint bank statements from 2005, 2006 and 2007;

• Copies of our joint car insurance policy.

• Copy of the title of our car, showing joint ownership.

• Copy of our American Express Card showing a joint account.

• A copy of our itinerary for a vacation that we took in December 2006.

Just wondering if you need more when you have a kid together?

Thanks everyone

I didn't wait for my NOA to get the passport stamped. I made an appointment ASAP the day the check was cashed, explained to the officer why I needed the stamp (employer getting nervous about expiration dates), and left the office with a one-year I-551 stamp in my passport. Maybe that would work for you?

Did you ask for expediated processing of the i751 in your cover letter or just did a standard cover letter and then did the info pass separately? Thanks

Fantastic idea. I think I am going to add that to my letter asking for expediated filing. Thank you

You are cutting it close, file asap, overnight the application.

I would then schedule a Info-Pass, and see if a reentry permit can be issued.

Thank you - good idea. Am looking it up right now. Appreciate any suggestions. Cheers

If you're already approved for a green card, you should be able to get a passport stamp at the USCIS office, even with the removal of conditions application pending. On the other hand, if you're still waiting for adjustment of status, I suspect you may be out of luck. You'd need to apply for advance parole, and I think that takes longer than a few weeks.

If they cash your cheque, doesn't that mean that they are planning to issue a receipt. I saw that they cashed your's within a couple of days of receiving it but took a while to issue the receipt.

I agree with the sweating bullets. It is pretty stressful despite being in a legitimate marriage etc.

Hi

I just realized that I have to file - my conditional green card anniversary is May 15th - asap. The issue is that husband, baby and I are part of a wedding party in Mexico on 26 May. I need my receipt from UsCIS so I can get back into the states. Anyone asked for expediated processing and received it under these conditions?

Thanks ever so much

I don't think they need to know this for I-751. For I-485, yes, they need to know. I entered "Visa Waiver Program" at the time, and I remember I was sweating bullets about the whole thing. If I had to do it again, I'd go for a K-1 or K-3 rather than sweating an AOS from a non-immigrant waived visa...

Thanks for this. We used an immigration lawyer who said don't worry about the financee visa. My problem is that we have to go Mexico - my husband is in the wedding party - on Memorial day weekend...So I am rushing to and seeing if they'll take pity on me and give me a receipt asap. Otherwise I'm stuck here with our kid.

Hi, I am filling out my cover letter for I751. I am on an Australian passport which is under the visa waiver program. In my cover letter, do I just refer to the type of visa I entered under as "entered under the visa waiver program or do I need to call it a special name or refer to a number?

Thanks for your help
