Greencard-22

Yes, thank you. USCIS Ask Emma told me not to do anything until they send a notice. I am going to prepare my docs again. It was my fault, but can't blame someone who is anxious because I have a separate I-130 for my son who has been dragging slow for almost a year now.
 
Wish me luck! I hope we see a lot of approved cases here soon!

We are submitting ROC package for my wife's GC next week. We have a stack of documents weighing about 3.5 lbs. :
Cashier's Check- $680 (i-751 application and biometric fee) G-1145 i-751 application Cover letter Front/back copy of GC; Copies of driver licenses  Copy of marriage certificate 2 years of tax returns Two affidavits letters Copy of advance health directive 24 months of banks/credit card/utilities statements (water, gas, electricity, internet); 24 months of joint AT&T cell phone statements Copies of health/life/auto/home/liability insurance policies for last 2 years Copies of automobile title and lease agreement Copies of Costco/AAA/Amazon Prime account membership, USPS Informed delivery joint account profile copy and copy of joint safe deposit box lease agreement Copies of travel itineraries and pictures over the last 3 years Good luck everyone.

2- All of our bank accounts are joint. We sent statements for every month in the 6 months prior to filing ROC, and statements from every 3 months (ie Jan, Apr, Jul) prior to that (since AOS was approved, 1-2 yrs). Also copies that some CC have e/o as authorized user and last 6 months of statements. I think what's important is showing order and consistency, and not seemingly random, disorganized or sneaky
 
3- Utility bills under one name can still be useful if each of you have a different utility under your name. As they will still show the same home address, making it clear that you are each financially responsible for accounts at the same home address. ie you may have electricity, cell phone and cable, your spouse may have gas, water, and heating, etc. We also showed that each of us have different subscriptions that deliver to our home address.
 
4- We used two hole fasteners at the top, they seemed to appreciate it at the AOS interview (ROC was approved w/o interview). Also a cover letter and organized each section with page markers/tabs. If you use those, put them at the bottom, not side. 
 
 

I would pay via check instead of credit card just in case there is any issue.
We just did 3 months.
Don't include it (anything) unless it also is establishing that you live at the the same place.
Use binder clips or just a large rubber band.   ACCO 2 hole punches just slow things down as the contractor just has to take them apart.

1. It's more like a personal choice. For example, I have seen cases where the credit card payment has been declined for whatever reason and this may delay the processing of your application. Occasionally, as I have seen on this same forum, depending on what bank you may use, they may decline the payment through the credit card. Personally, I wouldn't risk it. I used a money order for my application and I kept checking if it was cashed or not. It eventually got cashed and my case was updated.
 
2. I'd strictly follow what USCIS says, not what everyone else may be doing with bank statements and whatnot. Some may say that it may be too much, but it's what USCIS is asking for and they are the ones adjudicating your application. I too included every single statement since the opening of the account. USCIS specifically asks you to include anything and everything since the birth of the marriage, not to pick whatever months you desire. People have been RFE'd because they chose not to include all of the statements due to it being bulky or "too much". It's better to be safe than sorry. It doesn't matter if it's bulky and thick. You are simply following their instructions. I'd definitely include it all to avoid a possible RFE at the end. You are more than welcome to add another section within your package titled "Rent Payments" to show them all the payments that have been made towards the rent, yes.
 
3. We were told that it could only be under one name; however, we kept insisting and finding out to eventually adding both of our names. Since this applies to your case, you are more than welcome to add an explanation as to why, according to the company, it can only be under one name. They should be able to understand this. For me, since we recently just moved, we didn't have any utility bills under our names prepared when we sent the package. For those wondering: where we used to live, we didn't pay rent nor utility bills. We only paid T-Mobile and we sent every single statement from there. Again, personally, I'd send them ALL of the statements from your utilities because it shows continuity and that you received a bill for every single month that you were living together at the same location.
 
4. We used binder clips. Every section was separated with a cover that enumerated what was in that specific section. USCIS loves this because it makes it easier for the official looking at your application. It's also more organized and they love this. For example, the section with our pictures: I added a cover that explained what was in this section with its description. You may also look at some YouTube videos to see how other people have prepared theirs. Just ensure that you are organized enough so that the officer doesn't "waste" their time having to decipher or guess what exactly something is. Make sure you point them in the right direction and explain everything to the t.

I too recommend paying with a check or money order.  
 
When we submitted our ROC package, we separated all paperwork with the plastic sheet sleeves and organize them in a binder.  

1.  I used a personal check.  Easy to track and manage.
2.  I sent every page of every joint bank account statement.  I also sent a copy of our credit cards showing both of us on same account.
3.  A Utility bill under just one name is useless, imo.  You need quality evidence showing you both at the same address.
4.  I used binder clips and USPS Priority Mail.  It arrived in 2 days. We received my wife's extension letter a week later.
 
Good Luck.  I hope have a speedy ROC.  Some of us have not had a fast journey.

Pay by  personal check.  The www is littered with stories of couples that paid by Cherri card only to have the bank reject the charge.  
 
Show bank statements from each quarter from the time of AOS interview
