  1. So say somebody sends only evidence since becoming LPR (instructions tell since date of marriage). Say only quarterly statements are sent to save space. Say the evidence is for the last 7 quarters (because filing 90 days early) Joint checking = 2 pages per statement, 7 quarters => 14 pages Joint savings (same as above) => 14 pages Lease (very short one, haven't moved at all) => 3 pages Photos (3 per page, 7-8 in total) => 3 pages Gas / electric bill, 2 pages per statement, 7 quarters => 14 pages Internet / Phone / Other utility, 2 pages per statement, 7 quarters => 14 pages GC copy => 1 page IRS tax return transcript => 4-8 pages (1 vs 2 years) Trip reservations, 2 pages per trip, 2 trips a year => 6 pages I-751 form itself => 11 pages This thin packet would be consisting of just 73 pages of evidence and 11 pages of form itself, 84 in total. I haven't included 2-3 affidavits, page each, car insurance / ownership, club memberships, retirement plans listing spouse, stocks, any medical stuff, birth certificates of kids (if any) in this calculation. I was very conservative with pages per statement. Most of my banks send 4-7 page statements. AFAIK it's not advisable sending partial statements with missing pages, as this can lead to RFE. I cannot wrap my head around how a modest packet can be less than 80+ pages. IMHO it must be lacking evidence?
  2. I had no issues travelling on my passport and GE while I wasn't a LPR. Being LPR with GE I had mixed experiences. A few times I entered the US using facial recognition alone with no questions asked. A few times the kiosk asked me to scan documents. As @Mike E pointed out, the right document to scan would be GC and not passport, when you become LPR. But since I have expired GC and extension letter, that doesn't work so I have to see agent on some entries. It does not prevent me from enjoying a much shorter GE line instead of loooooong regular line. I tried updating docs on the system. The GC info is there, but at enrollment center, GE folks just won't add information about extension, I tried multiple times. So have to see human whenever kiosks are not in facial recognition mode.
  3. It's complicated, but one of my citizenships is in Western Europe. Sorry I'd like to keep the specifics out for privacy reasons.
  4. Have a safe flight! I transited through Turkey about a month ago. Used GC + extension letter on Turkish Airlines. No issues whatsoever. However, I understand the risk of being denied was there for sure. Though I travelled within Europe and and I have a pretty strong passport to my advantage.
  5. @WaterLeaf good luck at SSA tomorrow. FYI success story: You may also want to print out SSA doc mentioned here and give to SSA employee if they refuse to remove restrictions from SS card:
  6. Just curious to see what beverage is more popular among all of us
  7. Wanted to ask this question as I see more and more threads referring to the term "neutralization", when filing form N-400.
