Hi, My wife is the US Citizen and I am the immigrant. Ideally she would come with me for my Biometrics appointment but she already made an appointment before we received the Biometrics appointment time/date. So, she wanted to know is she needs to go with me.

Thanks.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Did everyone else's say something along the lines of "If you have not already done so, please send supporting evidence."?

It seems odd that mine says this when surely they will not accept an application if it does not have supporting evidence.

Thanks.

I don't think it would be the best idea to travel without the card.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Hi, our I-751 NOA arrived today but there is something that seems a bit odd to me about it. I wanted to know if it is normal that it only lists myself (Immigrant) as the petitioner, even though it is a JOINT petition.

Congratulations!

Hi, our I-751 package was mailed to the California Service Center via Express Mail (next day) on Wednesday, last week. I know it may be too early to expect our NOA, but is it too early to be expecting them to have cashed our check?

Thanks.

Nope, no-one? Let's hope ours all arrive on time, then.

Congratulations!

Hi, I was just wondering, what would happen if someone's NOA doesn't arrive before their Conditional Residence expires, even if they applied for the I-751 well before the date of expiry?

Thanks.

Congratulations!

A cover letter with Dear Sirs: Re your full name and A# application for I-751.

Please find enclosed a check for application fee amount and biometrics amount for the total amount of $xxx.xx and the enclosed evidence listing your evidence.

List.

These are financially hard times for many of us, but a very brief description like, my husband was laid off, we purchased a home or whatever, had to file bankruptcy, we had moved in with my parents, I did find a job to help so can only submit one tax return. My husband and I are deeply in love and committed to work through these hard times with the help of my parents, we had to put off having a baby, etc.

Don't get emotional, keep it short and direct, be honest and keep the total letter on one single page. These letters are difficult to craft, but that way they will know what's going on and won't have questions.

But it's up to you.

The list is quite reasonable. A few more photos won't hurt. Also, try to make sure you've covered all of the last two years (ie all tax returns together not just most recent, utility bills from every couple of months since you've been here etc etc)

I back up "more pictures".

Pictures are still worth a thousand words!

I would also add copies of both your driver's licenses or State ID cards showing both of you at the same address. For your tax returns, I suggest sending tax transcripts from the IRS.

the prob is that we changed our address thru online and we didnt renew our driver's liscence with the new address...

You should update your driver's licenses or State ID's ASAP. You should be able to walk in and get it done and have the new ones the same day. Also, I am not sure what the laws are in your State, but in Iowa, I think you have to update your IDs after moving.

I thought the Affidavit of Support DOES/DID need to be notarized.

Yay! Congrats!

I don't know how big of a deal it is to some people to have finally mailed the application packet out, but to us, it is a huge relief to finally get it out of the way.

I mailed if out by express mail with a return receipt. It should be at the California Service Center within a couple of days. Now we get to have the fun and games of waiting and suddenly realizing that we have forgotten some piece of tiny evidence that won't make much difference but will annoy us that we didn't send it.

My Green Card expires in September, so hopefully we get the NOA soon.

Anyway, thank you to all the people who answered our questions.

Does someone have too much time on their hands?

My Green Card expires in about a month, so we don't have time to order the transcripts. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Hi, we wanted to file today but I wanted to find something out regarding tax returns and W2s.

Do you really need to send W2s?

My wife and I have lived at 3 different addresses since I moved here. My wife's W2 from 2006 has address number 1 on it. Mine have address number 2.

My wife's W2 for 2007 has address number 2 on it. Mine has address number 3.

I noticed this today and it is frustrating. It is as if my employer's updated their files when we moved and my wife's did not.

Do we really need to send the W2s or are the joint tax returns enough? I just don't want to have any issues from our W2s having different addresses on them.

Thanks.

Hi, when we filed for the K1 visa we had plenty of photos from our visits together. When we filed for AOS we had plenty of photos from the wedding. Since then, we haven't really done a whole lot that we would take photos together for. So, if we didn't submit any photos, or only submitted a few, would that be a mojour problem?

Thanks.

Is 5 lbs average or a bit excesive? Ours isn't that much. I don't think it matters too much to them if you have a kid or not. Not having a kid doesn't mean that you don't love each other, and if that is how they see, we are in trouble. We have two cats, that we say are like our kids.

When we were getting ready to file for the K1 visa years ago, I read that someone had their application refused because their signature looked like a photo copy or something like that. Does this stuff still happen? I am just wondering so that we know we are safe signing in black.

Might seem like a stupid question but if it makes the difference then it isn't stupid.
