Hi

I searched for the answer to this question and couldn't find anything.

I have question for those who have received their 10 Yr Green Card.

My husband and I started our jouney back in 2005 with the K-1.

We never had a problem during our immigration process.

Now that I have a 10 year Green Card my question is this....

Do we really need to keep allllll the paper work that goes with K-1, Adjust Status, Remove Conditions blah blah etc....???????

Have any of your garbaged things like DS 156 and "packet 3" etc.

I would love to be able to throw that away and use the space for something more desirable.

Let me know if any of you think tossing this stuff away is a bad idea

Thanks a bunch

Keep everything until you have your citizenship. It is rarely needed, but when it is nothing sucks more than not having it. If you ever need an attorney, they will love you if you have all of it organized reverse-chronologically by notice date or filing date, in a three ring binder. Having to FOIA for this information or play it from memory is painful.

Trust me on this, nothing feels better than keeping it all - until you get your citizenship. Then putting together a nice little bonfire and burning it (except for your Naturalization Certificate, stick that somewhere safe).

I am not a lawyer. I am familiar with the immigration process, but any questions I answer are not advice or represented as being true for your situation in any form or manner. I am not liable if you read what I have written and act upon it. Do your own research, ask an attorney for assistance, and make up your own mind. Nevertheless, I may attempt to answer questions from time to time to give you an idea of what to search for in finding out your answer.

My husband's next step in the process will be his citizenship and I have kept everything in a file since we had started the K-1 more then 3 years ago. I wouldn't throw anything out yet(except the Naturalization Certificate, as maztec said )until he is completely done with this whole immigrations process and is finally a USA citizen!

Good Luck and Best Wishes to you both! :thumbs:

I concur, keep everything...you never know, most of it will fit into a couple of files or a small briefcase or boxfile but believe me keep it...

Thanks a bunch

All done for the next 10 years...

I've kept everything for now -- once I received citizenship, I'll probably get rid of some of it, but not all of it, especially the stuff that came straight from USCIS. Since the bulk of it fits nicely in a binder, it doesn't take up all that much room.
