Thanks guys - raymaga, kaffy, Yiyi and Chris, Candid_witch, Thai Family, Roza, waitingforever, babybebita, frali, silent, Jamericanlove, sgr, bani (F)(F)(F)

I'll be in VJ off and on, can't leave this lovely group :crying::crying::crying:

My special thanks to Em4oAndKrisi for his support to publish my document in VJ wiki pages :star::star::star:

Bottom line:- USCIS says to call them if you don't get green card within 30 days after the POE. It is true. So, if any of you moves beyond this deadline, you need to follow it up with the USCIS... Also, any corrections in the green card or SSN must be done as soon as possible for a better future (to avoid another bitter experience that we all had with the USCIS while I-130 pending)...

What kind of docs are needed to remove the condition ???

Focus on joint fiancial paperwork. Bank statements (checking, savings, credit), joint tax returns, joint utility bills, joint insurance (home, car, life, health), any joint loans eg. car payments and such.

Also keep copies showing joint residence, leases or deeds of ownership.

Collect photographs from family events, trips together etc.

Keep copies of any travel itinerarys for both of you.

It would be so much easier to start saving information as you go instead of trying to gather everything when it's time to file. They like to see that you have a fiancial life together at the next stage., along with many other things.
