Ready to send -

I have the packet ready to go. I feel confident about the amount of items I have, but not confident in the fact that I don't have much spanning the entire 2 years. I didn't realize to start saving things until I researched the process at the beginning of 2008.

This is my table of contents:

• I-751 Application

• Copy of PR Card

• Lease (2006, 2007)

 Letter from Landlord

Financial Information

• Bank Information

 Letter of Explanation

 Union Bank & Wescom

 Copy of Check from Mutual Account

• Tax Information

 Tax Transcripts (2005, 2006, 2007)

 Stimulus Check Mailer

 Letter from Canada Revenue

• Joint Credit Accounts

• Life Insurance and Investment Beneficiary

 Health Insurance Statements & Correspondence

• Joint Utility Bills

• Auto Purchase

 Bill of Sale Ford Taurus & Nissan Frontier

 Mutual Insurance Card

 Auto Loan information

 DMV Registration Notices

 Interim Driver’s License

 Car Maintenance Receipt

Other Documents of Support

• Travel Information

• Pay Stubs

• Bills showing address

• Junk Mail

• Correspondence

 Letter from Mother-in-Law + Envelopes

• Photos

Affidavits

• Letter Regarding Relationship from Supervisor

• Letter Regarding Relationship from Friends

Is it going to be a big red flag that I don't have much covering the first year? (other than tax and lease information?)

I assume the tax returns are joint, so I see no problems.

You are providing far more info than I am putting together

Yes joint taxes.

I don't know why the heck I didn't start saving stuff as soon as we got here. I also didn't think about adding him to all the utility bills as I had already established accounts with my name and I should have known better from hanging out here.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see!!

your list looks quite good. Can you not request past statements from your bank and/or credit card companies to fill in some of the areas in which you feel weak?

On the bank statements, for some odd reason - even though I added him to the account and it was "joint" they didn't add him to the statement. They did send a few correspondence to us though that had both our names so I used that and also copied our checking account with both names.

I didn't add him to the credit accounts until he had established some credit so again, I have stuff from the 2nd year on those but not the first. I guess if I get an RFE I'll have to ask the bank to put something in writing saying he was joint as of blah blah date.
