Recent evidence only - no early evidence

[DaFlava 0]

I actually have 2 questions regarding filing to remove status:

1. My green card expires 8/6/09 (approved 8/6/07) and by my calculations I am eligible to file to remove the conditions starting May 8, 2009. Is that correct or am I too early?

2. I am putting my paperwork together but I now realize that I only have evidence of marriage and living together starting mid 2008. For 2007 we lived in a family home hence no lease information. All our banking is done online and I am not able to retrieve older bank statements from 2007. I have the tax return transcripts from 2007 and 2008 (filed jointly) and bank statements for 2008-now. We started proceedings to buy our house in July 2008 but the final sale did not come through until Jan 09 so all the paperwork related to the house (deed, mortgage, bills) is dated Jan 2009 - now.

The question is this:

What other evidence can I show for 2007?

If I am not able to show proof from 2007 and early 2008, will that raise suspicions?

If it raise suspicions then they will call you in for interview and all you have to do is explain the situation. get a letter from family home ower stating that u lived with them in 2007. if you received any mail at that address then put that in your package.

I was hoping to avoid that if possible. I will have the 2007 and 2008 tax returns and will try to get old statements from the bank and pray that is enough.

I am also hoping that I am not filing too early, does anyone know?

You file 90 days prior to the expiration of your conditional green card, not before, not even one day before. Early in that time period is recommended. Good luck!

Have a notarized statement from your family with whom you lived detailing the living arrangements and verifying you were living with them from beginning date to end date.

What about health coverage? Insurance plans? Driver's licenses showing old address and new address? Ask your bank for a print out of when you added your spouse's name to the account or when the account became joint and the names on the account. What about credit cards? joint memberships (ie AAA, Sam's club, Costco, etc.)? Did you have your own cell phone plan listing both names or were both names included on a joint family plan with someone else? You can also write your wills and include those. Time to start thinking creatively:-). Good luck.

We are contacting our HR department to get copies of our insurance plans for the last 2 years showing each other as the beneficiary, hope they will come through to us. We are not on each other’s insurance plans.

We have our driver’s licenses with the old address and change of address card with the new address.

We went to the bank and got old statements, June and Dec 07, June and Dec 08, March 09 for the joint account

Our joint credit cards are all newer and so are our various memberships, they are from mid 08 - 09. I hope that I have listed above along with the joint tax return will be sufficient for 2007 proof.

Thank you!
