Hello,

I submitted some documents to remove the condition on residence...I already got my biometrics appointment. Today I got a I-797E notice asking for more documents, such as federal tax returns, copies of leases, at least two affidavits, and a paper written by me where I describe where I met my husband, the events of my weddings, pictures, wedding invitations ect. I didn't really have a real wedding, only the witnesses were present... I have a few pictures of that day, but no wedding invitations...do you think it will be a problem?

Also, I made plan to visit my family around the end of july, for 25days...I got a notice saying that my status was extended for one year...my green card will be expired by the time I get back. Do you think they will let me back in the country?thanks

Just gather the evidence you have (that was requested) and you should be ok.

Take your extension letter with you when you travel - that will let you back in.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

If your marriage is real, just give 'em what you've got and as much of what they ask for. Describe your relationship (OTHERS, note: you can do that in your cover letter) in a convincing letter (have someone qualified proof-read it before mailing it), and add photos. You should have at least a few photos showing you and your husband together at parties, vacations, activities, family gatherings, etc., don't you?

P.S.

As a fellow immigrant I'll be glad to help anyone proofreading a document for such purposes.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Yes, my marriage is real and I have pictures of my husband and I together. I guess I'll send as many documents as possible and hopefully it'll be enough this time. :unsure:

I think you got what is called RFE "Request for Further Evidence". Please submit as much documents as you can like joint utility bills, joint bank accounts, photos, I would recommend getting affidavits from friends or family, as it's is mentioned by USCIS in I-751 instruction, though it is optional but including it doesn't hurt. With USCiS always remember overload them with documents and proof. The more amo the better it is.

Send 2006-2008 tax documents, lease documents for last 2-3 years since you got married. Car loan or registration documents etc.

For a complete list of documents which will help you read this thread please.

Thanks! I had already sent the tax documents for 2006-2007...the ones for 2008 were not ready yet when I sent the I-751. Once I have all the documents ready I will post the list on here and hopefully someone will give it a look and tell me if it looks ok.
