ready to file form I751 and not enough evidence!!!

[Helen G. 0]

Well this week I am putting together my package, since my 90 days start on oct. 15 and I want to send it ASAP because my green card got stolen and I really need the stamp on my passport cause I need to make a trip to Honduras next month.

Here's my problem:

1. We have 2 daughters together (a 2year old and a 3 month old) the 2 year old has being on daycare before and he is listed as her dad and as emergency contact I have both of my in laws. I guess I can go to the daycares where she had assistance before and ask for a letter. also I can attached copy of cancel checks of the business acct.

2. We do have the business bank account together, I signed checks and also used a debit card under the business name. I will ask the bank for a letter.

3. I have my car insurance under his policy, I don't have the car under my name but I am in his car insurance policy.

4. He also have me on his health insurance (we have change health insurance company 3 times but I guess I can called each one and ask them for a letter)and the girls too.

5. Verizon wireless account: he have me on this too. I can show like a calling detail list of how many times a day we called each other.

6. tax returns we just have filed 2007 and he file an extension for 2008. we don't have credit cards, house, uilities together! I don't work, he support me.

This is ALL I HAVE! NOTHING MORE!!! Does anybody think I might get a letter asking for more evidence. I don't have more, I will attached some affidavits, mailing address together, pictures, plane tickets traveling to my country together.

Has ANYONE BEFORE with children together received a letter asking for more evidence???????????????????????????????

If they do, I will ask for an infopass appointment and go in person with my husband!

Please advice me in what to expect. :

Believe it or not, that is more than enough. My husband and I have separate credit card accounts and all I did is send copies of each one showing that they share the same address. Same for all other correspondence. I also included bank statements from our bank accounts, car insurance info showing both of our names, his name as a dependent on my health insurance, pictures of us together and with my family, trip itineraries from our vacation, etc.

So try to gather as much as stuff that you may think of and send it in. It will be plenty.

That is actually very good evidence. Make sure to include copies of the bank statements spanning the duration of your marriage. Same goes for car insurance, etc.

You are good to go.

Those are pretty much all they ask. Add affidavits if you want to add something to it but you should be fine. Not everyone have cars/house/investments/mortgages and etc.. and USCIS knows that.

Good luck and wish you fast approval!

It sounds plenty. I would include evidence of the tax extension just so they know thats why those taxes are missing. Apart from that you sound fine. I added christmas cards adressed to us both and 2 anniversary cards (one for the ist and one for the 2nd).

Helen, Helen, Helen . . .

It's not about having the biggest package. Having the biggest package only gives you:

1) bragging rights

2) makes the life of the deciding IO miserable

Anybody who has a 2-year GC has been approved long ago. The I-751 is only a check to see of the marriage is real or was a sham to circumvent immigration law. If a couple is still happily married after 2 years and files jointly, that is a 75% home-run. The remaining 25% are showing that you live together, intermingled your finances, your life, and did things together married people do. If you can provide SOME form of proof for that, and the IO can look through your file and nods with his or her head, it's a done deal.

Don't think for a moment you have to drown them in paperwork. You don't. My my I-751 form I sent, for example:

1) a cover letter telling who we are and listing the items enclosed

2) a copy of my GC

3) an original letter from my bank stating accounts, balances, and that my wife and I are both authorized users

4) copy of joint credit cards

5) copy of joint AAA membership cards

6) copy of joint auto insurance policy

7) copies of "joint" titles for cars we bought after we got married (I'm a collector)

8) 4 sheets of 3 photos each from family events, vacations, holidays, etc.

I think I send about 14 pages total. Note that I didn't send a rent agreement or mortgage since I had the house years before I met my wife, and I also didn't sent a single account statement, as the various accounts we have are all in either of our names (and that includes our Roth IRAs) or in business names.

What matters is that a couple is married "for real" and lives together "for real." If that's the case, there's NOTHING to worry about and it's pretty impossible to not being approved.
