My turn to freak out...

[Rings 10]

Ok I am filing this week. I have gotten paranoid and so this is what I have. I know I am just in freak out mode, but I love my baby so I want to be sure this is right.

1. Tax Returns for last year

2. Car insurance documents from when we got our car insurance two years ago to date with the same policy number as the car insurance documents I have current.

3. Lease and even the rental application we both signed when we moved & Additional information form with last address and current address on it and the deposit request form dated from when I requested my deposit back.

4. Copies of the conditional green card back and front

5. a letter from our old property manager when he first moved in and the criminal background check they did on him and a letter saying the date we both moved out.

6. Our I865 change of address notification from the USCIS

7. A letter from our bank stating that we have a joint savings account and all of the statements up to last month.

8.Letter from new property manager saying we signed the lease on company letter head

9.Lead Based Paint Disclosure and mold prevention forms we both had to sign before we moved in

10. Letter from my company of when I started health plan and when I ended it.

11. Medical cards from when we started our policy and changed our policy and the new cards as well.

12.Copy of enrolling into new medical with all the family names on it

13. 9 sworn affidavits.

14. Photos

15. Plane tickets with both our names on it and itinerary from when we went to Vegas last month together. I am even sending in the baggage labels since they have both our names on them for the same flight.

What else can I possibly send them? Did I miss something important?

[Rings 10]

Ok I have the utility and electric bill in both our names too lol. I am sitting here sifting through boxes of paperwork up to my ears lol

Does anyone here know if we need a new passport photo for this?

You do not need a passport photo unless you are overseas (military etc)

Don't freak out. This part of the process is much easier than what you have probably already gone through. Ultimately it is up to the USCIS to prove a false marriage and it sounds like you have great evidence to suggest otherwise.

I quote VJ here:

On the "don't panic" front -- ultimately the burden of proof is on the CIS to show a fraudulent marriage. Even if CIS denies, the application can be renewed in front of an Immigration Judge (IJ) in Removal Proceedings -- and the IJ's tend to APPROVE those cases.

Sit back and relax and you will be fine!

Way too much stuff. I sent 17 or 18 pages total, including cover letter, photocopies, tax returns, and photographs. What are you trying to accomplish by drowning the IO in ####### and upsetting him? You only have to show that you are still married and live together. If you do, it's a done deal.

AOS = Stressful

ROC = Easy

*relaxes* and honestly I don't care if I piss him off with "too much" I would rather do that then get an RFE and delay my case. It's their job to look through this ####### and that's what our tax dollars pay them to do. I am relaxing now that someone told me it was too much ####### though hahahaha.... whew

Who is 'him' - the adjudicator?

As far as I know, they employ women, too...!

I wonder if the person who worked on my case got upset with me since I sent in at least 3lbs of documents? I know that it's way, way, way too much but from the looks of it, it didn't hurt my application at all.

True, but it didn't help either.

People need to understand that the ROC is not equal to an application to become a permanent resident. They have been approved 2 years earlier and are LPRs already; the ROC is just a check to filter out the fraudsters, many of which would not have been able keeping up the charade of a fake marriage for 2 years.

A married couple that is still living together, filing jointly, is automatically approved. All they like to see is SOME documentation showing intermingling of life and finances.

The size of the package means nothing, it just slows things down and makes the IO want to close the file and pick a smaller one so that she can go home.

I disagree... especially when I know that most of the things that I sent were strong proofs that we are intermingling. I am a believer of "the more, the better" and so far it has been working for me from the time we did K1 till ROC.

I completely agree. Look at all my time lines. Every step of this entire thing I have freaked out and went overboard and sent in too much stuff and never had an RFE or any delays. Our whole process has been smooth and quick and I think it's because I am so organized. I have a 3 ring binger sitting here with more than enjough to justify everything they need. I am looking to avoid an interview and go straight to Biometrics. I personally think it makes their job earsier than having to do the paperwork to issue the RFE and cases like mine are the simple ones that people want to "get off their desks"

I think it's a stretch to say that your cases went through quickly because of the reams of paper you sent them. There are a LOT of factors which can dictate how fast or slow a particular case goes.

It's a personal choice. I try to find a happy medium between not enough and sending a copy of "War and Peace" - but at the end of the day, it's up to the applicant to decide what they want to send.

It's rare to have an interview for Removal of Conditions. So if you don't receive an interview, avoid thinking you're special. Most people get a similar result.
