I-751 Application Submission

[adonis123 2]

Did you punch holes on top of I 751 application when submiting it with other documents of evidence. I'll attach the check with paper clip to I 751 but going to submit it with the rest of the evidence. Is it ok to punch holes in it. Any advise would be appreciated.

How about using a large file clip or a large rubber band to hold everything together?

200 pages. Wow, I personally think thats an overkill. I don't think you would need to submit 200 pages to establish a valid bona fide marriage. Just out of curiousity, what all are you submitting.

I'm curious as well! I am almost ready to submit our petition, just waiting on one letter from my mother. I need to copy a few more things, but we are at ~75 pages. FYI, that includes the I-751, cover letter, table of contents list, list of previous addresses, photocopy of hubby's green card, every conceivable document (including a 3-page lease, the ridiculously long tax transcripts, various timepoints from our 4 bank accounts and car insurance, two joint car registrations, two joint health insurance companies, two states' driver licenses, 3 utility bills, 3 affidavits, copies of boarding passes, gym membership, AAA membership and ONE anniversary card from my mother) and 7 pages of 26 photos printed 2-4/page. ALL that is less than 100 pages, which I thought was way too much already.

On a similar note, did anyone submit using double-sided pages? I did for the I-130 but for this stack of documents, I printed everything single-sided, despite my aversion to wasting paper. Now that I know they put the clips at the top of the page, I am thinking that anything printed double-sided would have to be printed upside down so it can be read in the vertically flipped file.... probably I am just going to waste the paper and submit single-sided to avoid the issue...I did have a few things printed on the back (horizontally) so I'll have to re-copy them so all is single-sided.

I hope what we sent is good enough...25 pages total.

Well just to respond to my own statement....just got an approval text/email stating conditions have been removed based on 25 pages submitted 20 of those being actual supporting evidence. Sometimes less can be more.

Wow!!! it created a huge storm. Well that was a figurative expression describing lots of papers . I guess mine would be around 75-80 but i wasnt sure if I could punch holes in them. I read on the USCIS website now that they would appreciate if we could punch 2 holes on top while submitting the documents. My question is , can i punch holes in I751 as well. How are you guyz doing it.

Congratulations! I am starting to think I have too much... ugh, I hate thinking about this so much. I just want to get the paperwork rolling already (just waiting on one last thing so of course I will be thinking and re-thinking my package until it is sent )

I didn't include that much extra beyond what is suggested, but we do have four bank accounts and because we moved to a different state, everything like health insurance, drivers licenses and car title is double what it would be if we hadn't moved. Plus we are both self-employed so our tax transcripts are super long and if I don't print double-side... well, it adds up to a lot of paper.

To the OP - not a storm, it's just that we were (or I should only speak for myself - I was ) really interested in what else you were sending to get the total that high. Someone else mentioned sending a 3-lb package, so it makes me curious what all is included in these large submissions...

RE: the hole punches, I'm not going to do it as a) I don't own a hole punch and b) I'd have to figure out the distance for those two holes (which, OK, is probably not that hard, I'm sure I can look it up) and imagine how annoying that would be if I punched them a little off. I'm sure the USCIS folks have industrial hole punches and since pretty much nobody sends their docs with the holes, they must be used to doing punching the holes themselves.

Good luck to you - sounds like you have the same number of pages of evidence as I do...
