Couple of small questions; wording, and tax transcripts.

Just about to file for ROC, and a couple of minor items:

Who is/are the "petitioner/s" here? Are we both petitioners? Is it still only the USC who is petitioning on behalf of the alien, or, as we are "filing this petition together"(as per the wording on I-751) can we say we are both petitioners? Seems like such a silly point, but I don't want any confusion with how we are referring to ourselves on our cover letter.

With regards to tax transcripts - should we send the originals, or copies? We made photocopies of them and were going to send them (and of course they do ask for copies of all your evidence, not originals), but when it comes to transcripts that we could potentially re-order, should we send the originals? What did you do?

Thank you!

This is a jointly filed document, you are both petitioning to remove conditions.

Tax transcripts in them selves are a "Copy", you can send the original ones and keep a copy.

In my case I had IRS FAX them to my computer me, so in essence they were a copy anyway, I simply printed them out and sent them, and kept the Fax files for future uses if any.

you can send the transcripts or copys and then you make more copies for your n-400 citizenship in the future,

In the cover letter, I put both hubby and myself as senders and we both signed the letter. After all, it is a JOINT petition. If you acquired residency through marriage and you ar still together, you and your spouse must file jointly

according to the I-751 instructions.

As for the tax transcripts, I made photocopies of the transcripts only and sent those along with the letter attached by IRS. Did not photocopy the letter itself. I am keeping the original transcripts...am not good at waiting for another transcript

Thanks everyone!

One more question: When sending a money order for the fee (which is what we're going to end up doing), do I need to put my A number or any other identifying information on the back of the order, or anything like that?

I-485 . . . . US citizen petitions for foreigner

I-751. . . . US citizen and foreigner petition for foreigner

N-400 . . . Foreigner petitions for foreigner.

A natural progression, Darwin style.

You can put A# on the M.O. this way if for some reason it gets seperated they can use the number to match it back with the file.
