We are getting the I-751 prepared - husband's GC expires on July 11. We hope to file by the end of this month. So far we have:

Joint bank statements

Copies of our NY State ID cards showing same address

Joint tax returns for 2009 and 2010

Copy of my legal name change(included changing my last name to married name)

Copy of my work benefits statement showing Govi as beneficiary on my life insurance policy and medical/dental insurance

Copy of itineraries from trips we took to India last summer and Christmas 2010 to visit my parents and upcoming Nepal trip (May '11)

Photos(5) from Christmas trip with my parents - don't have any of us together from India trip :(

We do not have a joint lease/mortgage or utilities since we are subletting/sharing an apartment and all the bills are in the main tenant's name. Since living in NYC is expensive and people do what they need to do to live here(our situation is not unusual by any means) I am hoping this will not be a big red flag - I will include an explanation of our circumstances.

Your list looks good. I got approved(no RFE) without sending mortgage/lease agreements. We dont have it because we were on my husband's company's dime.I did not enclose an explanation either.

Goodluck!!

Just because it's so very easy and eliminates a possible "what if" scenario: go to an office supply store and buy a standard rental agreement for about $1.00 plus sales tax. Fill it out and back-date it to the time you started renting. Sign it and have "the other people" sign it as well. Voila . . . problem solved.

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.

Falsifying evidence is not good advice.

you've got to be kidding me. this kind of "advice" (BS is more accurate) would only get people into serious trouble.

They are renting an apartment but have no contract. I suggested to fill out a contract for the apartment and have it signed. Anybody who sees anything illegal in this needs to get their head examined.
