hey guys, i need your help. i sent my i-751 documents on November 7th and VSC received it on the 10th. after i sent the documents i just realized that i sent it too early because the start of the 90 days before my GC expire is November 24th. i called USCIS and the agent told me that they are going to send everything back to me... so i started paying some bills because i thought that they are not gonna cash the check since i sent the documents too early.. but then on December 1st they cashed the check and the check bounced.

now my question is... are they still gonna send me back everything or they are just gonna send a letter and all i need to send them is another check? how much is the charge for the bounce check?

Looks like they might try and debit your account two more times. If that doesn't work, they'll ask for a new check and an (unspecified) admin charge.

From the Paying Immigration Fees link from the I-751 page on the USCIS website:

If you are paying your fees by check, please be aware of the following:

Insufficient Funds – Please note that the electronic fund transfer from your account can occur faster than normal processing of a paper check. If we cannot complete the electronic fund transfer because your account has insufficient funds, we will try to make the transfer up to two more times. If your account still lacks sufficient funds, you will be billed the original check amount and a one-time administrative fee by USCIS.

Of course, your bank may also charge an NSF fee - but you'll need to talk to them about that.

I have the same question too. It doesn't say in the instructions that it can't be family

I copied this from http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-751instr.pdf

Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by at least two people who have known both of you since your conditional residence was granted and have personal knowledge of your marriage and relationship. (Such persons may be required to testify before an immigration officer as to the information contained in the affidavit) The original affidavit: his or her full name and address; date and place of birth; relationship to you or your spouse, if any and full information and complete details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge.

The anniversary date is on the GC it is the date you entered the United States. Example...If you enter the USA on July 1, 2012 then you have to file to remove conditions 90 days before July 1,2014. Hope this helps.

Gathering information for the I-751 form for my wife... As part of the application I'm also submitting a copy of her passport, do I need to submit a copy of mine as well?

I am also collecting documents to file I-751. Copy of her passport is not needed. Your Copy of passport or her copy of passport does not say that you are living in same house or at same address or prove your married status from the date She got GC.

Hi, I have a question about physical vs. mailing addresses.

We chose to keep my husband's parents' address as our official mailing address because it is more permanent.

However, our utility bills are in our physical residence address.

How do I file? Will it confuse them if I show 2 different addresses on the evidences we submit?

I saw that some people say we should submit a letter explaining why. Does anyone have a sample letter we can refer to?

Thanks!
