Our I-751 package is about 1" thick worth of paper work along with 50 or so photographs of us with family/friends at social events.

I'm not sure how many pieces of paper (or trees destroyed) 1" thick is.

This is my old VJ account : S.Fu + T.Fu (http://www.visajourn...le.php?id=67600). Forgot my old log in info - so created this new one.

The form is only 3 pages long. Adding in the utility bills, copies of credit cards, bank statements, insurance cards, 5 pictures, my wife's was probably about 16-18 pages. How do you get to 130? 175? :hehe:

We are still gathering ours, so right now I can't tell how thick / big it would be. But based on our visa packet, I'm sure it will be as heavy as a small christmas tree. :P:D

hi Eric-Pris, well my evidence was the same as yours, except that i included several statements over the last 2 years, so for example:

- Our residential lease - we are currently in the "3rd place" - and so included the 3 different leases from the last 2 years, and so that was 5 pages total

- Our American Express CC statements - we included 4 statements from each year, total 8 statements, at 3 pages per statement, that was 24 pages total, plus a spending statement for 2010 which was 7 pages, so total "Amex CC" section was 31 pages

- Our Bank statements - again we included approx 4 statements from each year, total 8 statements, at 2 pages per statement, that was 16 pages total, plus we included copy of a voided check and another page with copy of the actual bank cards - so that made it a total of 18 pages for the "bank statement" section...

and so on and so forth.... so you can see how everything adds up, we wanted to be as thorough as we can because we wanted to show co-mingling for the entire time, not just showing co-mingling for the last month before sending in the ROC stuff.

so total 175 pages :wacko: i even had to hold back some evidence just because it was so much already!

Mine was three inch thick.

wow wow wow :wacko: lol better more than less in this instance!
