I-751 MARCH 2012 FILERS

[aniaskot 0]

welcome back guys

I am sending mine out in a few days

[Kevin-n-Merlaine 14]

Do we need the tax transcripts? Aren't our returns enough??

Yes, they're fine. I'm not sending transcripts with this bunch of stuff. I did for the I-130 but I'm just sending the returns with copies of w-2's this time.

[Kevin-n-Merlaine 14]

No worries. The more information, the better. BTW, I came across this post that made me realize how straightforward our packets should be without too much, "Fluff".

It states that adjusticators must process 11 I-751s PER HOUR! Wow!

Sorry to step on your thread I looked back 4 pages and couldn't find one (I shoulda looked better)

[sachinky 465]

Maybe we could just merge the threads?

After reading that post I'm wondering if my folder is a good idea? I bought a small clear presentation binder with the easy load style page protectors to put all this stuff in. Everything comes out of the binder easily but I don't want to piss off an underpaid, overworked staffer??

We are going to be mailing our packet on the second week of March!!

Good luck everyone.

I am not an expert in the topic so I am not going to say your folder idea is wrong or right. Just be aware of what the USCIS recommends.

We are planning to hold the packet together with ACCO fasteners, hold the check with a clip, and put everything in a manila envelope. We might highlight information, such as, names, addresses, etc.

This is our first time also so do what you think is right.

Good idea. I'll post here from now on.

I've got plenty of time so I think I'll go back to the drawing board - the one at office depot - and assemble it with acco fasteners Thanks moonlight I've read the uscis website top to bottom and for some reason I've missed that

Hope that's enough. It's going to be a lot of papers. I'm going to be using a heavy duty clip to put them all together on the top.

Looks like VSC is averaging 8 months to process ROCs. So if we file this month, we're looking at getting our new green cards in November or December this year?

[sachinky 465]

8 months? Damn.

What's the thought on travelling internationally with an expired GC and a NOA1?

I heard it's okay, might wanna search threads about that under this sub-forum. I personally would not want to risk it, even though I've heard people do just fine, for the simple fact that I don't trust people to do their jobs well. Knowing my luck, I'd probably end up at a POE where someone there does not or has never had to deal with a situation like that and sends me right back.
