Documents Needed

[msheesha 548]

Hi all,

Are birth certificates and marriage license necessary to send in with I-751? I assume we would need to send them in, but haven't seen them mentioned in the guides or other posts re: evidence and documents needed.

Thanks for your help.

No you don't need those for removal of conditions.

Birth certificates are listed - if you had children include birth certificate as evidence. Otherwise follow the instructions and the guides.

Thank you; appreciate your help.

Right - for children, but I was asking about myself and my husband. Thanks for your help.

Another question about proof for ROC.

We bought a house soon after my husband arrived. He did not have established credit history in this country, and that would negatively impact our interest rate on mortgage. Mortgage company initially said he didn't have to go on application and could still be on deed and mortgage. A week or two before closing, mortgage company said she made a mistake and he couldn't go on mortgage and deed without having been on application. She also said we couldn't re-do application because with his non-existent credit score, he would not qualify.

So, the mortgage, etc is in my name, but I have the history of emails between myself and the mortgage lender detailing her initial response and errors, and reason why this was necessary. It doesn't look great for immigration, but we didn't want to wait and risk missing out on the low interest rates while husband established a credit score.

We have a joint bank account, dental insurance through my company (it's cheaper for us to get medical coverage through our own employers rather than both of us being on one). We own one car together, and are listed together on that car info, both cars' insurance policies, beneficiaries on life insurance policies, home owners insurance. We were listed on apt lease together (before buying house), and that renters insurance policy. We also have a joint credit card.

What are the opinions about including the emails between myself and the mortgage lender about the misinformation, and explanation as to why husband is not on the mortgage? Or should we provide the other evidence and leave that without an explanation?

Thanks for help!

We had a similar problem. We bought a house a few months after I moved to the US but due to my lack of credit, I couldnt be on the loan and we were never given the option to add me to the deed. We submitted a short letter explaining the situation with our packet. I think it would be a good idea for you to address it with a short letter or statement. Its up to you if you want to include the emails, but it couldn't hurt. If it makes you feel better, it wasnt an issue for us. You have plenty of other evidence, so I think you will be just fine!

If you want to document and how is up to you. Personally I am not going to mention anything about the wife not being on the mortgage. My parents were married for over 54 years and my Mother was not on their mortgage, she was on the deed after the house was paid off. I think we should live our lives and make decisions based on what is best for our situation and not what looks good to the USCIS. My wife is also not on our mortgage. This is one item. As long as you have other items of co-mingling of your lives you will be fine. We have just under a year before we file and I sure hope the USCIS person doesn't try to tell me my relationship in not legit as I really do not want to live in Leavenworth .

I would hope most people at the USCIS understand that the spouse does not have a credit history and what that means to the interest rate.

Good luck,

Dave
