Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum. I joined today. I am a from India and my wife is an American Citizen. I mailed my I-751 petition on the 16th of April 2012 through USPS priority mail. I saw in the USPS website that the mail has been delivered yesterday at 12:15 PM (18th April 2012). There are the documents I have submitted with my application.

1) house lease cosigned by me and my wife

2) birth certificates of 2 babies born to us in these 2 years

3) Bank certified letter saying we have a joint account since 2009.

4) copies of E-filed joint tax returns for 2010 and 2011.

5) Insurance cards copies showing my wife and children as beneficieries.

6) dental insurance certified letter

7) renters insurance letter

8) 4 affidavits from friends.

9) our marriage invitation card

10) photos of us, our daughters for the last 3-4 years (25 photos)

11) mails addressed to both of us.

12) emails addressed to both of us.

13) email interactions between us.

14) 5 research papers where we had worked and published together in the lasy 5 years.

I request your opinions on 2 of my questions:

1) Are e-filed tax return copies enough or do I have to send tax transcripts. I just ordered but will have them in 1 week time.

2) If tax transcripts are essential can I mail them to vermont center once I receive them or will I wait for them to ask for evidence.

Please let me know your thoughts

I haven't read the following post, so excuse me if I'm repeating, but my moms an accountant and we had the same problem. My mom called the IRS back in 2009 and she couldn't electronically file because of my husband at the time not having a SSN. She was able to WRITE IN "non-resident alien" in the SSN section for husband though and I filed "married filing separately" but I did have to mail them in manually.

yeah it was too much of a hassle 2 year vs 3 years of taxes does it really matter to get a 10 year card, I dont think so, for Naturalization yes.

There is no point in pulling your hair out for this reason. If your spouse is here now. The ball is in your court not USCIS, if your marriage is legitimate why worry, just provide them of what they need in a timely manner, and let USCIS prove that your marriage is a sham. GOOD LUCK USCIS PROVE ME WRONG.

You can add joint costco memberships if you have one, joint credit card statements if you have them, joint bills, joint auto ownership and insurance and so on

I guess by the time you get around to getting those additional documents your tax returns copy from IRS would have arrived :-)

But seriously, what I did was to go to IRS office, sit in queue for 2 hrs (sigh!) and get a copy of tax returns over the counter! When you do not want to do this, you could either send your package without the returns and send the returns copy later or just wait for the returns copy to arrive and send them all together. If I were you and when there is still time to file, I would wait for the returns copy and send entire package at one go.

The poster has already mailed their package, but what you listed could be good if they get an RFE.

To the original poster: Don't mail them anything new unless you get an RFE. Likely what you sent will be good enough.
