I-751 cover letter

[Jelly 0]

Hi All

I am getting ready to file i-751 and collecting all our joint information.

I was wondering when writing out the cover letter with what is included, is it wise or unwise to include reasons why something is not in there.

My specific example is that my husband and I live together but I am not on the lease as the Landlord would raise the rent a phenomenal amount. He lives out of state so isnt around very often to know.

Would it be silly of us to write a reason as to why there isnt a joint lease included with the evidence that we submit or should we just not mention it.

We have other evidence, joint bank accounts, credit cards, health insurance, car insurance tax returns etc.

thanks in advance for your help

I wouldn't bother. If you have other avenues covered there shouldn't be a problem. And those pieces of evidence have the joint address on them anyway, right?

Another thing you could do is include the lease with your documents and write on it why you're not on it. Or ask the landlord if he could verify that you live there? A lot of people don't have joint leases or mortgages because of the USC being established in their home before the spouse turns up.

Good luck!

THanks for your advice.

Yes the other documentation has the joint address on it.

That was actually the question i was asking, would it be sensible to include the lease with a reason I am not on it, or just ignore it and hope that the rest of the evidence is enough.

thanks

Essentially there are two facets to the proofs required to remove conditions from an alien's PR at the I-751 stage. Proof of co-mingled finances (including assets/liabilities and equities) and proof of cohabitation. Joint obligation on a lease can help to show that the parties are sharing the financial burden of marriage and that they indeed reside in the same place, but in the event that a joint lease is not available, then other evidence can do the same. I wouldn't draw attention to what you 'don't have", but would focus on what you do.

Thanks for the reply.. that is what I was wondering.
