SO.. i have been reading around the forums and compared times. It's crazy how faster the california center is. Also , there were some ppl who got their gc after 4 months in the vermont center, but others waiting still after 11 months. And how do they get email notifications about their status? Is it when you register with uscis online and you enter the receipt number? you can track it? i don't have a receipt number yet...lol i just sent the package.. from reading these forums.. at this rate i will go insane by the time everything is over

Hey everybody. I am sending out my 751 this week and was wondering if the affidavit is necessary or any other proof is necessary since I am sending the following:

-State and Federal return 2011

-Airline reservations/passes from 6 trips together

-Joint Checking and Savings account statement

-Copy of our joint credit cards

-Joint insurance card copies

-Copy of our deed

-Various pictures together

Thanks for the help

Tomorrow is my husbands and my 2nd wedding anniversary. Getting ready to send our ROC early next week. Waiting for our tax transcripts and need to get a couple of affidavits about our marriage. Don't have mortgage with both our names on it because the housing market here in Michigan is so bad. Trying to get as many pieces of evidence as possible. We have lots of photos from all sorts of family events.

We will be filing through the California Service Center.

We had to reorder checks too. They came in the mail within a week. I would not use those temporary checks because there are a lot of businesses not accepting those and you don't want to risk it if USCIS is weird about it. Money orders is the way to go if you will not wait for the checks. A voided check with both of your names on it is great evidence too thou. But this is just my opinion, others might answer better

Good luck!

A couple people here asked if affidavits are necessary.

The affidavits are one of the things the USCIS lists in the instructions document as an example for proof of ongoing relationship, so I would highly recommend sending them along with the application.

My 2 cents...

Edit...

This is how its worded: "The documents should cover, but not limited to, the following examples:"

1) Birth certificate of children if applicable

2) Lease or mortgage documents

3) Financials (Taxes, bank accounts, insurance policies, utilities etc.)

4) Affidavits

5) Others
