I sent ours out yesterday to the Vermont service center. Spent months collecting evidences and marked the calendar which day I needed to send it out. Must've checked the package at least 10 times. I'm confident that we have enough. So glad that's over. Now we wait. Goof luck everyone.

I didn't have a house deed either since my house was bought before I was married and it's in my name only. I have no concerns about this for myself. You have plenty of other evidence.

[Amit-N-Melody 11]

The Receipt date is 08/13/2012 :-) woot woot...

[~ameriptian~ 54]

What about house deed / rental agreement type thing?

We are currently staying at one of my grandparents-in-law's houses until our move by the beginning of the year, so no we don't have any deed / rental type of proof.

Thanks for the input!

[Amit-N-Melody 11]

@Ameri

You can get an affidavit from your Grandparents or In-laws or whoever owns the house you are staying in for a rental agreement..

We lived with my parents for 1.5years... we just got our own house back in April... so... in my Dad's and Mom's affidavit.. it states that We lived with them as a happy couple.. bla bla bla from x date to x date... that should cover that...

[Amit-N-Melody 11]

This is what I gathered and sent in my I-751 packet:

Cover Letter

• Check Number XXXX, Payment of $590 for I-751 and Biometric fee

• Notice of Requirement to file Joint Petition

• I-751

• Copy of Driver’s License, Bank Card, Zoo Membership (Me)

• Copy of Bank Statements

• Affidavits from Family and Friends with the knowledge of our Marriage and On-going Relationship

• Pictures from over the past 2 years (50 in order from his POE, showing Holidays, Birthdays and comingling with my Family)

Everything was color coded... and in proper place... checked it 1000 times... When the NOA came... at the bottom of the NOA it says:

If you have not already done so, provide supporting documents to assist the USCIS in processing your petition and to establish eligibility to remove the conditional basis of your permanent residence. PLEASE INCLUDE A COPY OF THIS RECIEPT NOTICE WITH ANY SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS YOU SUBMIT. Such evidence may include, but not limited to, the following items:

- Lease of joint tenancy or joint ownership of assets

- Joint Mortgage agreement and/or property deed

- Tax Returns

- Birth Certificate(s) of any child(ren) born from the marriage

- Joint polices of life, medical and/ or car insurance

I have already sent all of this with my I-751... But this list is much more managable... hahahahahahahahah mine was like a term paper!!!!
