More Random I-751 Questions

[CanAmBride 5]

Hi Everyone-

My packet is almost ready to send! Just two quick questions I was hoping someone could help me out with:

1) Did you black out anything on your bank statements? I was thinking of blacking out my account numbers. It just seems odd to send all of my financial information to a complete stranger....

2) What format did you submit your evidence? Right now I have it in a binder organized by tabs with a table of contents. Is this ok?

Thanks!

1. I wouldn't black anything out. While I can understand your reluctance, bear in mind that the USCIS already has everything they need to utterly screw you over if they wanted to -- SSN, fingerprints, medical history, credit history etc. So worrying about them knowing bank account numbers is probably akin to worrying about catching malaria while standing in quicksand.

2. A binder organized by tabs and a TOC sounds above and beyond what is necessary. I had a letter detailing all of the contents, then made sure that all the contents were in order, and either stapled or clipped multiple pages together. I don't think I had tabs on the top (I did for my original USCIS interview in Montreal), but it can't hurt. In other words, you sound well-prepared.

Thanks for the feedback! I know the binder is probably overkill, but for our CR-1, we paid a lawyer $2,500 to basically take all of the documents I sent him and organize them in a binder with tabs, so I figured I could do it for free by myself for the I-751!

Fingers crossed!

USCIS knows more about your secrets than you know. Don't black out anything.

I used paper clips and a cover letter itemizing all. Binders with tabs will just be busted apart and thrown out. Why make is harder for them to place the documents into their folders as they want?

The lawyer and his binder had nothing to do with your CR-1 approval.
