Question about evidence

[sunlight999 3]

My wife and I opened joint checking and savings accounts after our marriage, and we sent in the bank statements of the first few months with the I-485. My question is can I only include statements that began after my wife got her conditional greencard with the I-751? Thanks!

We sent everything since the beginning of our marriage even before I got my conditional GC, just to be safe

that's what you ARE supposed to do when applying for I-751. It says it very clear on the "instructions"...

Actually, that's not a true statement. It says on the Form I-751 instructions on page 2, paragraph 'Evidence of the Relationship": "Submit copies of as many documents as you wish to establish this fact and to demonstrate the circumstances of the relationship from the date of the marriage to the present date".

If my wife's name as a joint owner is too small on the statement and it's not near my name, should I circle her name so the USCIS knows where to find it?

I highlighted our names any time they were not near or clearly visible at first glance.

Good idea, I will do that to avoid any confusion.

I highlighted all the pertinent infotmation on all of the copies of everything I sent. Just in case.

I also sent only the info for about last 2 years. Burden of proof is on USCIS, not the people who apply. If they send an RFE - that's just how it's going to be.

Honestly, for ROC I sent pretty much just the financial side of our relationship. Everything we have is in both of our names.

All in all - you should be fine.

Send detailed statements spanning the past 2 years of permanent residence. Have 1 statement for every quarter, total of 4 bank statements for each year. Highlighting and circling are always useful for any kind of documentation you send in.
