My List to Submit for ROC

[lbounds 16]

I'm about to submit for my ROC using the list I have below. I see people are getting RFE's more at the ROC stage than I remember at the K1 stage.

Can any of you confirm that I have enough evidence to submit to avoid RFE ? Any suggestions on anything I need to add or change ?

Thanks very much for any helpful feedback for us.

I am about to do the same thing as you and have only 1/2 or maybe only 1/3 of what you have. I think your good to go.

This looks like a great list.

Do you have any more bank statements than just the previous year? I believe they like to see statements for the duration of marriage?

I only mention, because I got an RFE based partly on the lack of bank account evidence.

Did you decide to notarize your family letters? I'm considering having friends and family write letters as supporting evidence, but don't know if they need to be notarized or not.

Good Luck!

thanks for the replies.

The extra Bank statements is a good idea. I thought I didn't have any more but I have about the whole year of 2011 also I could add. I don't have any saved from 2010. I read what others have said about bank statements that the first page is not enough and they want to see transaction history so I will be including almost all pages from the statements. That's the best I can do besides requesting the bank send me statements from 2010.

I did not have the family letters notarized. I read somewhere that notarization really wasn't needed probably on a thread here somewhere.

I do all my banking online, so didn't have any statements at all. Just 2 days ago I went into the bank with my I-751 instructions and said I needed statements from January 2010 onwards or I'll be deported (that's a joke, but I did explain my situation very politely). The bank teller was happy to print out full statements for every 3 months while I waited! It was quick and I didn't waste any ink at home!! Worth a try if you have a bank close by.

Good luck, and thanks for the response about the notarization
