Hi everyone. I have some questions regarding I-751 filling. My conditional GC will expire on may 28th 2013 and I know they talk about applying within 90 days.

Q1. How soon should I mail my packet? Do I need to send it like really close to feb 28th (90 days) or can I take a little more time?

Q2. Looking at other threads, it seems like they issue you biometrics appointment close to 1 month from the day they receive the packet. I have a conference to attend in the mid of April so in case if I miss my biometrics, can I reschedule it or just show up early? Will this have any major impact on my application?

Q3. I know what to send as evidence of bonafide marriage, do I need to include pics? I have joint bank account, credit cards, mortgage, baby who was born 6 months ago, insurance, my spouse and the baby are also my beneficiaries. Phone bill, car etc. do you guys think pics becomes important in this case? Also, do I need to send

all these docs for the past 2 years ( or copies of last 6-12 month will suffice)

Most Important question:

ICE had filed deportation because my student visa was expired for like 5 months and we were gathering docs to file for AOS. I was called to their office and they had put handcuffs on me. I was there for like 3 hours and in the end, they let me go not before putting me in removal conditions( before my visit to their office, I had already sent my AOS packet like 4 days prior). Anyhow, after the torturous time and wait, I was issued GC thru USCIS and they dropped the removal charges.

My question is, in the form, it ask for " have you ever been arrested ....." And I will put yes. I will write an explanation for it but SHOULD I also send the Removal documents with the application, even though the charges were dropped before I received my GC.

I understand these might be a lot of questions for you guys but please try to answer them as many as possible. Regarding the last question, can anybody relate to my story or if you know somebody who have through the same situation. It's a little tricky but if I had the finances, I would've hired a lawyer. Last experience was horrible with the lawyer.

Thanking in advance!

I am only answering your question of photos: Quoted from another forum an immigration official stated, "Photos are good, kind of expected, but NOT primary evidence." I would include photos and cards and letters if I were you, even though your primary evidence looks better than ours. Pictures with family are good to and you can easily copy pictures from Facebook and emails if you do not have any of your own. Just arrange them on a page and print them 6 to 9 to a page.
