Few questions about removing conditions/i-751

[jswalker86 0]

Hi everyone! Me and my wife will be mailing form i-751 on march 3rd to remove her conditional status. I just have a few questions that I hope everyone could help me with

1. On the instructions for the i-751 it says I need to mail a copy of her Permanent Resident Card or Alien Registration Card (green card). I had heard before that it should be the actual original card. So do I mail the green card or just a copy of it???

2. The $590 fee, can I just use a personal check from Wells Fargo for that?

3. Is form i-751 the only USCIS form I have to mail?

4. I am an authorized user for my wife's credit card (a credit card with the same card number with my name). On the credit card website it doesn't have a place for me to print showing that. So should we just photocopy the 2 credit cards (one with her name and the other with my name) on a paper? Is that allowed/safe?

If I think of any more questions I'll be sure to ask more, ha ha ha

Thanks for helping us!!!

Oh, another question...

Should I staple or paperclip the separate documents??

DON"T MAIL THE GREEN CARD you heard wrong, send a copy.

make a copy of your greencard. make copy of front and back of your greencard. send in the copy of greencard.

also, you can use your personal check from a united states bank.

1. PHOTOCOPY the front & back of your green card and send the copy.

2. Yes. Make certain that you spell out the payer name and don't abbreviate - "Department of Homeland Security"

3. Yes.

4. Yes.

Hi people:

I was just wondering of one thing. Many people include copies of their DL and their spouse's DL to show the same address. Is that really a strong one? I only ask because me and my husband has changed our address with DMV back in the summer before we filed for AOS, but DMV changed it electronically, not replacing our current DL since that will expire only 2015 (AND, it's the old CA version of DL, not the new one that is out for circulation). Is that okay if one does not make a copy of their DL for ROC as it says separate address and we have no access to DMV's record to show that they both have been changed to the same address. Thanks!

Joint lease copies or joint mortagage deed copy or other related joint ownship of a house is the main document. Joint Utility bill/s or utility bills in both single names with the same address are the next important one. If you have these to show that you are living together, then the Driver Licenses are just an additional evidence, which you can ignore. So it depends on what evidence you have.

Of course you should have evidence for inter-mixing of finances in addition to the above. There are some evidences that show evidence of both living together and inter-mixing of finances - for example, ownshipship of a house, joint bank accounts....

Thank you, thank you, you're the best (around). LOL You put my mind at rest. Yes, I have a ton of other #######, so I guess I'll be fine. Thanks again so much! All the best to you as well!

Let’s view the logic of which is the best evidence, “Drivers license” versus “Utility Bills.” As it pertained to my wife’s driver’s license she had to appear in person, show passport and AOS/NOA1 document! In other words, it was officially verified by our state DMV, and, the mostly likely out of the two to be verified by USCIS. As it related to are utility bills, when we purchased our new home, we just called and added both our names to the bills. So, I’ll allow you to determine which the more prominent type of evidence is. I recommend you download the I-751 instruction set and it will answer all these questions you have asked thus far.

I understand your logic but what if the immigrant spouse didn't pass the driving test, needed to get a Driver License.

It is similar to "Birth certficate of child born to the marraige" - a couple may or may not be blessed with a child during the conditional GC time - of course a child born to the marraige is a great evidence (I-751 Evidence of the relationship mentions this in first position) but lack of it not a negative evidence.

If the person did not pass a driver's test for some reason or could not drive, then they have other options. The first one for the person attempting to get a license would be to start with a drivers permit like my wife initial began. If they choose not to drive then they could get a state ID. In all cases a state DMV has to clear their credentials. In my opinion, the drivers license and/or state ID are a big plus. It will show both you having the same address, and it will have been scrutinized by a government official. Far more complex, and, harder to achieve than a utility bill.

My wife had a valid state ID the moment we filed for AOS.

It does help along the way, not just with ROC.

We went in as human beings, and they did not ask for neither passport, or any other documentations showing what status we are in currently, but just changed our address in the computer to what we said to them verbally. Again, they were not asking for my passport, social security number, what visa I am now, what visa I was 5 years ago when I renewed my driver's license, or what visa I was on 5 years ago before 5 years ago (so 10 years ago) when I first applied for DL. And I tell you, 10 years ago I was on J2, and later on H4, and then got changed that to F1, and then now to GC. So, as you see, I switched visa statuses quiet a lot. During these time frames, I changed address a couple times too. None of the cases were they asking me for my passport, or anything like that. And, they never issued a new license, they just simply changed the address in their computer. So basically it will like you calling PG&E to tell them your new adress. So, I will also allow you to determine which the more prominent type of evidence is...LOL
