[Sukie 1,459]

An announcement from USCIS:

This morning, USCIS published an update to Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. The new edition is dated 11/23/15.

Starting 02/29/16, USCIS will accept only the 11/23/15 edition. USCIS will not accept editions dated 04/13/13 or earlier after that date. The edition date can be found at the bottom of every page on the form and instructions.

For more information, please visit our website.

IF YOU ARE FILING AFTER 29 February 2016, you MUST use the new form!

All the questions are basically the same except for a new biographical information section (ethnicity, height, weight, eye color, etc).

And the question about the ELIS#

[rjgacek 6]

I will file around 2/17/2016, can I still use the new version I-751, or do I still have to use the older version???????

To all:

You can use the new form NOW. Just don't use the old form after the end of February 2016....

Ha, would always download the latest forms regardless of the forms, also had to invest in Adobe Arcobat Pro, until more recently couldn't even save your forms with that free reader. Also would let you insert those long Spanish names to automatic size to fit the fields, other wise would have to use a separate sheet of paper.

Then having a good 600 DPI laser printer, often made the comment, would be dead without a good computer, can't even do your taxes anymore without a good computer plus have to be on a high speed internet or else you will be cut off.

Another option is to have a good scanner, everything that came in from the USCIS was scanned, plus all the evidence.

Never a good idea to store all this stuff on one computer in Drive C, if you get a virus would lose everything, actually have three computers on a LAN, with all our immigration files in one directory on all the computers and even back them up on a DVD. Use compression, see that directory is already 233 MB long. Sub directories are under the name of the forms.

USCIS tends to "misplace" files, just have to print everything out, think of all the work you would have to go through again if they "misplace" your files.

I'm assuming we are going to see a lot of forms updated to include information about race and physical descriptions in response to the increased concerns of late.
