I-751 Evidence and general package

[Goldfinger 4]

Hey there, all. I'm gearing up to send my I-751 package soon, and I wanted to run my package by you to see if it's sufficient, and to see if I'm missing anything potentially. Here's what i have (I'm the immigrant, my wife is American) -

- Deed to our house, showing our joint ownership of it, as granted by my mother. She purchased the house and is helping us finance it / financing it for us.

- Online Tax Receipt showing payment of our house taxes and listing us as joint owners.

- A print off of our Car Insurance policies, covering two vehicles, for which we are listed as drivers on both.

- A letter from my vision insurance provider showing my wife as a dependent / member of my plan

- A letter from my health insurance provider showing my plan, and my wife listed as a dependent.

- A signed and dated letter from my bank's branch manager showing that my wife and I have established joint checking and savings accounts. We each have a checking and saving account, totaling four accounts, and the accounts are two years old. The paper is watermarked and has the bank's logo on it.

- We have a copy/transcript of our 2015 Tax Return showing her as the primary filer and me as the spouse.

- Several pictures from a reception that we had in Canada to honor our wedding.

I have a few questions here -

1. Do I need to include any written table of contents or explanation regarding this material? If so, what type of format should I use?

2. Should this be sufficient? My wife and I live together, but my name is on the bills, aside from the gas bill. I could have her name put on the bills, but I don't really want to waste time in sending this off. The only other step I feel I could take would be to have her name placed on my car's ownership deed, but once again, that would eat up some time.

EDIT - Should I go to the length of printing off my bank statements? I plan on printing one off for each account for the most current month, but printing off multiple months just seems like a waste of paper.

Aside from that, my understanding is that I send the form, and a photocopy of my green card, and my payment method. Is there anything special about mailing the packet? Obviously I'd like to send it in some expedited fashion.

Let me know. Thanks all!

Yes print off all statements, not just samples. It is a lot of paper but they seem to want quality and quantity. Send all statements including transactions pages going all the way back to your marriage or as far back as when the accounts were put in both names.

My husband and I recently finished his ROC and we got an RFE for not submitting enough proof of financial commingling. We had sent summary pages of statements and samples of transaction pages. This wasn't enough so we ended up sending about 350 pages worth of statements from checking, savings, and credit cards. A month after submitting these the conditions were removed.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

It helps incredibly. God, I had forgotten how soul-crushingly tedious, sad, and stressful it was to interact with immigration processes.

Also, I know that the general rule of these forms is to fill out N/A whenever something is not applicable, but that doesn't seem to fit into the formatting and framework of the I-751. Should I make sure that every single field is filled out with at least an N/A, or do I just need to fill out the fields that apply to me?

For example - it seems strange to put N/A into each field asking about what children I may or may not have (My wife and I have no children.)

Thanks again!
