So my wife is petitioner ? thanks that helps.

 

Also do I need to send my wifes finger prints or the gov makes appointments for it ?

No there will be a biometrics appointment that she will be scheduled for.  They will do her fingerprints and take her picture for the new greencard and to affirm her identity.

ROC is arguably the most evidence-intensive part of all of benefits we file for. You need to send every joint account, policy, membership, anything at all with both your names on showing you both lead your lives and co-mingle finances together to USCIS with your I-751 and check (make sure you put the correct amount). You can send photocopies of the evidence and take the originals to the interview (if you get one - a lot of people have this waived).

 

That being said, if you don't have something because it's inconvenient to you, you don't have to do it just for USCIS. For example joint health insurance can be more expensive than having individual plans via your employer, or you/your spouse could have terrible credit meaning you don't have joint credit cards. Send what you have. Look around on Visa Journey for examples of what to send in and what to write on the cover letter if you don't have something. I wrote that we don't have joint utilities because they wouldn't add me, but we do pay for them through our joint bank account.

 

If she came in on a K-1, they will want to see documents spanning your entire marriage. If she came in on a CR-1, they want to see the same, but given that the first year or so of marriage is spent in two different countries... you can explain that in the letter if that applies to you.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered

October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

My wife does not work, so we do not have any joint account or credit cards, but we have other stuff like insurance etc. I am going to submit what I have.

this has to be one of the most annoying ridiculous parts of this form - in normal english, the petitioner is the American Husband and the Spouse is the filipina wife. But they have to confuse the hell out everyone. And even in Part 8 the english points to the filipina wife, but apparently they are talking about the American Husband... " I, .. understand that the purpose of a USCIS ASC appointment is for ME to provide my fingerprints, photograph, and/or signature and to re-affirm that all of the information in MY petition is complete, true, and correct and was provided by me."  - this statement is so confusing because they automatically put the Husband's name in there.. But it appears they are talking about the wife.. very bizarre and whoever writes these forms should be fired.

No.  For the i-751 the conditional resident is petitioning for the removal of conditions on their green card.

 

For ROC the petitioner is the LPR and the USC is the spouse.
