Dear VJers, 

 

I was wondering how you guys prepared your documents to send out.

 

Did you guys use acco fasteners with folders?  Or did you just put everything Inn big folder?

 

In regards to photos, I've read some users printed directly on regular 8x11 paper,  or do you guys recommend printing on photo paper.   I'm hoping to print on regular paper so that I can comment location and date. 

 

Did you guys put the green card number on every page?  So that if it gets lost or misplaced they can find it?  Did you also include page number?  E.g,  A-number page 3/208 etc

 

Thank you in advance

Fasteners:  I didn't.  No requirement to acco fasten the pages.  Plus if you do it wrong they have to put more holes in your papers.  Best bet: don't.  No folders or anything.. just in the overnight letter in the order as on the cover sheet.

 

Photos:  Plain paper.  Photos are supporting evidence and not that critical at this stage.  

 

A number:  No.  All the documents you submit will already have your name on them, right?   If they 'lose' them then the are gone and the will RFE you for another one.  The I-751 simply says 'provide a copy'.  

 

'Helping' USCIS out does not gain you brownie points.  And the more things you 'do' the more chance of screwing it up... like if you transpose a number when you write the A# on a page...

 

Simple is better.

I used a binder clip for the whole package and used Postit tabs to separate the sections.  I did put the A Number and page numbers for each page as well.  I pasted photos on PowerPoint slides and printed them out.

I divided everything into plastic pockets and put post-it notes on the first piece of paper inside indicating what was in the packet. Not mandatory but just my preference. They probably emptied the lot out and put them in whatever order they wanted.

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
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
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.

Please check the sequence after receiving CR1 for 2 years : 
 
1: File AR11 (If address change by petitioner)
2: File I-865 (If address change by Sponsor)
3: File I-751 (90 days before GC expire).

We just want to know apart from above three sequence, is there any other form we are missing ?
