A few questions filling out the I751 application

[Derek S 0]

Hi everyone, I am filing out the I751 form today and I have a few questions about. Thank you for your help! 

 

1. I don't think I have an A number or an USSIS number? If I did, where would it be? It is not mentioned on the letter I got from the government and I did not fill in an A number when I first applied for residency. 

 

2. It asks a quesion on only places I have resided since residency. Should I include 3-4 week visits to Colorado and should I include a 5 month trip to India here, since I was not reading anywhere for a long period of time but constantly travelling? 

 

3. For the acknowledgement of appointment question for both my spouse and I on part 8 of the application, do I print my name for the first part "I DEREK S.." or do I sign this part too? I'm pretty sure i print not but wanted to make sure. 

 

4. Finally, we don't have too much supporting evidence and since we moved to a new address had an internet bill sent but the internet company did not spell our names quite right and put the same surname for us even though they are different. We don't have time to wait for a new bill to arrive so I think I will include it and mention the company made a mistake, it still has both of our first names correct etc so I'm guessing it's better than nothing? 

 

Thank you!

Your A# is the 9 digit number on your GC, to the right of the photo below your name.

Generally speaking, if it is somewhere you switched your license to, then yes. Otherwise no.

You can't provide what you don't have.

One error on a bill does not invalidate every other bit of evidence you have.

 

If they want more they will RFE you (and I am sure that you will have corrected the error on subsequent bills by then), or schedule you for interview, or both.

I agree with mindthegap for 1-3.  As to item 4, you might consider doing wills and living wills to help your case.  You can do simple ones pretty quickly online.

 

Good Luck!

What financial co mingled evidence do you have ? Joint bank accounts with statements since marriage are very important.
You will need quite a bit for ROC, here is a list you can see what you may already have and what you should add:

Thanks everyone, 

The Gscis OS the nr on the PR card which I found and will add. What about  the A number? I don't think I have one. 

 

Just to be totally clear, I should not write that I was resided in any other place unless I had a license changed to there? I spent 5 months traveling and on two separate occasions spent 2 months in Colorado. 

 

I will include both living wills, thanks for that! We had one included already.

 

Do I need two separate cheques for the payment for processing and fingerprints or is one fine? I assume it's okay to send a cheque from a friend as I don't have American cheques. 

 

Thank you!

The A- number is labeled as USCIS # on your green card. It is a 9-digit number in the 000-000-000 format. It is right above the Country of Birth field.

 

Total up the $595 fee plus $85 biometrics fee and write ONE single check for it. Make sure you write Department of Homeland Security and DO NOT abbreviate it (e.g.: DHS, USCIS, is a no-no).

Thank you everyone, your advice is appreciated. 

 

I was considering applying for the fee waiver for the application. Myself nor my wife have had very much income the past two years and could submit the tax returns as evidence. I am not on any social programs etc.

 

That being said, if it's complicated or lead to future complications , I can pay for it, I'd just like to hear some opinions on it. 

 

Thank you,
