I-751 Questions

[GuruSikh 6]

Hello,  I had a few questions. Most of them I think they are right, but just wanted to make sure they are correct.

Sorry if I am asking obvious questions, do not want to do something wrong.

 

- I am US Citizen

- My wife is conditional resident 

---------

1.) USCIS Online Account Number:  

- I am not sure if I have the  online account number. Where to find out? Leave blank or put N/A if we dont have one?

 

2.) Proof of Marriage:

- Does that need to be from marriage to current? Or the date of arrival to US to present?

 

3.) Fee: 

- According to Form, the I-751 fee is $595. Bio metric fee is $85

- Should we sent Check of $595 from our Joint Bank Account, or both 595+85 = 680?

 

4.) Affidavits from Family Friends

- When we made those affidavits, we printed 2 and made them sign/notarized both just in case we needed extra

- ok to send original or send only photo copy?

 

5.) Case Number on all documents

- When I did the CR-1 Visa Immigrant Process, I put case numbers on all the documents in case papers get misplace or lost.

- Is it ok to put case numbers on the documents or evidence?

 

6.) N/A in forms:

- I know we are suppose to put "N/A' on parts of the form that does not apply to us.

- Example: (Children Section) We can put N/A in the 1st line. Do not have to put N/A in every blank right?

 

7.)  Part 7 of I-751 Form:

- Suppose to choose option "1a" under Petitioners? We are filling out the forms together. 

- She would be the petitioner right? I would put her info.

- Acknowledgement of Appointment at USCIS Application Support Center: Her name needs to be filled out right?

 

8.) Part 8 of I-751 Form;

- Same as Part 7, but details about me right?

 

 Thank you.

anyone?

You should check the document that is on USCIS (on the same website where i-751 is) that explains what each question means and what they want. It should help with some questions.

 

2.) Proof of Marriage:

- Does that need to be from marriage to current? Or the date of arrival to US to present?

 

it depends, is she k1 or was she other visa? if k1 then from her arrival, if the other, then from the marriage.

 

3.) Fee: 

- According to Form, the I-751 fee is $595. Bio metric fee is $85

- Should we sent Check of $595 from our Joint Bank Account, or both 595+85 = 680?

 

you send 680

I did print the instructions for I-751 Form, but some explanations were not very clear or confusing. Some parts of the form are not in the instructions.

 

2.) Thanks, she came on marriage base (CR-1)

 

3.) Awesome, thanks!

Focus on the time since US arrival, especially for the financial mingling (which, to be honest, is the part they seem to care about the most.

Nothing will be returned, but this is the only reason you need these, so you might as well make a scan (just in case) and send the original.

You won't have a case number until you have already submitted, (there is a number generated when they get your petition and another one when you get your biometrics letter) in this petition, so there isn't a number to put on your evidence. We just have to hope for the best that they don't lose anything. Make a scan of your complete package before you send it, in case they do lose something.

The petitioner for this application is the Conditional Resident, your wife.
