ROC Checklist

[Ash.1101 1,756]

Been a while since I've posted, and I know I have a couple of months before sending off my husbands ROC, but I want to make sure that I have everything now since as far as I can tell, there won't be any new info to add to the bundle. Just want to get a judgement on how strong it is.

 

PAYMENT

COVERPAGE

I-751
GREEN CARD COPY, FRONT AND BACK

 

EVIDENCE:
Joint Car loan for 2016 Nissan Rogue in both our names

Document showing we are each others  beneficiaries for our own 401Ks and stock plans

Documents showing we are each others beneficiary to life insurance plans

2016 and 2017 tax returns filled jointly

Cable bill in his name to our home address

Electric bill in my name to our home address

Paystubs showing same home address

Apartment lease in both of our names

School registration showing that he is an emergency contact for my daughter

Car insurance in both of our names

Joint bank account where all of the money goes in both of our names

Christmas cards addressed to us

Pictures of us on vacation, out with my daughter, family gatherings etc.

Hotel bill from vacation

Also, one thing I never did was change my last name. I haven't done it yet as my daughter has the same last name as me and is disabled, and with the amount of doctors we go to and such I didn't want there to be any confusion as to who I am to her. Will this be a problem, or should I write a little statement in there explaining why I never changed my last name.

 

Lastly, is there no financial proof form of any kind like with the I-864? We used my mother as a joint-sponsor for AOS, but now we make more than enough on our own. Wasn't sure if we needed to show that, or if they don't care, or if just sending the joint tax returns as proof were enough.

 

 

Thanks!

Honestly speaking, You have enough evidence. Good luck.

Yes, it looks good - make sure that you include several bank statements, from various points in the last 2 years... most people say that about 1 every 3 months of marriage is good, for each account/credit card.

Other than that, you have lots of evidence... and lots of people don't change their name after marriage, so I can't imagine it would be a big deal!

Awesome, we can do that. I had him added onto the bank account before we got married, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Edit: Alright! Already downloaded our bank statements from Jan 2016 when I added him on. We were married Feb 2016, and I have every month up until right now. I'll just print off every three.

And thanks, I was really worried about the name change.

The I-864 was important for the AOS. Your co-sponsor agreed to be financially responsible until your spouse 1) works 40 quarters in the US, 2) becomes a US Citizen, 3) Leaves the US permanently. It (nor your salaries) is no longer an issue. Your list looks good, but consider adding wills and medical power of attorney (which are even more important in life! What about 401K/Annuity and/or life insurance policies?

 

Good luck!

Alrighty, that's good about the I-864.

And I'll have to look into doing a will, I don't think my husband and I have thought of anything like that since we're 25 and 32. I can do a medical power of attorney.

And yeah, I had in the list, we're each others beneficiaries to our 401ks, life insurance policies AND stock plans.

Sorry! Trying to read too many posts before coffee! The 401K, Life insurance and stock evidence is really good. Wills are good even though you are young...good to have things in place. Good luck!
