Just curious - I've just about finished my application and mine is about an inch thick..... I did a quick search on the forum and some of you are sending in boxes of documents that are 5-6"! HOW?! Here is what I have included:

 

- cover letter

- explanation letter saying we will be PCS'ing (military) this year so our address will change, possibly overseas

- I751 form

- check

- quarterly joint checking account statements from when we got married until now (5-10 pages each)

- quarterly joint AMEX statements from when we opened our account in early 2017 until now (5-10 pages each)

- front page of lease showing we have been living there since 2015 and just renewed

- copy of our military ID's

- copy of my green card and passport

- quarterly statements from our joint brokerage account from when we opened it in 2016 (1 page each)

- copies of envelopes address to both of us from friends and family (about 20 envelopes) from 2015 until now.

- copy of our belated wedding reception invitation in 2016

- about 20 photographs with family and friends

- 2 affidavits from friends

- copy of husbands emergency contact info listing me as the contact (US Army)

- 3 years of tax transcripts

- copies of our car insurance policy for the past 2 years

- copies of boarding passes for both of us on the same flight (we have about 4 of these)

- airbnb and hotel receipts showing both our names

- copy of current renters insurance with both of us listed (sadly I don't have the previous years)

- Copy of my business bank account with husband listed as additional user.

 

Am I missing something?! I feel like I've included SO much information :/

 

Our bills come out of our joint account but only list my husband as the payee (even though I'm on the account too) so I haven't included those.

You have a good lot of financial evidence.  Some people print out EVERY bank/credit card statement, and send actual tax returns instead of transcripts.  That really adds to the inches.

 

Don't sweat it.  Good luck!

My package was an inch or two thick at best, even with all of the bank statements printed out.

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.

You know that kid at school who just had to write a 15 page paper when the teacher asked for a 4 page one?  Those kids become adults and turn in 5 inch thick ROC packets.

 

A good concise ROC packet is worth its weight in gold.  The rest is all fluff.

3/2/18  E-filed N-400 under 5 year rule

3/26/18 Biometrics

7/2019-12/2019 (Yes, 16- 21 months) Estimated time to interview MSP office.
