[Frassman 0]

Greetings All

 

Need to get some advised on a few things regarding the Checklist for the I751 Removal requirements. See below:

 

I live in a Family  house from Jan 2016 in a basement unit. My Wife and I pay money to my family monthly which covers rent/utilities (including Internet, Light and Gas), so no lease.

1. What kind of document can be submitted and if any, what would the exact verbiage be?

2. Should I include any Letter of Support/Affidavit from Friends/Family and from how many people?

3. Should I List all Items in appendix or itemize in group Year by Year since we married?

Enclosed also please find the following documents to verify the status of our marriage and ongoing relationship:

•  Copies of Permanent Resident card (front & back).

• Copies of our government issued ID (State and Driver’s License)

• Copy of our joint Bank statements (checking and saving accounts at TD Bank)

• Copy of our 2017 joint US tax return.

• Copy of our joint car insurance policy from Geico.

• Copy of our Marriage Certificate.

• Copies of our son's Birth and Christening certifications.

• Copy of our health insurance cards showing a joint policy.

• Copy of our BJ’s Club cards on a joint account.

• Copies of our airline and accommodations reservations of vacations/trips taken 2015-2018.

• Three sworn letters of support by U.S. citizen friends, attesting to our relationship and marriage.

• Photos of us and various family members and friends.

Awaiting your responses. I want to submit this asap.

Hi there. I'm not an expert but I think things look good. Regarding your living situation, I would write a letter explaining the situation and ensure you get it notarized and have the family sign it as well. Note how much is being paid and how long this engagement has been going on, and that it is current. 

 

For our application, we included 2 letter of affidavits and had them notarized. I don't think that a specific order is required with your documents, but I labeled ours with sticky notes and just did it in the order listed on the instructions. 

 

I think the biggest thing is to make sure you have as many bank statements as possible (from marriage/opening to present) -same with the car insurance policy and health insurance cards. I had my HR person write a letter indicating that my husband has been on my plan since the day we were married, probably not necessary but we don't have joint checkings (only savings) so were trying to be thorough. I think everything looks good. Do you have 2016 / 2015 tax returns to share as well? We included the tax returns from every single year we filed jointly together.

You want this to span both years since marriage so since you're ROCing soon, you'll want proof from 2016, 2017, and early 2018. So you want joint tax returns from 2016 AND 2017. You'll want bank statements ranging from 2016 to 2018, so like a bank statement from every three or four months.

Note your family can write up a lease agreement, but it may look odd if they write it specifically for this.
