Applying for Removal of Conditions/ I-751

[jerseygirl2010 0]

Hello VJ Members!

 

My husband is preparing for Removal of Conditions on his Green Card soon.  (started from K-1 Petition )

 

Any tips and guides? 

 

What are the evidences that are considered MAJOR ? so that I can gather all those as early as now.....

 

I already printed the FORM i-751 and the guidelines under uscis.gov.

 

Thank you in advance! Knowledge and preparedness is always a key for a smooth application. =)

Things we included:

Tax receipts

Joint checking and savings accounts

Titles for cars with both names on them

Retirement account information with our names on each other's account

Electric bill with both names

Credit card statements with both names

Cell phone bills with both names

Affidavits of support from mutual friends

Letters/cards from friends sent to our address with both names on it

Continued to send hotel stays, boarding passes, vacation itineraries

Bills from contractors who remodeled our kitchen with both our names on it

 

I'm sure some of our stuff was overkill, but we didn't want to receive a denial.  We were approved without any issues.

Those mentioned above are very good. assuming that you own your house, it would also help if you have a house deed/title with both names or mortgage with both names, if you’re renting a lease would help.

In addition to all of the above (except kitchen remodeling), we included:

 

Deed to our home with both names on it (no mortgage)

Last will & testament for each of us

Medical power of attorney for each of us

Homeowners, auto, and liability insurance policies with both names on them

Copies of auto insurance cards for both cars

Copies of drivers' licenses

A couple of explanation of benefits for doctors' visits and blood work

 

We also opted for overkill rather than risking an RFE or denial.

 

Good luck!!

Yes, I forgot that we had some of those too (auto insurance cards, drivers' licenses, dental records/visits with both names listed).  I have owned our home since 2000 (he arrived 2014), and we have not added him yet.  It wasn't a problem though.  We did worry it would be, but I think they could tell from our other documentation that we are a legitimate couple.  Great additions on the will & testament and medical power of attorney.  

 

While our documentation was important (and probably minimized the need for more questions), our interview probably gave a more complete picture of our story.  When she asked what we did together, we mentioned the mundane things we did...shopping at Sams, eating at Chick-fil-A, watching movies at home.  I'm sure the officer could relate as she even mentioned those are some things she and her husband do together.  It just made us more relate-able and real.
