I751 supporting documents

[Charming12 59]

Hy VJ Members,

Hope you guys are doing well and awesome as always in helping out community member.

 

I need VJ member support in helping out paperwork for I751. I still have four months to file for I751 but I need to prepare myself earlier so I can file on time in the 1st week of January.

 

Right now, me and my wife has following supporting documents and offcourse we will try to gather more util Jan, 2019

1. We live in rented house with both of our name on it.

2. Joint bank account , joint credit card account.

3. Joint car insurance.

4. My name in the cellphone carrier family plan.

5. We have a baby with a record from hospital including our name as parents.

6. Tons of picture together with both of our family.

7. Joint tax return 2017 but wont be able to include 2018 tax return as we will file for petition in Jan, 2019

7. Health insurance until June, 2018 but right now we dont have any health insurance because my wife finished residency and she s taking some time off to take care of our baby.I am afraid we wont have a joint medical insurance til next year. My employer health insurance is very expensive so we put our child medical insurance on medicaid (would that be problem?)

8. We will gather letters from both of our family and friends suggesting our true relationship.

9. We both have joint utility bills but unfortunately they cant put my name in utility bills (I dont know for some reason) but we paid bill from our joint bank account

 

What else do you think we should have it? Any feedback

I think your list is pretty complete. I would suggest the following:

 

1. Try gather the IRS Tax Transcripts for 2015 and 2016 as well, since you won't have 2018 to submit. You do want the official IRS Tax Transcript that can be requested in the mail from IRS website

 

2. Send in what you can regarding health insurance. Your health insurance statement and/or bills should have the common address, correct? Keep those and any bills that you pay (Rx, doctor's, dentist's, etc.) If you don't have any health insurance, then you should have an exemption letter from healthcare.gov, yes? Send those in.

Thank you for your response.

 I moved to US in Oct, 2016 and started working from May, 2017 so I wont have any Tax Transcript from 2015 and 2016. We can only provide 2017 Tax return as per now.

Yeah, we had the same address for health insurance. My son is on Medic aid and he is on the same address as well. How do I get exemption letter from healthcare.gov? never heard of it before? What made us qualify us from exemption? Also, would I be fine (in terms of immigration point of view) by having my son on medic aid?

Copies of both driver's licenses showing residence at same address.

Receipt for renter's insurance if you have it.

Copies of memberships such as AAA, Sams's club, Costco for example.

Beneficiary summaries of any 401k, or life insurance plans

Copies of boarding passes if you traveled by air together.

We do have DL with same address on it and I can certainly include that. unfortunately, we didn't sign up for 401k plan yet and also we didn't travel so much because of our commitment with professional life (barely get any vacation).

We are using BJs card and Sams Club but that has a members from my inlaws. Would that copy works without my name on it?

Unfortunately, I don't the BJs card will work for you given neither of you are the primary member.  But I think you have sufficient supporting documents on your list.

May I suggest wills and medical powers of attorney since you have a child?  It's really important to think about who might take care of your baby if something horrible should happen to both you and your spouse.

 

Otherwise, your list looks pretty good!

I think  it is with my USC wife since she is doctor as well. Thank you for feedback.

 

Would I be fine with immigration process considering my child is on medic aid? Earlier he was on our health insurance plan from my wife employer

Also , I would like to double check do I need to submit G325 A or I864 or any other form with I751 ? I Immigrated to US via K1 and I remember my lawyer did submit G325 A form together with I864 for green card.

From the Medicaid website:

 

Applying for Medicaid or CHIP does not make someone a “public charge.” – It will not affect someone's chances of becoming an LPR or US citizen. – The one exception is for individuals receiving long-term care in an institution at government expense. These people may face barriers getting a green card.

No other form needed.

You guys are been aswesome as always. Really appreciated your kind support and help.

 

I have 1 more thing to ask in filling I751 since we are filling by ourselves without any help from intrepreter and preparator so do I need leave part 9 and part 10 of I751 form as blank or just put N/A?

 

Also, I know about my A number but we dont know A number for my USC spouse? Where should we get that number? or should we just leave it blank?

Thank you

You can leave the interpreter and preparer parts blank.

 

Your USC spouse does not have an A- number so leave it blank. Your child is a USC as well so he doesn't have the A- number, either.

 

Regarding your ealier question about healthcare.gov, does only one of you have health insurance or both do? If only one of you has health insurance, when you filed your 2017 income tax, there was one question on the tax form that asked about your health care covergage in order to penalize you if either one of you (or both) did not have health insurance for the tax year (or part of the year), and if that was the case, either an exemption # from healthcare.gov or the amounts from form 1095a/1095b were required to be entered. Do you recall this part?

Your list of documents looks good, way more than we sent and we were fine, but better safe than sorry.

How many pictures are you planning on sending?  We sent four and all of them had our daughter on the pics.  

Have you tried contacting the utility companies directly?  I contacted our companies and ask them for a proof of service letter that included both our names.
