Hello all!

 

I have a URGENT QUESTION :

 

Did you all send proof of bona fide marriage from the beginning of your marriage ( all joint bills, bank statements, pictures ,etc) with your I-751 , or did you send only new evidence, that which happened after the first interview for a temporary GC?

We send documents from the beginning of marriage to present, as stated in the I-751 Filing Instructions (see below).

If you don't send documents covering the duration of marriage, you are likely to get an RFE.

In addition to all newer lease, insurance, medical, dental and kids school related registtration/all meetings, and credit cards, bank etc, we sent marriage venue with pics, a child's baptism, new things done in around NYC from first few months here first, date nights, statue of liberty, harbor cruise, a couple plays, new cell phone purchase.. Things like that

We sent everything from the date of marriage.

Oh, wow! Thank you so much !!! I guess I need to add more stuff. My I-751 form with a divorce waiver was returned ( I sent it after the divorce, and immigr.wants me to send it in 90 days period time). However, each page of my documents has different numbers on the bottom of each page. Can I just add new evidence of the marriage ???? I understood they have my case already scanned .

[bigjailerman 318]

But we definitely DID NOT send all documents, all bank statements, bills etc.. Just a good taste of all.. We wanted to show an overall picture, not every tiny detail every month unless they ask for it

Your welcome! I believe that the lockbox made a mistake in returning your I-751 package when you filed after divorce and asking you to file it in the 90-day window. You definitely qualify to file now if your divorce is finalized.

 

When you send I-751 package again (within the 90-day window), my suggestion would be to treat it as a new filing and include all the evidence. I do not believe that USCIS scans & stores the supporting evidence for I-751 petitions. They probably scan & electronically process the I-751 form itself but the supporting evidence is stored & maintained in paper format as part of your Alien file.

 

Here is my previous post with a detailed list of what we included in our joint I-751 package:

 

 

Good luck!

Thanks a lot, kind soul )  You did a great job with your case! Did you sent photocopy of all pictures?? 

My paralegal told me to not put in my cover letter all this description of exhibit 1 , exhibit 2 and etc like you did. Very strange.

We color printed collages of pictures (~9 photos per page) on regular printer page. We organized the photo collages based on event, occasion or place; added the description & month/year on the bottom of the page and the names of the people in the photos. We store & share all our family photos via Google photos and it's really easily easy to create photo collages there. Then we added the text description using Microsoft Publisher (you can also use Word/Powerpoint)

 

Yes, your paralegal is right. Sorry for not making this clear in my previous post. The cover letter on top of the package was 1 page and & concise. We included the Index of Exhibits (with the descriptions of each exhibit) separately after the Form I-751 and just before all the supporting documents.
