It's supposed to come automatically as far as I know.

Yes automatically.  Although if it's more than 30 days, you might have to file a request for non-delivery.

I think I answered my own quesiton by looking at the I-751 where it says to submit unaltered, original documents.  Thanks though.

Just to clarify, you should attach photocopies, not original documents...certainly not if you want them back.

Save the originals in case of an interview.

So my husband and I decided to hire someone to prepare our I 751...which turned out to be a big mistake. The lady helped us prepare the documents however she put the wrong USCIS address on the USPS package. Luckily I was able to catch it in time and I ended up going to USPS and changing the address however, last night I realized that she also put the wrong address for the US Department of Homeland security. My question is whether or not it matters if the wrong address was on the money order?

I-751 was sent out last Tuesday via FedEx, received on Thursday & signed for. I added the I-1145 and G-1450 (credit card), I'm hoping that they can actually find the G-1450 behind the cover letter 🤣 No acceptance text just yet. 

 

Now the waiting begins... :)

It says on the USCIS website to "Write the form you are filing and your A-Number or other applicable identification on the check or money order". Where did you put your A-number on the check? I put "I-751 fee + biometrics fee" on the "For" line and my A-number under the line, but it looks a little cluttered...

I'm sure you could of you want to, they likely won't mind it if you cross out sensitive information (I think I have even read it on USCIS website somewhere that you can do it). I won't mess with the account number as it's just way too many pages to even bother, but obviously won't give the routing number or anything.

Great to see you again Scandi!  When did you submit your paperwork?

Yes automatically.  Although if it's more than 30 days, you might have to file a request for non-delivery.

Just to clarify, you should attach photocopies, not original documents...certainly not if you want them back.

Save the originals in case of an interview.

I absolutely agree.  All of my evidence is photocopied, except for the Affidavits, which are origianl documents.  For my affidavits, I had each person get the same document notarized twice.  That way I would have an original at the interview if needed.
