Those are all strong. Nobody has everything (well, maybe some do!) but we have a jointly owned car but a weird health insurance situation (we don't have the same policy for various reasons). They are going to look at the whole picture of evidence, so just include as much as you can to help build that.

Thank you, that makes me feel better!

Looks great! I agree on not taking the risk of paying by credit card. I'll pay by check, too.

Just a heads up, I think you accidentally left your address in the ninth point on your evidence list. Might want to remove that. :)

Thank so much. Totally missed that. Thankfully, I don't live there anymore but trying to figure out how to get it removed. It's not giving me an edit option anymore.

I'll be joining you guys shortly. My ROC window opens up on Friday but this whole package thingy is giving me a headache right now so might only be ready to send by Monday. April filer for sure though, I just want this stuff out the door. 🙄

 

I have about 95% of all documents copied, just a little photos and other "secondary" evidence left to copy. I'm sure I'll spend all Easter Sunday arranging the pile of evidence and write a cover letter. I hope it won't be too bad..

Super excited to finally be joining the April 2019 filers thread! My earliest day for submission was April 1st. Getting ready to mail off my package tomorrow (fingers crossed. I was hoping to mail it off last week but was able to get ahold of some more paperwork I wanted to over the past few days) after I double-triple-quadruple check dates/signatures/for typos/anything else tonight with the husband :)

Regretting not getting ahold of some ACCO fasteners beforehand though, as my bundle is getting pretty bulky and is currently being held together by a mix of jumbo paper clips and medium-large binder clips. Couldn't get any bottom tab dividers near me in time either so I think I'm just going to run out and get some cardstock and stick some of those sticky tabs to the bottom with each exhibit listed (frankenstein'd DIY version?)

I was thinking the same thing about just getting some stickers (tabs) to put at the bottom of the pile. I do have some, so that would be an easy fix if so.
