now expired greencard issue is defined

 

what guide on this forum people are using to put together their 751 package ?

I didn't use a guide, I just checked what other people on the forum has sent to get tips on what I could send for proof. 

 

ROC is basically only the payment, copy of greencard (back and front), the i-765 form and a ton of proof. So no guide needed I guess. And don't forget the tax return transcripts.

We followed the guide VJ. It includes a sample cover letter which we tweaked. Also, don’t worry that the address locations on there are a bit outdated.

My bad, the form is obviously i-751, not i-765. 🙄

IRS transcripts aren't a "required" document.   It is listed as one example of documents you *could* use but it's not required.   From the I-751 Instructions Notice:

 

"Evidence of the Relationship Submit copies of documents indicating that the marriage upon which you were granted conditional status was entered in “good faith” and was not for the purpose of circumventing immigration laws. Submit copies of as many documents as you can to establish this fact, to demonstrate the circumstances of the relationship from the date of the marriage to the present date, and to demonstrate any circumstances surrounding the end of the relationship, if it has ended. The documents should include, but are not limited to, the following examples:"  

 

"3. Financial records showing joint ownership of assets and joint responsibility for liabilities, such as joint savings and checking accounts with transaction history, complete joint Federal and State tax returns, insurance policies that show the other spouse as the beneficiary, joint utility bills, or joint installment or other loans. If applicable, submit copies of military Leave and Earnings Statements showing receipt of Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAQ) with family members and/or Form DD-1172 for military family member identification cards;"

 

These are all examples of what can be sent.  Never does it say "The documents MUST be included.."     Just clarifying so someone reading your suggestion doesn't get the impression it's a required document.

That's one of the main evidences you can send. Forget about photos, affidavits from friends and other secondary stuff - it's the financial co-mingling that is what USCIS want to see, and the tax returns are a big part of that. And most all of us file taxes, so that's an easy proof, don't forget to send it with the package.

It seems like you progress is one day ahead of mine. My check just cleared today as well after I got the text yesterday! My package was also received one day after yours.

I sent my papers last Friday, delivered on Tuesday to the post office box in Dallas, TX. It says "Available for pick up", no change since Tuesday. I hope it is just USPS not updating the status ugh.

Looking forward to updating our progress here.

 

Good luck everyone.

Hey everybody, my wife and I sent out our packet on 11/6 and it was received 11/7 in Phoenix, AZ.  We have not recieved a text or NOA from them.  Anyone else waiting this long?

[Ansbekk 46]

I received the 18 months extension letter today in the mail.  They also resent the reminder letter to remove the conditions that was send to my old address.  I guess it was returned to them, but they sent it anyways along with the 18 months extension letter.  Strange!!

[DandTO16 39]

Received NOA1 today. SRC (Texas service center)
