i-751 October 2020 filers

[SKB2017 95]

Just send out my package yesterday by FedEx. 

[TransplantUSA 167]

Hey everyone,

Been getting my package ready for about a month now and I am getting confused with when I need to submit evidence from. It looks like I was stupid and didn't scan a copy of any AOS evidence that I may have sent.

 

So my question is, should I submit all evidence from when I arrived in the US (May 2018) OR should I do it from the date that I submitted my AOS package (June 2018) OR from when I had my Green Card interview (January 2019) - I want to ensure continuity but I actually cannot remember what evidence I sent

 

Thanks!

Another one here getting ready to send things out. I'm right now planning to print everything tomorrow, get it ready and then in mail on Friday. 

 

What I have so far:

- jointly done 2018 and 2019 federal and state tax returns

- W2 from 2018 and 2019

- one of our lease's front page showing our names and signatures

- mail for our PO box for us separetly but same address

- flights we've taken together

- photos of us together (starting from 2018 July, got my green card 2018 November), 6 pages

- husband's (USC) 401k showing me as beneficiary

- insurance card with both of our names

- bank information (will add that tomorrow)

 

I hope its going to be enough! I'm already so stressed out

Do we have a Google docs for Oct 2020 to keep track of the timeline? I like how Sept 2020 thread has one

That seems reasonable to me. I'm just reminded of back in the old I-129 days when people were sending these huge packets of ####### that served to simply slow down the process. I'm going with a bank statement from every few months along the way (why would the need every month) same with different bills showing the same address. My daughter on her insurance. Some car insurance documents, taxes, and that is about it.

I am doing something similar - I have a breadth of documents rather than a depth of documents.  I am using a sample of bank statements rather than all of them - but also including samples of loans, store accounts, health insurance, photos, travel tickets etc... (and tax returns)  Probably fewer than 60 pages in total

 

I think it is important for each person to submit whatever they feel comfortable with.  The last time around I got an RFE because the form had been updated between filling it in and submitting it and I had to start all over again.

I would like to do this - I had been thinking of contacting the September folks and asking them if they can help with a format and instructions?  Anyone else interested in this?  If so I will set it up - unless anyone else would like to do it?

I am pretty sure any of these will be fine.  Some sections of my pack include evidence from around the time I submitted my AOS, and some don't start until after my interview (about 16 months later!).  I think if you have anything that can be considered supporting evidence form the time of your last application to now, it will be helpful.  I don't however, think that anyone has had an application turned down on the basis that they didn't submit documentation from an early enough point. At my AOS interview, the officer said she didn't need to see any of the additional photos I brought with me because she had already seen enough in my application (despite the fact there had been a VERY long gap between the two).

 

I am including photos and documents mostly from the post-interview stage.  Seeing as I have gained weight and lost weight and gained weight and my husband has been with-beard, without beard, with beard, without beard... it should be pretty evident that they are taken over a span of time - but I have included a list of dates and locations of the photos.

If you read back a page in here you'll see that the fee increase was suspended so currently the 585 + 85 is the correct fee.  Just make sure to check the USCIS website on the day that you mail your packet to make sure there are no further changes.  And do the same thing with the form as that could change too.

2 years ago today we mailed off our AOS application, now we are about 5 days from ROC. Anyone have any idea about how long it is taken to get an initial acceptance from USCIS.

If you browse the September filers forum you'll see they have a spreadsheet with their process dates on it - that should give you an idea of how long it is from application to letter.

Hi, I sent my packet on October 4th, and they received it on the 5th, but I included the new dee of $760. 
 

my question, where did it say that the fee has been suspended? Now I am nervous if they are going to resend back my packet or I do not know what to do... 🥺

Did you send a check or a credit card form?

 

If it was a check they will either

a)send it back or

b) cash it

 

If you go back a couple of pages on here there are several links and posts about the fees not changing.

and I meant to say - do let us know what happens - it might be helpful for someone else who does the same thing.   I would hope that if you sent a credit card form, they might just charge the correct amount. Fingers crossed!
