Do not mail the affidavits alone, collect them and include them in your i751 package, if they are mailed to USCIS directly they will not make it into your file at USCIS (retain copies).  Affidavits we use in our application we used the same mailing address we sent the i751 to (but we never mailed them themself). 

 

Yes include previous joint account statements, car insurance together, health insurance coverage, our 401ks beneficiary, and bank account beneficiaries… yes to all of those along with W2s, 1099, even letters mailed to you and your spouse over the course of your marriage.

 

Look over the information at the sites below for information about writing an affidavit.

Be sure to write a cover letter that summarizes the evidence you have included in your i751 package and explains your living arrangement with your family.

 

@HRQX is correct, you would only get a i551 stamp if you really needed it due to a gap proof of your LPR status. If you apply soon you should be good. USCIS will only issue a stamp only if you really need one and can prove you need the stamp.

Thanks again. Do you prefer ups or fedex?

Also, do you think that the affidavit of support from friends and family should be notarized?

I prefer UPS myself two-day shipping, get a tracking number and a signature on delivery.

 

Notarized signatures are not required but are not a bad idea. I had affidavits that were notarized and not notarized in our i751 application. It is not hard to get something notarized but don’t delay your application much waiting for a notary. 

Signatures are a must.

 

Remember affidavits are weak evidence but are much better than nothing and can be use to tell USCIS your story of your living arrangement with your family

I did get it notarized. So our tax preparer e-filed the tax returns. He gave me 17 pages of a document 1040. Is this the receipt? He told my father in law that this is the receipt

You should be able to get IRS tax transcripts from the IRS webpage for each year you have filed joint tax returns. Download the transcripts and include them in your package. You can send along the tax forms as well.

 

Include your W2 and 1099 from you and your spouse during the marriage (they have both income and common address).

 

Any official mail addressed to you and your spouse at your home address.

We filed yesterday. It takes three weeks to get the transcript. I have 2019s transcript tho

I would not wait much longer to file the i751 (to reduce the chances of a gap in proof of LPR status) so you will get your receipt notice before your CGC expires, just include a copy of your 2020 tax returns the whole thing.

 

Remember you will get credit with USCIS on the date the i751 was received with regards to filing a i751 in a timely manner. That is assuming the i751 is accepted (correct form used, correct fee enclosed, i751 is signed correctly, not filed too early…)

 

Expect the USCIS lockbox in Phoenix to take 3 to 6 weeks just to open your application and your receipt notice to take 4 to 8 weeks to arrive. You will know your i751 was accepted when they cash your check. 

 

Best to have proof that you sent the i751 application to the lockbox and the date it arrived just in case you need to get a stamp in your passport during any possible gap in LPR proof, you are unlikely to need a stamp though (take a photo of your i751 package with shipping label).

 

Good luck.
