I-751 APRIL 2021 Filers (Removal of Conditions)

[Ycats 24]

Hello all, also an April filer, are we available to apply for citizenship online? Or do most people recommend to do it through the mail like any other application? I believe our window is opened/opening soon. And I did notice that you can apply online, but I was not sure if that was recommended or not. Thanks for the help!

I'd do it online: faster, cheaper, less stressful.

Do you have to pay the biometrics fee again? And is there a way to state that we are also waiting on the "Removal of Conditions". Thank you!

You pay for biometrics and you don't need to inform that you have a pending ROC case.

Just got the approval notice, just a couple days past 10 months after filing. Didn't have to have a 2nd interview, so pretty pleased with that. Next up: N-400!

Today is the day of our interview, super nervous, I keep feeling like I don't have everything but yet I'm bringing everything that has our name on it together with some other things that were for the house we bought in Oct that's separate. For originals, I got stuff sent to us snail mail so I wouldn't have to print them, plus there is a digital copy on the companies website's. We lost some past mail from family members and other documents during the move  His parents flew out from Russia to see us and they flew in early and helped us move. Found out his parents were throwing out papers that were to be kept. Only found this out when I saw my expired Health Insurance card (was used in the I-751) in the recycling bin a few weeks after we moved. I literally had boxes of mail or anything that had our names tied together put off to the side and physically moved them to the house myself. 

Joint: 
monthly mortgage payment bill, original
Trash bill, original
Water Bill, original 

Both bank accounts used as evidence from the I-130 petition, with statements taken from every 3 months after I-751 was sent.

Car Insurance
Home owners Insurance bill.

Heath insurance cards printed from their website. 

Health insurance tax form showing we both had the same coverage for the year 2021.
Registration for the car we have a loan for in both names. 
Supplemental tax bill for buying the house...... 
Tax transcripts since the year we got married, even when I filed separately for the 1st 2 tax years. 
Copy of current state driver's license with out the new address (they were updated on the state's website but don't send out new ones for change of address or some bs type thing)
Some mail from one family relative saying Mr and Mrs (my version of the last name)
NM tax department asking for more info and oddly using my last name even thought I wrote his version of the last name on the taxes. 

 

Separate:
Gas in my name
Electric in my name
Internet in his name
Water filtration loan in his name

 

PS After this we plan on filing for his citizenship since it opened up nearly a month ago, just had other surprised bills popping up.

Hey, LIN here as well. My window opens on April 12, applying on the 15th. Not sure if I want the RoC resolved before then as many say that N400 could push RoC with both being resolved within a few months of filing N400. REALLY hoping that's what happens... beggar being a chooser here lol.

 

Good luck to you too!

We got to the interview location in LA, the guy that checked us in was awesome, nice and friendly. As we sat for our number to be called, others were being called for different numbers and I noticed their callers had files that were easy to carry...... When it was finally our turn, we were taken to a different door compared to the rest, and was told to sit down infront of a clear pixy glass. On the desk was a stack of paperwork, about 5 or more inches thick.

We were asked questions that were based off our form that I had filled out. And our one and ONLY relationship question that could not be found in the petition was "How did you two met?" Afterwards she went over the documents I sent her, my hubs was wondering what I had submitted, she mentions that she liked I wrote an explanation of each category of each set of evidence that was listed and why we lived a few months apart after he immigrated here. (He got a job offer to Cali and our lease was about to expire in a few months in Washington so made more sense to keep me working till the end of the lease agreement instead of paying x3 rent to break the lease.) Even submitted the plane tickets of me visiting him during 4th of July break at my job. It finally got to the point where she asked us if we had any updated documents we wanted to submit..... she asked if there was an updated lease agreement or a mortgage statement that I could give her and also if there was a tax return from 2020. When I got to about 75% done presenting the documents, my husband kept begging me to stop giving them to her.... I felt like Billy Mays during an info commercial. The IO told him that's its really best to have too many documents than too little. She ended the interview telling us she will be removing the conditions and should be expecting the new green card in the mail within a few weeks.

She mentions hubs is able to apply for citizenship since his window has been open and if we had any questions. Hubs was asking about what to do about child support payments proof when one ex spouse will refuse to sign a document staying he has been paying her it this whole time since there is no court order. Basically show bank statements and highlight where the money is being sent to them, and if there is a conversation to the EX about it, print those conversations as proof. We also mention that we have a petition out for his oldest to come live with us. (Which got stage 1 approval on Wednesday).


PS. My spouse remembered my correct month and day of my birthday but forgot the year, kept guessing the years around it but not it.(Told him thank you for calling me younger than I really am, he gave the correct age I was, and told him to take 21 minus the age and what does he get >>) He was scare he also forgot the day month and year we got married on to the point the IO told him the date and said "Oh yeah." 
PSS When we got to the car I checked the status of the petition, it states that his new green card is being produced!

Any EAC April filers have been approved already? or had their interview scheduled?

[Cacilie 2]

Good day, everyone! I'd want to ask you a question. I'd like to visit my homeland. Do you think it's okay if I travel with my extension letter because I haven't received my 10-year green card yet? Or does anyone take the chance to travel outside of the country with their extension letter?

[RAKSHA 0]

Can any one share their approved SRC receipt number without last three digits plz?
