I used a priority mail flat rate medium box from USPS. My package didn’t fit any envelope so the employee suggested the box. Worked great!  

Yeah, same here, medium flat rate box.  We two hole punched and prong fastened the package together.  Just to keep it from falling apart in the box, we actually wrapped it in plastic wrap so individual pages wouldn't get ripped off.

Hi Guys! This must be a dumb question but I was wondering how will I know if the office rejected my package? Do they send out a notification about the rejection?

Will they send you a receipt number? Like MSC....

I filled on time, and I was worried that they would reject me. But I got a receipt number this morning MSC...So I'm not sure if they accepted my form or is it a rejection

It means that the package was accepted. Why do you think they might reject it?

Quick question for those who have already submitted. Where did you guys put your cover letter? Apparently USCIS want the G-1450 and G-1145 on top of the packet.. Did you guys put right after G-1145?

That is what we did. Payment form > E-notification form > Cover letter

We placed  our cover letter and money order on top . Is this going to be a problem?

Great. I saw your packet and was thinking the same. Thanks!

I doubt it. As long as it is obvious that you've included the filing fee, you should be good

Just got my NOA1 today and now the WAIT starts... Good luck to everyone

I am in the process of preparing our ROC packet, which we will be filing next week (earliest date we can file is 10/31 so I am hoping to get it in the mail on Monday, 11/1). I figured I'd go ahead and start the November thread for anyone else who is in the same boat. 

 

As of right now, this is the list of evidence I am including in our packet:

• Letter from our bank stating the date my husband was added to the account (because our statements only show my name)
• All statements from that same bank account from the date we were married to present (shows direct deposits from both of our jobs and all marital bills paid from this account)
• Letter from Discover that shows we opened a joint savings account on July 28, 2020
• All statements for that joint savings account
• Documentation that my husband is the beneficiary on my Roth IRA
• Our apartment leases from 2019, 2020, and 2021 (with both names) 
• Water bills with both of our names 
• Healthcare durable Power of Attorney for each of us, appointing the other
• Several official letters we have received with both names (such as IRS notices and the letters from the White House about stimulus checks)
• 2 verification of insurance letters from Progressive that show both of our names as drivers and lists both vehicles
• Emergency contact list from my work that shows my husband as my emergency contact
• Screenshot of our Verizon account that shows both names and phone numbers 
• Membership agreement from Planet Fitness that I gifted my husband (shows his name as the member but my name and bank info for payment) 
• Tax transcripts for 2019 and 2020
• Documentation of 4 vacations we took in 2020 and 2021
• 8 photos of us ranging from Nov. 2019 to July 2021
• Joint credit card statements from May 2019 to present
• Documentation that he is an authorized user on another credit card (his name isn't listed on the statements) 

 

Also we just refinanced his vehicle in both of our names so I will add that documentation in if I get it in hand before I send the packet off. 

 

I do have a couple of questions, if anyone has input. 

1. How many water bills should I include? I have every monthly bill from May 2020 through October 2021, except for 2. I don't know if I should throw them all in or not. 
2. As of now, I have not included some documentation that was provided in our AOS packet (or at the interview). Examples include photos that were already provided and documentation of trips already provided. For more context, we were married in May 2019 and our AOS interview was December 2019. 

 

If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to let me know. And good luck to anyone that plans to file in November  

Wow!  And I love your list.  Quick Question:  where do you find the service center and the service center address?

Did anyone include a copy of the Reminder to file I-751 they got from USCIS in their packet? Trying to decide if we should include it. Thanks!

Just got our text message this morning, woohoo!

 

Our packet arrived at the lockbox last Tuesday, and the USCIS case status page shows that the official receipt date was Wednesday. So overall it took about 4 days from when our packet arrived to when they notified us with our receipt number.
