I-751 December 2021 Filers

[Isabel&Will 113]

My window isn't until Dec 18 so I'm excited but nervous since it feels like time is flying. Our 2020 evidence is a bit lacking since we weren't really going anywhere other than work and were in survival mode but I'm hoping there's enough there to show we were still together through that period of time. I'm hoping this will be enough since we don't have much else to show, but I've seen some people send entire textbook-thick stacks. I've seen a lot of people submit another copy of their marriage license so we'll be submitting that along with the copy of my green card just in case along with:

- Copy of our original lease agreement (2019) and lease addendum that extended our lease into 2022
- Copies of joint power bills in both names

- Copies of water bills sent via email addressed to both of us at the same address
- Copy of recent joint bank account statement, and some earlier statements including the first one from when we first set up the account in early 2020

- Copy of a selection of [husband]’s Leave and Earnings Statements showing a dependent spouse

- Copy of 2019 and recent health insurance with both our names

- Copy of [husband]’s life insurance policy with [me] as a beneficiary

- Copy of 2019 and 2020 jointly filed tax returns

- Copy of title to jointly owned vehicle (purchased in early 2020)

- Copy of previous and current auto insurance policy in both names
- Selection of photos from date of marriage until present day including major events with friends and family (they only took 10 from our massive album at the GC interview so I included a few that they didn't take from 2019/early 2020 including some wedding photos, plus a selection from 2020 and 2021)

- Copy of "future tenant agreement" for a potential apartment we are trying to move to near [spouse]’s hometown that we have jointly applied for (our lease agreement expires in March so I figured this would help explain that)

- Copy of a bill showing both of us as members of [husband]'s family's phone plan (we still pay for it but the benefits were too good to pass up, plus my husband was already on it so they just grandfathered me in)

I think you have more than enough. I couldn’t supply a rental agreement with my spouse because the apartment complex had a hard time putting her on. That’s why I am showing she was on rental insurance until we bought our condo.

Thank you! He is our sunshine.

Just mailed our I-751 along with all paper work on 11/30 and it was delivered today(12/2)

Attached a ton of paperwork.

I have my fingers crossed for all December filers.

[Zach2015 211]

Got our text notices last night, but two different receipt numbers. So going to have to wait to see which service center we were really assigned, but either one isn’t good. One was MSC the other was YSC. I knew our K1 and AOS went way too fast, this is where we get backlogged…haha

Edit: because I just found out YSC is the Potomac center which I didn’t know before.
Hoping to get our text notice soon. Our package was delivered yesterday. Wonder why you have 2 numbers? Yeah MSC from what I understand means you’ll be interviewed.  Least your package is received and you’re on to the waiting game. Hopefully this goes as fast as your others.

I don’t recognize YSC as a service center for the I751 from the list but sure. I don’t know a lot lol! Least your package is received and you’re on to the waiting game. Hopefully this goes as fast as your others!

I looked it up. It’s Potomac. I’m not sure why we got flagged. No kids, no criminal records, not even a speeding ticket. We had an interview for the AOS and I have a level 2 background done for my hospital job. So this is interesting!

Hi! Yeah I just looked it up too. I think you just got the luck of the draw. You sent good stuff so I was surprised as well. Sure maybe in the end you won’t have too. Fingers crossed!

So yeah we are definitely routed to Potomac. We finally got in the Do not pass go lane. Haha

I don't think that you got flagged, I think it is a state specific thing.. on the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vonQCJgs9HODO2Y1DdSs3HNyL_FRnMfenlIeDQAUpWg/edit?usp=sharing) it seems like the majority of other Florida I-751 filers got sent to YSC. I got YSC as well and I am in Orlando. It is weird that you got two receipt numbers though.
