Include blank pages of statements?

[magicant 11]

I'm starting to get things together for my wife's removal of conditions.  I plan to submit statements and bills for every month.  I know some people submit a few per year, others submit every month.  I prefer to submit every month to help avoid any possible RFE.

 

Since they do not want double sided, so it will be alot of pages, is it ok to leave out the "intentionally left blank" pages of bank statements?  And also the list of phone calls on the phone bill statements?

 

I was going to include them on the first statement, and then remove from all others, but I'm worried they will think pages are missing and not accept it.

Was wondering what others have done.

Thank you.

I've read that it's better to include all the pages. I did and it made my package enormous, so I just included one statement for each quarter.

Copy all pages - even the ones "intentionally left blank".  I know it kills trees, but it prevents RFEs!!!  Most bank statements have something like  "Page 3 of 8" at the bottom of the page.  Officers get suspicious if pages are missing.

As what was pointed out when you leave out a particular page the CO can tell as they are marked 1 of 8 etc, on the bottom. They get real suspicious when leave out a page or two, better to include ALL pages!

Thank you for the responses.  Looks like best to include everything.  I'll go back and print the missing pages from what I printed so far.  Really wish 2 sided was an option.  Anyway thanks, I rather do the most I can to prevent RFEs.

I included the 24 statements since we opened the account and I can’t help but feeling so sorry for such a waste of paper!

Thank you.  Yea definitely will be a lot of paper.  Especially since I always make 2 copies so I have a complete hard copy of everything sent.

 

Thanks again.

If your statement is 14 pages long and page 13 is nothing more than your interest rate and page 14 reads THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK and you don't print 13 and 14 I don't think it means you are in the fast lane to RFE City.  Especially if the really critical data is in those first 12 pages and commingling can easily be discerned.

 

Is there a risk to this approach?  Maybe.  No layman on this site can legitimately say if the USCIS agent gets 'real suspicious' over this and that.  They can only surmise.

 

Is it safest to print all pages including the last page that is nothing more than an advertisement for a home equity loan?  Sure.

I took the safe approach. To each their own.

YES! Always keep a copy. Next thing you know the package gets lost and there goes that. Good job!

Yea I decided I will just print every single page.  Rather have the peace of mind.  And yes I always make a second copy to keep at home in case first package gets lost, and also to bring to any interviews.  And of course I also have scans of everything on the computer so it would be easy (but time consuming) to reprint everything.

 

Thank you all for the comments.

I am almost done with my package (I will send it on January 30th) I went to Office Max the other day to their self- service copy center to get the copy done. I swear I was this close to unfolding a beach chair and popping open a beer while the whole Godzilla got done!

I printed 200+ pages of various support items, I selected a few months banks statements and did not include them all. I-751 was approved no interview, N-400 interview scheduled next month. 

 

I wanted to print color and at home I have a B&W work printer only so I used a website to print my items and mail them to me https://www.bestvaluecopy.com/

 

Also, nice to see another Cambodia joiner in NY/NJ

Oh no! I wish I had known about this site before I popped up my beach chair in the self- service at OfficeMax!

Yeah, there’s a number of these print and mail companies. Cheaper than going to Staples/OM/etc. and you don’t need to leave your home. This one I ordered on 14th and received yesterday
