Time for our Removal of Conditions

Wow, this snuck up on us.  Time flies when you are having fun.

 

I've just filled out her I-751.  

 

For evidence, I've included a bunch of stuff, with some caveats ... do you all think this is sufficient?

 

• Multiple complete bank statements for the last 12-18 months. (Still in her maiden name)
• Tax returns 2020 - 2021 (Sadly, in error, they are in her maiden name)
• Mortgage refinance document (Wife is on it, but they only list me on the header, there is a signature line for her on the last page)
• Marriage license
• Tons of photos of us in various parts of the country (Labeled). Including interactions with my kids and family.
• Several of her pay stubs from the past year
• We leased a townhouse for a hear before moving back to the home we own (Lease included)
• Her permanent residency card
• Her social security card
• Wedding photos

 

The other issue is that her bank records are in her maiden name.  We never got a chance to change it because during the pandemic it took an act of God to get an appt at the bank, and now this snuck up on us.  Our tax returns are in her maiden name.  Her residency card and social security card are in her name.  
 

We never got her a state ID card (she doesn't drive), but are going to try to do that on Monday or Tuesday so she has something with her address on it.  

 

Other than our bank accounts, the utility bills are all solely in my name.  (I never considered opening the utility bills in both names, no advantage ... except for this)

 

What else do I need or should I be good here?

 

Thanks !!!

Sounds like you have it covered! Is she added to your health insurance, 401K and life insurance beneficiary? That could be something to add. We included that in our package.

 

Also, no need to send tons of photos, don’t go crazy there. Especially because you have better proof. 

Please note that for the I-751, she is considered the petitioner, so make sure that you didn’t put your name as the petitioner. If you already had this covered, ignore this part of my post 😊

Yes, she's on my health insurance. I added the health insurance cards in there.  Sadly, I need to rebuild a new 401k.  

Will her maiden name being on some of the documents be a huge problem?  What if we don't obtain her ID before I mail the packet?

Thank you for the kind reply.

Having her maiden name on some things will not be an issue.  You might also think about getting wills and living wills, but I would not hold up the submission for those.

 

Good Luck!

Agree on that.  The last few years have been crazy.  Now that things are settling, I agree on those parts.  

 

Sounds like I'm ready to submit. I appreciate all of the help and feedback.
