I-751 - Proof/Evidence

[Dags 134]

Hi! 

 

I'm about to start filling it and gathering all evidence for the I-751 form to Remove Conditions on my residency. I understand that i need to (again) provide some proofs and evidence of our relationship/marriage.

 

My question is: should that evidence be dated from the time I've entered the US for the first time/receive my green card?

 

So that being said, if I arrived in Feb 2020, the proofs should be date on or after that date. Am i right? My assumption is yes as otherwise it would be doubling all the proof we sent with out green card petition. But! I may be wrong. Any advice should be appreciated! thanks a lot!

Yes, in general, the ROC evidence should be from when you received your conditional GC which for you would be your entrance date on your spousal visa.

Please read the instructions for I-751. It asks for as much evidence as possible from the start of your marriage to the date of filing I-751. Your date of entry to the country is irrelevant. You're not doubting anything by submitting docs you already submitted.

@Dashinka the instructions say from the date of marriage. Where does it say from the date of obtaining conditional LPR status / entry to the US?

Yeah, you are right.  I guess when we did it via K1/AOS, we did not send in duplicate evidence that was submitted with the AOS.

Fwiw, we submitted only evidence that occurred later than the “resident since” date  + reference letters. 
 

This was done under direction of a highly rated (Yelp and Google maps) immigration attorney who is a member of the California bar and listed in AILA 

 

If we were DIY, we would have submitted the original I-485 evidence plus the new evidence minus the reference letters.  
 

But we were paying for competent advice and went with it. 
 

No RFE (a key measure of every lawyer IMHO), no interview, and case approved.

I'm in the same situation, highly rated attorney, member of California bar etc etc told me to submit from the start of marriage though.

 

I don't think it would hurt adding it. But not adding may be used against the OP if USCIS would want to nitpick (very low chance of that).

 

OP, I guess you can decide what's your comfort level.

Haha @Dashinka. We also read the instructions and still only submitted evidence from resident since date. We even openly admitted to ourselves that that was we were going to do because we didn't want to send more duplicate evidence, and we believe what we were submitting was more quality.

 

However, I will advise op to submit from beginning of marriage per the instructions because they might not be well versed in submitting 'quality' evidence over 'quantity'

Not that my case was approved yet (still pending), but I submitted evidence from my GC approval. In fact, the very same day I received my green card in the mail I started an envelope labeled “ROC evidence” and started collecting evidence there. I’m doing the same for my N400. Feel very confident with my package!

We also did it from the time green card was issued, no high priced lawyer involved. My guess would be the quality of evidence you submit too. marginal evidence start from beginning, good evidence start from time of green card. We got the conditions lifted without interview in 10 months with no requests for more evidence. So look at your whole package, quality and quantity of your evidence. Supliment as necessary.

@Mike E Ironically, shortly after I mentioned my lawyer in this thread, I got email from her saying she's retiring 🤠

So my question is: can you please share your attorney's name if you don't mind in direct messages?

With I-751 pending I may need to help in case if I get RFE / need to go to interview.

 

Thank you!

thanks everyone! Looks like most of you has shared evidence from the time of GC being issued. My gut is telling to do the same to be fair.

I'm gonna throw another option in here that I used. From date of marriage but only quarterly statements for banks, reoccurring bills, credit cards etc.
