I-751 ROC Filers - September 2025 & October 2025

[mw & rg k1 640]

Seeing that these forums are less attended than AOS and K1,
I thought to start this one a bit earlier than normal.

Hopefully you all have been working on your proof of marriage documentation. 

I-751 Document Checklist (taken from other groups):
- Front/back copy of permanent resident card.
- Copy of the driver’s license and/or identity card for each party of the qualifying marriage.
- Legible copy of your marriage certificate establishing a marriage to the U.S. citizen spouse.
   (The certificate must indicate that after the marriage ceremony, it was registered or recorded by the county, state, or province.)
- Documents that prove your bona fide marriage and co-habitation covering the period of time from the date of marriage to the present
   (such as: o Copies of bank statements showing joint savings accounts and/or checking accounts - one for each quarter (four per year) since the date of marriage.)

- Two declarations by close friends or family members with knowledge of your bona fide marriage.

- Copy of joint water bill, cable bill, energy bill, phone bill, or other statements issued in both your names indicating your residential address.

- Copy of joint car insurance.

- Copy of joint home insurance.
-  Copy of joint mortgage or lease.

- Birth certificates of children of the marriage.

- Insurance policies (showing spouse as beneficiary).

- Charge accounts in both names (copies of billing statements).

- Letter from the employers, showing who is to be contacted in case of an emergency; how many dependents are claimed for taxes; etc.

- Copy of joint Federal income tax return.

- If your spouse’s name has changed, any identification showing the married name such as driver's license, etc.

- Letters and cards written between the parties, or other correspondence to the couple.

- If applicable, submit copies of military Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAQ) form for housing and/or DD Form 1172 for dependent military cards.

- Copies of wedding and travel photographs, travel documents and/or other evidence that you feel should be considered.
   (The photos should be annotated to show the date and place where taken and identifying any other individuals in the photos)

 

Looking forward to seeing @grumpypiggy again in this forum.  
Getting it started a bit early to be sure the ROC group exists

Exactly!  It is NEVER too early to start preparing for the I-751.  I saved documents and asked myself "How can I use this as evidence" the entire time of wife having conditional Green card (as you know, it turned out to be almost 4 years).

We have a shared google drive folder and have been uploading all of these bills every month and every single other piece of anything that could be evidence. There's a google slide doc that we add 2 pics per page to.

It most certainly will make everything easier.

 

I cannot wait to never do this again for the rest of my life.

I certainly save all digital statements. But also, until very recently, had all paper statements delivered and stored in a box. This saved money on printing, as many typically complain about having to print evidence for I-751 / N-400

 Lots of places force you into e-delivery nowadays or charge to have paper sent. My husband just prints everything at work for free anyway.

Good for him! I wouldn't dare printing this volume for personal needs 😅

I'm lucky in that regard, no bank or utility company is charging me for paper statements. They're large national banks though. Some banks actually offered incentives (points, statement credits) for switching to paperless. So once I was done with immigration, I switched to paperless and got those too

 

Good luck and keep us posted!
