US Immigration from Argentina

Hello!

Long time no see! So, I thought I would start a thread for those that are from Argentina going through the process of the ROC in 2022 based on a green card through marriage.

To begin, here is the general guide at VJ:

Then, here is what USCIS has:

https://www.uscis.gov/i-751

Now, this is only a preliminary list, but I wanted to start something so we can get the discussion flowing.

Evidence:
-IDs

-Bills

-Statements

-Insurance

-Deeds

-Leases

-Birth certificate of children (if applicable)

-Proof of traveling together

-Photos

Remember: The idea is to prove that you have cohabitation (living in the same address) and comingling financially (you have merged your finances both liabilities and assets).

**Please note it gets much more detailed, I am only providing a simple general list so we can get some starting points.**

I will soon share a typed up letter of what the cover should bee based on some other ones I have seen here.

Howdy, all! I haven't found a thread that is just for LIN service centers filers. So. here we go: If your case got sent to the LIN service center, please update.

So far here is what I have:

Joint i751 text message received on 02.04, with a PD of 02.01

Hello everyone -

I came to the US back in 2018. Received my 2 year green card in 2020, and it s expiring in April 2022.

We re having a baby boy in May (yay!!) and we re very excited to say the least. However, with preparing for the baby, I still haven t submitted my paperwork to adjust my status. I think my question here is, is it too late? Am I going to have a expired green card? My passport expires in March as well so I don t want to be without any current documentation.

Any advise I d appreciate. Thanks!!

Hola, escribo en espa ol ya que esta pregunta va dirigida a argentinos. Vivo en USA hace dos a os, vine con visa K1 y tengo green card hace un a o. Quiero renovar mi DNI y pasaporte argentinos ya que estan por vencer y los necesito para cuando voy de visita a Argentina. Mi pregunta surge ya que en Estados Unidos llevo el apellido de casada, o sea de mi marido, y mis documentos argentinos son con mi apellido de soltera. Si quiero renovar DNI y pasaporte, tendria que cambiar el apellido o puedo seguir usando el de soltera? Alguien que haya hecho esto? Y aparte de eso, deberia actualizar a mi nuevo domicilio en Estados Unidos? Como funciona? Muchas gracias por leer-

Hello everyone!

I understand that most people here are not approved for their green cards yet. First of all, I want to cheer you up, your approval will come soon!

If you have been married for less than 2 (two) years at the time of your GC approval, you will get a conditional green card. That green card will have an expiration date. Two years minus 90 days from that date, you will have to file for the I-751 , aka Removal of Conditions or ROC. There is a wonderful guide here in Visajourney for that. What I wanted to tell you is that once your approval comes, you want to make an envelope/ box, label it ROC evidence or something easily identifiable, and be intentional in collecting evidence. Be proactive.

So you are wondering, what evidence is solid for the i-751?

- Joint bank accounts

- Joint tax returns.

- Joint car/ health insurance

- Joint retirement accounts or 401ks

- Joint leases/ deeds/ mortgages

- Living wills, POAs, etc.

This is what I call "primary" evidence. Some of you for AOS might not have joint bank accounts with your spouses, but that is something to consider for ROC.

Additionally, you can also include trip reservations, pictures, affidavits, memberships, etc. This is what I call "secondary" evidence, which is not nearly as strong as the primary one, but it can help if your package lacks some of the primary ones.

I am about to submit my ROC package in two days, and so I have been visiting the ROC forum long enough to see that some couples try to gather evidence last minute. This can be easily avoided if you plan ahead of time. If you are proactive, all you will have to do is to put the package together. Happy journey, everyone!
