Hi all, I’m almost finished putting together our I-751 packet and looking to send it off on 7/7/23. I’m a little anxious and just looking for some reassurance/guidance on a few things. I made an embarrassing mistake with the fee amount when we applied for Adjustment of Status in 2020 so want to make sure. I’ve included the cover letter with list of included materials, any guidance is much appreciated:
Submission date: My conditional green card expires on 10/4/23. I calculated that 90 days from then is 7/6/23. I’m planning to send on 7/7/23 to be sure and I also have the afternoon off from work
Fee: I am enclosing a check for $680 ($595 application fee + $85 Biometrics). Does that sound right?
Filing Address: We live in Virginia and I’m planning to send by UPS to USCIS, Attn: I-751 (Box 21200), 2108 E. Elliot Rd, Tempe, AZ 85284-1806
Address on file with USCIS: We moved apartment since our AoS application in 2020. I tried to update the address that USCIS have on record but never got confirmation. Does that matter for a I-751 application that we are submitting physically?
Utility Bills: We decided to not include utility bills as they seem pretty flimsy proof and are laborious to obtain. Should we try to include them?
Joint bank account: We don’t have a joint bank account, does that seem like a major red flag?
