Hi there! I am busy printing off tax returns and tax return transcripts for each of the years my husband has filed jointly for us. I made it to this year and I am coming across a very hefty 2021 tax return which is something enormous, like 162 pages long?! I have printed off a transcript for this already, which was about 6 pages. For 2019 and 2020, I printed off tax return transcripts and tax returns (Form 1040) for each. Is there any way I can get away with not printing off the tax return page (162 pages!) and just provide the transcript for 2021? Or would the fact that consistency is ruined be a problem? The transcript is still an official document, so I don't see why it would be bad to just include that piece for 2021. Thanks for any advice!

Yes, he files for us jointly, so this should be alright

Sadly we don't have a joint bank account, but me as an authorized user on his card. I am a full time university student, so we do not have any shared bills. I am on his health insurance, so I'm sure that counts. I can't drive (yet), so no joint vehicle purchases I'm sure we can add a tax return though. Thanks for your feedback. Because I am just an authorized user, is the copies of the front and backs of our cards sufficient, or would including the one letter I received showing my name and address and one of his statements showing his name and address for the account also be added?

I should add that I am an authorized user on my husband's credit card. We do not have a joint account. Hence no statements that show both our names.

Hi all, I'm just sharing a list of all the evidence that I intend to submit with my Removal of Conditions form that I'd like some help going over. Can anyone tell me if this is all alright, or if any are unnecessary ones that should be removed? I've had some good advice here in terms of the uni payments and phone payments: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/793447-supporting-evidence-for-other-evidence-for-removal-of-conditions/ , but I'd like to have some people just look over the whole lot and give me advice for anything here: Photocopies of all leases with our names on Official printout of me listed on my husband's work benefits Official printout of beneficiary details which list me for husband's work Screenshot of American Plan Administrators of husband's account showing me as family member Copies of front and back of both our Citi credit cards that show the same account number, but different names Copies of front and back of both our HSA cards that show the same account number, but different names Scanned copies of a few cards received for Christmas and wedding anniversaries each year Scanned copies of a few photos from each year since we got married Screenshot of university tuition payments stating dates, amounts, and who paid (both myself and then my husband) Screenshot of my mobile phone account showing my address and my husband as the person who pays If I have to include any supporting bank statements for the mobile phone payments, or the university tuition, will I need to provide bank statements for every single one, or would the most recent for either of them suffice? Is any of this evidence not worth the hassle and should I just remove it? Thanks for any advice! I used what was listed here on Visa Journey as a guide based on what we have:

My phone account shows it as being my account, but clearly lists him as the payer. I'll look into supporting bank statements. I am on his Amazon Prime as a family member, so that's useful. We do have ID / Licence cards showing the same address Due to covid we have not travelled, so no trip tickets I am an authorized user on his credit card, so we have matching cards with same number but different names

The university does their billing through Nelnet (3rd party) and you can basically print off transactions from there / save the print off or screenshow as a PDF copy, which is basically what my screenshot does. But I can try and contact the school for a PDF history of payments, but not sure if they can provide it. The phone account is under my name, but he pays the bill. If I print off a statement that shows my name and address and the billed amount, could I attach a copy of his bank statement that shows matching payments to the account? The purpose of this is to show spending on the other partner / purchases. I've been full time at uni so he's been supporting me, so we have no joint bills so to speak. Ok, I'll scan copies of cards. Thanks for your time.

Hi there! I'd like to ask a question about arranging some evidence for my Removal of Conditions package when I send it off along with my form: 1) One of my pieces of evidence is a screenshot of my university billing service that shows the cost of tuition, the date it was billed, and who paid. It lists my name for about half and then my husband's name for the rest. Is a screenshot alone of this enough, or would a bank statement supporting each of his payments also be required? Or would a bank statement showing just the most recent payment be enough? 2) One of my pieces of evidence is a printout of my mobile account showing that my husband currently pays my phonebill. Is this alone enough, or should I provide bank statements that confirm the payments? If so, will just the one suffice, or should there be several? It's only been since the start of the year, so would I need to provide statements for all of these, or will just one be alright? 3) For cards that have been sent to us, should I send the original cards in their stamped envelopes, or would photocopies of the cards and their envelopes suffice? I understand that providing tons of evidence seems like a good idea, but I wonder if they really want to sift through a massive package? I'm happy to print off a ton of statements if that's what is required, but if just one will suffice and they'd prefer less to sift through, I'd be fine with that, too. Any advice? Thanks for your time!

I did get a Non Driver ID and then later Learner Permit ID earlier this year, so I have that ID I can also carry around. Sounds like a photocopy of the lettter is what I will stick with for just normal day to day things, but if we go anywhere official or near any borders, I'll be sure to carry the original. I'll carry my GC even after it has expired, just to be safe. Thanks for all the advice.

That's an idea - sending different photos. I didn't actually send any photos with the AOS. Just documents. And they didn't even want to see them in the interview! But I'll add some anyways. I suppose repeated documents (like leases) would not hurt. Thanks for sharing

That makes sense. If I was anywhere near a border or going somewhere official, I'd be sure to carry the original letter.

That makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, I was wondering if I could have some advice? My conditional residency green card expires in March and I will be submitting my form to remove conditions at the start of the new year, so I make it to the start of the 90 day window. But I was wondering, when my card expires and I just have an NOA that proves my extended status, do I carry both my expired green card and the NOA with me at all times? I am always worried about losing or damaging the NOA because I know we only get the one copy. Would there be any way that I could make a photocopy of the front and back of the NOA and carry that around with me instead? Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!

Thanks for all the responses. I also wasn't sure how far back they want evidence from. I had my interview spring 2021, so they already had some evidence then (leases etc.). I know the instructions state that they want evidence from since we got married, but do they really want repeated evidence? Should I cover everything since end of 2019 just to be safe, or should I really focus on evidence from the past 2 years since my green card was issued? I did see on the VJ instructions they said: "While the USCIS instructions for the I-751 say that evidence should cover the entire period from your marriage up to the present date, there is no need to repeat evidence that you already submitted to them earlier. Many couples submit no evidence whatsoever covering the period before their first interview. In any case, it's helpful to concentrate on the evidence that has developed since they last interviewed you."

Hi, I was wondering if I could have some advice? It'll be 90 days before my card expires right at the end of December, so I'm starting to do a little gathering of evidence and filling out the form all ready and set to send off once I am in the 90 day period. I was just going through what they mention below, and I caught sight of the word "should". We have quite a bit of this documentation from some of the examples(not all), but I was wondering if the affidavits are compulsory and if so, can they be family members, or do they have to be outside of the family? At present, I have the following list of evidence: All leases (I can find from 2020-present) Tax stuff from filing jointly Printouts from husband's job that show me as beneficiary on various things Statement history of my husband paying my university tuition My husband paying my phone bill Me as authorized card holder Me listed on his health insurance Cards from special occasions from abroad Photographs of us and family Is this enough? Thanks for any advice!
