April 26 sent I-751 package. April 29 received in IL. May 10 got online extension and biometrics appt for end of May, which we rescheduled to a closer date.
-
How long does it typically take them to take money with a check? It has been a week, we got a "we took action on your case" but they didn't use the check yet
-
April 26 - package sent to IL lockbox. April 29 - USPS said it arrived and someone signed it. Nothing else so far
-
Thanks! No, we send a check
-
We just got our 2023 transcript! It was fast! Now we can send everything calmly
-
By that you mean (A) Send the full 1040s, all 70 pages, or (B) Don't send the full 1040s, and just send the petition without 2023's returns? A or B?
-
April 2024 submitters, what did you do about 2023 Federal tax returns transcript? Ours is not available yet, we submitted ASAP. Not sure if we should send the full 1040s :\ Our 90days window started April 20.
-
we have other evidence with the same address. Luckily, we never changed address since we move here together, so ALL documents show the same address except for the original lease which shows our previous residence. The electric utility bill only shows spouse's name because that's what they allow, and I thought it'd help to add the mobile bill which only shows my name, so they kinda "cancel out each other".
-
That's what we also assume will happen anyway, and by then we will have more evidence. The other part is that 1 year from now, spouse will be able to apply for naturalization anyway!
-
We noted that in the cover letter. The cover letter states which appendices we added, and here is the relevant one: There are more there, I omitted them here for clarity.
-
I don't know, some places say 6-8 weeks... We have all other evidence, seems "risky" to wait potentially 2 months just for a filing that we can add later (I saw it's even possible to add online). Worst case it's not like we can't submit the 60 pages...no?
-
What do you both think about 2023 Federal tax returns (this year's)? We have submitted it to IRS but obviously, no transcript yet. We are thinking of printing all of it (60 pages) and submitting those.
-
I did not even think about wills and powers, I didn't see it a lot when I looked online for what evidence to submit. Our -90 days clock is hitting today and we would like to submit the package ASAP rather than gather even more evidence. Thanks for the advice! If we do get RFE (I doubt it?), that's another thing we can do later to help us. We have a lot of pretty good documents, I think.
-
As per my post history, we are preparing our I-751 evidence. We have a lot of solid evidence - basically everything except for kids (got non) and shared assets (no house of our own). We printed out our mobile bills as one of the utilities which prove the address AND shows mine and spouse's mobile number under the same account. The idea was also to show we called each other. Now, it seems like it's kind of an overkill, we have around 150 pages of just the mobile bills. Even our bank / credit card statements aren't that big. Do we actually need to send all of that?
-
Gathering evidence, I have life insurance with spouse as beneficiary. Sadly, TriNet (the payroll company) and MetLife (the insurance provider) being what they are, they don't have any official documents showing this other than TriNet's portal with the plan name and my spouse's name. No official documents anywhere online. I screenshot this but I am starting to fear this might not be enough. I already contacted them. What do you think?
-
Thanks. What about apartment rental lease - do we really need to print all 15 pages? Our names are only on 4 pages, and the rest is a standard lease.
-
Understood, we can do that. We might have stamps, depending on country (not all countries stamp). Otherwise, we have plenty of boarding passes etc.
-
Joint lease - got it. Joint checking - got it (even 2) - no savings. Taxes - filing jointly.
-
We are putting together evidence, we have lots of other strong evidence like medicals and a lease and car insurance etc. We don't have joint credit card account (= same number but different names on physical cards), we only have cards with authorized users on each (= same account but the physical cards have different names and numbers). We were planning on sending copies of the physical cards with a copy of the main account page showing the numbers and the names, so they correlate. We are not sure applying for a joint card now would make sense, and maybe if it would trigger any red flag? Thanks.
-
Seems like some petitioners are adding a copy of their passport to their I-751. USCIS does not have any requirement on this. I assume that's also kind of overdoing?
-
Thanks, appreciate it. I will piggyback on this comment to avoid opening a new post. What is the typical envelope / package used to send the documents to USCIS? Just any folder (like the one in the video) and then plop it in any envelope of the method of sending we chose?
-
Title - example in this video - https://youtu.be/_LJ5smaeFVU?t=343 Printing and sending images makes sense, but sending the images WITH annotations - seems a bit excessive? Also the social media posts with comments, seem a bit too much as well. Is this common?
-
Is there any downside? No kids and not planned. We have pretty good evidence, the only things we may be missing are - Spouse is not on the car payments (they are on the insurance). - For some reason, spouse is not named in life insurance, not sure why, but they are named in all other insurances.
-
Title - for the I-751 Affidavit - does it need to be handwritten, or is printed and signed enough?
