Hi,
Based on my research here and other forums, we are in the process of gathering documents to send in with our joint I-751 petition and would appreciate clarification on some questions. I have listed below the documents I currently plan to send along with my questions where applicable:
1. Joint I-751 form filled out and signed by my USC wife and myself along with cover letter.
2 Copy of green card (front and back) along with Chech to DHS.
3. Photos since our marriage and with family/friends - We plan on sending 1 or 2 pictures each from our wedding, trip my wife and I made to Lake Tahoe soon after our wedding, trips we made together to attend my brother's wedding, my brother-in-law's graduation in Michigan, Las Vegas/Grand Canyon trip this past spring, trip to Canada/Banff National Park with my parents this past summer. We plan on including notes on the back of each picture as well. In short, we plan to include a total of ~10-15 pictures from our wedding through now - are these enough for the photos?
4. For mortgage papers, should we include a copy of the HUD settlement statement or does USCIS expect some other mortgage related paperwork for I-751? We also plan to include a copy of our apartment lease renewal paperwork showing both our names (this was before we moved in to our current house).
5. Randomly selected joint assets documents including bank statments, utility bills from our marriage through now showing and showing both our names. Additioanlly, would it help to include official letters from our banks saying we have a joint account opened on xxx date and with yyy amount deposit?
6. Life Insurance documents for both of us showing the spouse as the beneficiary.
7. Joint Tax returns - Per information in various posts, we plan to send copies of our joint tax returns. Are copies of just the IRS forms (e.g. 1044, Schedule C etc) sufficient or do we also need to include copies of our W-2s?
8. We had included a copy of our marriage certificate for the adjustment of status petition. Should we include this with the I-751 as well?
9. Letters of affidavit from couple of our relatives (both naturalized citizens). Do these letters need to be notarized?
10. After my GC was approved in 2006, we moved from our apartment to the house we live in. I had filed an AR-11 and my wife had filed the I-865 (sponsor change of address) form. Do copies of these need to be included in the I-751 petition?
Any other documents you can suggest that might help with the petition?
Appreciate any input,
