jaybird Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Hi Does anyone know where else I can get a download of form I-751? I went to the USCIS link below but the file has been damaged and can not be repaired. http://www.uscis.gov/i-751 And also what is the average time you need to wait before you get the new green card after filing. Thanks a lot. Edited June 20, 2011 by jaybird (see edit history) Link to comment

If it does go longer than a year, simply schedule an info-pass appointment to visit the field office and get an I-551 stamp in passport to further extend proof of LPR status.

Thanks a lot but both linked files are damaged. Can you open it? They work for me, if using a mac, will have to save the file and then use Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the files, mac's preview function will not open the PDF files. If PC try rt-click and select save as, and save on PC and then open the file. Link to comment

jaybird Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi, I am preparing my I-751 package following the pinned post by David in this section. http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29296 I am wondering whether there is any new requirements because that post is 3 years old. I noticed the fee should be $505, add $85 biometric fee for a total of $590. Link to comment

jaybird Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hi guys, So I am putting things together for my I-751 package. And I hope you guys can help me check whether there's anything I missed. Payments to US Department of Homeland Security. A check in the amount of $590 total ($505 for I-751 filling fee and $80 for biometrics fee). Cover Letter. Form I-751 joint petition for removal of conditions of permanent resident status regarding me. Copy of my permanent resident card, front and back. Copy of my California identification card. Copy of my social security card. Copy of my husband's driver¡¯s license. Evidence to verify the status of our marriage and ongoing relationship: Copy of a certified copy of our marriage license.Copy of a residential rental agreement with both of our names on the lease. Three original letters written by U.S. citizen friends with the envelope showing our address as current. Copy of tax transcripts for 2009 and 2010 years we have filed jointly. Copy of Comerica Bank checking and saving statements showing joint accounts. Copy of actual debit/credit cards showing a joint account. Copy of actual health insurance cards showing same account number. Copy of actual dental insurance cards showing same account number. Plus copy of dental record of the oral surgery (wisdom teeth extraction) in December, 2010. Copy of most recent utility bill, Comcast bill, car insurance bill, cell phone bill. Copy of the mails, bills and receipts addressed to me at the same address. Copy of documentation of the vacations that we have taken, including flight itineraries, boarding passes, restaurant bills, and pictures of us together on vacation. Other pictures of us together with family and friends. Copy of greeting cards addressed to us both. Copy of ticket stubs for some of the many things we¡¯ve enjoyed together. I am a little worried because we don't really have joint ownership of anything and we don't have any kids. We do have a car but I guess it's too late to add me to the title now. I am sending like 80 photos, hoping to make it up a little... I would really appreciate if you guys can give me any kind of advice regarding my I-751 package. Link to comment
dnoblett Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Your list looks good, similar to what we had sent to USCIS. One thing I don't see are Sworn affidavits from a couple friends attesting to your relationship, notarized.

They are "Sworn Affidavits" this means need to be signed in front of a notary, proving that the person making the statement and signing is the actual person making the statement. Link to comment

dnoblett Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Do you have any idea how much do they normally charge? Visit your personal bank, they should offer this to you for free, or have your friends who provided the affidavits visit their own bank. I personaly know several friends who are notaries, this tends to be a public service so not charged for or a small fee is charged. Edited July 20, 2011 by dnoblett (see edit history) Link to comment
