I-751 checklist
My 2 year green card expires in February so I am preparing to file the I-751 form soon.
I wanted to ask everyone what should I include in the pack I send? I’m thinking:
- I-751 form
- copy of my green card
- our son’s birth certificate (he was born last year)
- copy of our rental home contracts for the last 2 years
- copy of joint car insurance & taxes
- money order for $680 (I believe that’s the amount ?)
Anything else I’m missing? Do I need 2 written letters from people confirming our marriage? Or photos of us in the last 2 years? Cards addressed to us?
Thanks!

What do the instructions call for? Official instructions are found at www.uscis.gov. The fee should also be listed there.
The evidence you listed sounds right. Everyone's evidence will be different, depending on their life scenarios.
You don't need the affidavits from others, not cards addressed to you, since you have good evidence otherwise. Perhaps a few photos might be good. Up to you.

Thanks for the replies!
For the documents to prove a good faith marriage, how much info do they actually need? For example, if I’m including a joint bank account statement or tax document, do I need the whole thing or just a few pages showing our names on it and what it is?

For taxes, get official IRS transcripts, which I believe can be ordered on their website. Those are consolidated tax documents.

Re: I-751 checklist
Ok I’ll get the transcripts to be safe.
Another question - my surname is Ross and my wife has changed her SSN & driver’s license to that but her passport is still her maiden name. A lot of our documents have her maiden name rather than Ross. Will that matter or is it not a big deal? Also, should I put her name down at Ross or her maiden name on the i751?
