I-751 Nightmare/help Confused In Pasadena
Hi all,
I just received a letter from the Dept of Homeland Security informing
me that my petition has been transfered to their office. The letter
goes like this:
In order to expedite the processng of your petition, it is necessary
to request the submissiomn of additinal documents as proof of the
marital relationship. Documents may be joint bank, joing lease .... My
deadline to remove my petition was 12/25/03. Which I did promptly.
WELL, I have already submitted the exact same thing they are asking
me. I find this very odd. I am all freaked out now ! I thought all
that I initially forwarded to them was enough. Nothing has changed
since then. I am still in possession of the same documents. My husband
and I, both lease our apartment. this is our second lease. I have
already submitted both lease to them, along with joint bills, Joint
bank statements dated from the time I arrived here in the states up
until this very moment. My goodness what more do they want. On top of
it, my husband and I, have a daughter who is 4 years old, I have also
submitted her birth certificate, along with letters from his friends
and family. I mean we are a REAL MARRIED COUPLE. What more do they
want ! Also, I work in the law office, and my husband signed up with
the firm I am empoyed with due to a car accident. I know my employer
can testify that we are a real. My check gets wited into our account
TWICE A MONTH. This Wells fargo account is HIS ACCOUNT and name has
been added as well. WE ARE A married couple !My boss has seen us
plenty of time together, I am quiet sure that he'll write a letter to
these people. Though he is not an immigration attorney. He is still an
attorney, and I am thinking that it would not hurt to re-send my
package along with a letter from My boss saying that he is
representing me. Gosh, I am so devasted and CAN't bear the prospect of
being sent back to france. I have not been there in 7 years. Before
that my husband and I used to live in germany. They are giving me 30
days upon receipt of their letter which is dated 8/27/04 but the stamp
on the envelope shows a different date. Also the letter is asking me
to address my pakage to U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Service , 1241
S. Soto Street, Room 217. Should I just go there with my husband and
my daugher plus all that the papers they are asking for ? I would
really prefer to get there so that they can see us, and I know they
will SEE that we are FAR FROM BEING FRAUD and grand me my green card.
PLEASE HELP

Re: I-751 Nightmare/help Confused In Pasadena
Hi,
I know it looks scary but try to stay calm a little.
The request you received gets sent out quite often. Receiving an RFE does NOT mean you are on the verge of being deported. They may have just misplaced all the documents you sent them! This has happened.
So, just do what they asked - send them all the information and proof - AGAIN. I'm sure you have copies so it should not be a big job. Maybe get updates where you can, but if not, just re-submit everything.
This wouldn't hurt either - he could write a letter testifying to you and your husband's relationship (like your family and friends did). Add to the package and send in. Really try to calm down a bit... just do what they ask. And go with the date on the envelope. Good luck!

I just wanted to add - do not go there in person. Send it in like they said. If they want to see you, they will call you in for an interview. After they receive the information they requested of you now, they will decide if they want to do an interview or not - they might approve you based on the documentation alone.

I-751 Nightmare
DEAR NG:
I have just received a letter from INS informing me that my petition
has been transfered to them. The letter ask for documents of bonafide
relationship. I am dreamin or what. The letter is asking us to produce
documents which I HAVE ALREADY submitted when I filed my petition
(I-751) back on 12/25/05.
What should I do???? NOTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN. I've previously
forwarded copies of our joint bank statements, with joint appartment
lease, joint car lease, joint utitlity bills such as cable , phone..
Even the birth certificate of our daughter showing us as parents of
our child. I thought I had given them what they had asked for. I am
very worry, this is not GOOD AT ALL. Looking back, I am now wondering
if I should have had included notorized letters. I did sent letters
but I had typed these letters and I my husband best friend and Grand
mother signed it, only because they did not have time, my husband best
friend who was also my joint sponsor signed the letter I had written
because he did not have time to write a letter. He is a correctional
officer and works almost every day and sometimes he pulls double
shift, which is why I wrote that letter,also my grand-mother in law is
83 years old and I've also wrote that letter. Maybe INS thought it was
fraud. I will have them to write letters this time and get everthing
notorized. I will also have my brother in law, and sister and mother
in laws write letters. I am also thinking about adding letters from
the director my daughter pre-school.Also How much letters should I
include, I want to include as many letter as possible and get the most
important ones notorized. PLease help, I am truly ruuning out of
ideas. I have already submitted all of our joint papers. I was not
able to include my life Insurance and Health insurance. Our job do not
offer health insurance, as to Life insurance, we simply cannot afford
it. Also, my husband had lost his job and I was the main provider. I
am also thinking about submitted pay stubs showing that my checks gets
wired into our account by-monthly along with itemized banking
statements showing who paid what, as both of my husband and I have the
same checking account. This is driving me insane, it is 1:20 a.m and I
totally can't sleep over this. I am so desperate , Please help !

Re: I-751 Nightmare
If your marriage is real (and it sounds like it definitely is), just send the required documents in. Like others have said, it could be something as simple as they have misplaced some of the items. Follow their instructions and you will be fine. This is far from putting you in deportation proceedings. All they are doing is asking for additional evidence. Good luck. Bon chance.

Re: I-751 Nightmare
I have to ask if you have received a letter just requesting additional evidence or if you received a letter telling you that your I-751 has been transferred to the local district office for interview? Another poster has received much the same letter as you requesting additional evidence and she was just as upset and mystified as you about it.
The only thing to do is COMPLY. If you are not scheduled for an interview and only need to send more evidence, then send once again copies of everything you originally sent and anything else you have accumulated since filing.
Please know that USCIS randomly picks I-751 for deeper scrunity. While some people are called because there is doubt, others are called because they were unlucky enough to be the recipients of fate.
Getting so upset and negative about it is a waste of energy.

Which one was your Service Center? If they transfer your file to the local office, is because they were planning to interview you guys, but now that the local office is requesting more documents is because they are making an effort to approve you without an interview, just send updated documents as the statements you mentioned and you should be fine.

It also looks like that very shortly you will be eligible to file the naturalization application. It may not be a bad idea.
BTW, give them updated information -- its been some months since you filed. They don't want to approve a case if you have filed for divorce in the meanwhile, stuff like that.
