I left the A-number part blank as it doesn't apply.<br /><br />You didn't need to staple everything. I didn't staple anything in my package. I just used a binder clip for my bank statements, a binder clip for my husband's bank statements, then one large binder clip for the entire package. USCIS actually prefers no staples as they have to tear apart everything anyways.Saylinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384784489793072175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-43364136467257820182013-06-21T14:20:19.834-04:002013-06-21T14:20:19.834-04:00Another question (sorry!).

So you left Part 3 blank, but he still signed under your signature?<br /><br />My arms are tired from all the stapling, but 2 years of bank statements are in! Ha ha. I photocopied the most relevant house info, we should be good. Fewf! What a good feeling when it all starts coming together :) A whole two years summed up!Catharinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02846388773128639941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-67376220152400918592013-06-21T00:43:09.774-04:002013-06-21T00:43:09.774-04:00The beneficiary fills out the AR-11, the petitione...The beneficiary fills out the AR-11, the petitioner fills out the I-865.<br /><br />Yup, the "Petitioning Spouse" is the petitioner in your case. Remember, this form is used in a variety of cases, not just those that came to the US based on a marriage visa. I left mine blank (as instructed to do). He definitely has to sign underneath your signature. If he doesn't sign, the petition will be returned to you.<br /><br />Don't worry, mine was blank in a few sections, especially part 4 as we have no kids. Part 7 was also blank as I prepared the form myself.<br /><br />Ohhh, congrats on the baby! And I bet you missed Canadian health care! I'm currently without health insurance and I miss health care every single day, lol!<br /><br />I've read a lot of cases getting RFEs for either not sending any bank statements or not sending the complete 2 years worth. Although it was a lot (you can see for yourself the pictures in another post where I described what I sent), I did not want to take any chances! Buying a house together is definitely good evidence, so make sure you submit documentation on that. And, in all honestly, playing the devil's advocate here, ANYONE can have a child, even with their spouse. To me, it's not really strong evidence as all it proves is that you two had sex and conceived a child. That's it. But, showing evidence that both of you are involved in the child's life would be stronger evidence.<br /><br />Thanks a lot! :)Saylinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384784489793072175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-39081836127276214532013-06-20T23:37:19.528-04:002013-06-20T23:37:19.528-04:00Oh, I did fill out the AR-11, but my US husband do...Oh, I did fill out the AR-11, but my US husband does as well? I didn't see a section for "US Citizen" on there, just PR, student, visitor, etc.<br /><br />Another question about the I-751 (I find your blog easier to search than VJ, since it all directly relates to me!). What portions did you fill out? I'm finding it kind of confusing. For example, for the "Information About the Petitioning Spouse" - is that the US spouse? It asks for A number, which I find odd...as obviously he is a citizen and doesn't have one. What did you do for that? On the signature portion, it says, "If Applicable", they have to sign, but I see nothing in the instructions referring to this. What did you do?<br /><br />I only have filled out Part 1, 2, and 6 at the moment. I just hate sending off all of these blank pages...makes me nervous. Ha ha. I didn't have any children prior, just had one here in Utah 7 months ago though :) (Really made me miss Canadian health care!)<br /><br />Also, quick question about your package. 2 years of bank statements seems like a ton - did you read anything that said there should be that many? Buying a house and having a babe is quite a bit of good evidence. What do you think?<br /><br />Thanks for all of the info and your quick responses. Also - congrats on your newest degree! Lots of accomplishments to be proud of, that's for sure.
