is it necessary to have the cover letter?

Yes bec. it helps (easy to find) the examiner to check all your documents, It's nice to see if well organize too! There's a sample here click on example forms on top! I just sent mine last feb. 8,2008 and my 2 years gc expire on May 8,2008. Email me here shelymd21@yahoo.com so i can attach some stuff for how i organized my I-751.

God bless!

I don't know if it is necessary but it probably is helpful...

I sent mine without one because I just didn't think of it...

I say do it, it takes like 5 min. and helps keep it organized.

It's neither necessary nor required but can be helpful in certain instances.

It is not required, but it is definitely helpful.

I agree with the folks, it helps YOU know exactly what you're putting in the package, and it makes the dude (or dudette) who receives it much easier than to wade through kilos of photocopies with no index. Remember to keep a copy of it, along with everything you send.

good luck, L.

thanks so much

I never used one and always had approval without delay.
