NO Binder

In preparing your packet, please take note of the following:

• Do not use binders or folders that cannot be easily disassembled.

• Use ACCO fasteners to hold together thick or bulky applications or petitions. Two-hole punching the top of the material for easy placement in the file is appreciated.

• The use of tabs assist in locating items listed as attachments. The tabs should be placed on the bottom and not the side for ease in filing.

• Avoid using heavy-duty staples; instead use ACCO fasteners or heavy clips.

• Avoid submitting originals unless specifically required. Avoid submitting oversized documentation when possible.

For AOS and K1 we used binder-clips (some call them bull-clips) - for best advice, follow These Assembly Tips.

If you are thinking to send 25 pages, you should wait for RFE letter later. Good luck!!!!

My total packet was 40 pages plus a photo book (another 10 pages). Those that try to send too much are putting themselves at a disadvantage - I think of the process as this - "How can I make the examiner's job easier?" To do this - I list everything in my cover letter (and I number those items - e.g. 1. Bank return Dec 08 - 2. utility Bill Dec 08 and the evidence itself is numbered (corresponding to the cover letter) - this way if the cover letter doesn't meet his/her requirement, then he doesn't need to go through my proof - if it does, he can check whichever piece he wants to check. I have worked as a tax administrator for 20+ years and have thrown out boxes of supporting evidence if it doesn't meet my criteria (I realized some tax preparers were making money by printing out more pages of unnecessary and unneeded 'proof'. They must charge by the number of pages). However, you must feel comfortable with your amount of proof - I do not believe in sending too much. Good Luck

No way am I sending anything close to 150 or 250 pages. Thats excessive and unecessary. You do not need to provide evidence on every single part of your life.

Tax transcripts sre smaller than the full returns that you filed. Appartment lease, a few bank statements from joint accounts covering the last 2 years, copies of insurance cards and 401k beneficiery docs, a couple of anniversary (1st and 2nd yr) cards and christmas cards. Finally 3 travel itineraries over the 2 years. Total is about 30 pages. Anymore and they will fall asleep or be pissed off at having to sift through it all.

Granted its better to be safe than sorry, but damn.....250 pages!
