Looks great! Mine was a little different-I didn't send a copy of my D/L and SSN card. I don't want my SSN floating around more than it has to. An idea for you (if that's a concern at all!) is send in the letter from SSA reflecting you made a change. I know it doesn't spell out what the change is, but they should figure it out by the date. I also didn't get my cover letter notarized. Was I supposed to do that??? I hope you're sending yours out soon so you can join me with the August crowd!! It doesn't seem like there are many August filers out there in the VJ world...

There is no need to have a covering letter notarized. It is not part of the official documentation.

i know that cover letter does not have to be notarized, however i was told that would be a very good idea that would certify that the notary has seen the originals.

Hi MsSheka. I hope to be among the August filers. Just waiting on a couple of items that I expect to have this week. So keep your fingers crossed...

I sure will, mine won't be going off until 8/21/09 (Friday) so we might be sending ours about the same time. :thumbs:

You don't have to notarize...unless it will make you feel better. If I'm not mistaken the I864 for CR1s is the only form that requires a notary seal. Best wishes.

Your packet looks great, I'll assume no need for divorce certificates or death decrees.

Good luck

PS - "borned" isn't a word. Sorry, but it's the teacher coming out in me! Go with 'was born'.
