Great and Helpful Forum

Thanks to all who provide the information to help those that are following in your footsteps. VJ has been a true friend all along our journey...

I just wanted to share the evidence and the cover letter that I have modified from the generic draft that was posted here. We can file our petition in early June and I have been preparing in advance so we won't have to prepare in a panic, LOL. We are adding in the school stuff to provide some secondary evidence for my step daughter's portion of the petition. I do not intend to attach months and months of banking statements... I'm only going to submit one month's worth. I'm also not including any pictures or affidavits from friends, etc. I don't intend to add in any utility bills (cel fon, cable/internet, electricity), as they are all in my name. I don't want to overwhelm the IO, and I'm actually quite confident that our submission will be good to go. I have failed to update our new address with USCIS and plan to just submit the I-175 without having done so and allowing the petition to serve as address update. I would appreciate any concurring or counter opinions or comments. Thanks again to all for all the great stuff.
