The cover letter is just a list of contents for your package. There's no need for any stories on that. You'll get to talk about how you met, fell in love and all that in the interview.

[Darnell 8,478]

actually, the cover letter can be whatever you want it to be.

you MIGHT be gettting this confused with an 'evolution of relationship' letter (E O R ) that is typically submitted (though not required) with a casefile headed to Guangzhou IV.

It's all optional.

If you want to have that type of letter, or any letter, really, it's all your decision for content, length, etc.

Hi, You don't need to explain how you met and everything in the cover letter. Just list the contents you are sending and save the details of how you met during your interview.

They receive a bunch of applications daily. If I were you I would just be practical.

Enclosures,

thanks buddy!!!! good luck with your interview!!!!!!!

[Frenchican 13]

thanks buddy!!!! good luck with your interview!!!!!!!

Brian&Ivy

you should add your timeline in signature to see what is your status.

so, I don't know your status, but in case you are F1 (OPT) to AOS, one thing I realized after I sent package and now I am waiting to see if it is an issue is:

wherever you add "copy of visa page from passport", add also "copy of I-20"

It is not listed, but if you are on OPT, it means y the VISA page in you passport IS EXPIRED, so your only valid visa proof is on I-20.

I actually added a copy of my I-20 somewhere in package, but not next to visa page, I am hoping they will find it.

[Mrs. JHH 3]

thanks buddy!!!! good luck with your interview!!!!!!!

Yep, I'll let you all know... I'm having butterflies in my stomach already!
