We are almost ready to send our concurrent filing in (I-130 & I-485) . . . just waiting for the medical examination papers to come back from the doc, and it has just struck me that I have no idea how this should be put together and presented. Does it need to be placed in a file or folder like a plastic folder from Walmart or something? How should the papers be put together? Simply stapled together in order as per the covering letter? I'd appreciate any advice. There must be a right way or at least a preferred way to present all the papers I'm guessing. Many thanks.

You could just use a paper clip or if the stack is too big use a binder clip. I would keep the stacks together. i.e. all the 130 papers clipped together, all the 485 together and so on...

Then put the papers in a large padded envelope for mailing. Or if sending via FedEx put everything in the FedEx mailer. IMO, staples might more of an annoyance for the person separating the paperwork.

For me, I went really simple and stapled each application individually and stuck the whole thing into an overnight envelope. I think I did a sticky note on the top one that said "AOS from F-1 to permanent resident" or something.

They like to organize the papers their own way, so I wouldn't bind them together with anything more than a clip.

Day 0 - 2 May 2012 Mailed AOS package overnight delivery
Day 139 - 17 September 2012 Interview & APPROVED on the Spot!! :)
Day 145 - 23 September 2012 Received Green Card!

ROC - Eligible June 19 2014

Day 0 - 18 June 2014 Mailed ROC package via 2 day priority

Day 42 - 29 July 2014 Approval and Card Production Email

Day 49 - 5 August 2014 Received Green Card

Multiple pages (page 1, 2, etc) I paper clipped together and each separate package (I-130, AOS, EAD, and AP) were binder clipped. I placed a tab at the bottom of each form as a separator in each of the packages. On the tab I wrote the form name.

Each package had a cover letter (there are some really good examples on VJ) that served as a table of contents. I listed the forms in bold text and its supporting documents as an attachment under it.

I then use a huge binder clip to hold all 4 together. On the outside of the envelope I wrote "ORIGINAL SUBMISSION".

The I-693 was rather awkward since it was in a huge manila envelope sealed instead of being folded in a business size envelope. It definitely stood out.
