Did you use ACCO fasteners?

[Yagisama 93]

I contemplated using ACCO fasteners for my 129-F and then again for AOS, but I never did so.

Now that I'm starting to put together our ROC package and I'm tempted to actually get my hands on these ACCO fasteners.

However, one issue was that the General Tips page blow encouraged the two hole punching and using the ACCO fasteners, yet the NBC page dissuaded their use.

Plus the fasteners come in different lengths so one worry I had was to punch holes that are incompatible with what USCIS uses. However, when I search here I see that many applicants used the fasteners with no issue.

So I wanted to check what size applicants here used. I came to the conclusion that the 2 3/4-Inch variant is what would be needed.

Does this look like the correct size?

You're over-sweating this. Send the pages loose, and let them organize everything their way.
