AOS Check List (Cover Letter)

[BradLina 0]

Below is what my cover Letter will look like and was wondering if anything looks out of the ordinary or if I'm missing anything. I'm changing my name to my husbands last name so I put my soon to be new name (I presume that's what I do to stay consistent with the forms.

We filed an I-129F in 2013 and I entered on a K1 Visa in January 2014 and married at the end of February 2014.

It looks good. I ended up doing a separate cover letter for each form because trying to have it all in one was going over a page.

My only concern about your documentations is only having the tax transcripts for 2013. I believe you need the past 3 years. If you can get 2012 and 2011 transcripts that would be good.

I read you only need to submit your most recent the last 2 are optional. I did put my salaries of those years on the form, but wasn't going to submit the transcripts and instead just the most recent like it said.
