How should the petition be presented?

Hi everyone, so my fiance and I are about to start this process and I am wondering how the petition is to be assembled? Should it be put together in a folder with plastic sleeves, paper clipped etc. Thank you!

You should use paper clips, never binders or staples, unless you're stapling a cheque to an application.

For tips on filing applications with USCIS, please see General Tips on Assembling Applications for Mailing and Lockbox Facility Filing Tips.

The Lockbox service provider will assemble each application in the package in the correct processing order before it is scanned; however, we recommend customers assemble their packages in the following order:

• Check or money order.
• Form G-1145, Request for e-Notification (if applicable),
• Form G-28 (if applicable).
• Form being filed.
• Supporting documentation.

Put a cover letter as well. You can find examples on this site.
