Using Staples on the forms

[andfp 14]

Hi. I'm assembling my AOS package and I have some forms with more than I page... for example I-130, I-485, I-131... I did staple them. Is that good or I shouldn't do it.

I'll appreciate if you guys give me tips in how do I put all together. For example tips using those ACCO fasteners.

Thank you.

When we submitted ours we did not staple them. They will put them in their own binders I did not want then to take things apart to put it where it needs to be. Just my two cents.

No staples.. Use paper clips good luck!

EVEN BETTER, and so stuff does not get lost::

Goto Office Depot: and buy an ACCHO fastener.. Basically, its those 2 silver tabs at the top of the pages that bend over on top of each other. Just use a 2-hole punch and grab a small box of those. You can also use paperclips, but not staples.

All my files got stapled, not a problem. Don't sweat over small things. Good luck

I used lots of paper clips to put together the multi-page forms. Then I fastened everything to an ACCO folder. And THEN I read that for this type of application, they don't want you to use an ACCO fastener. Well, it worked out fine, they didn't seem to mind.

Another option is to use those huge paper clips/clamps. I don't know how to describe them, they're usually black and huuuuuuge.

They're going to take them apart and sort the documents how they want anyway; stapling isn't a huge deal but you might as well make it easier for them and not do it.
