Cover letters are not required nor are necessary.

Do you have documentation for the waiver?

Waiver documentation yes. It's actually mentioned in my cover letter. That's why I think they're helpful.

I practice civil litigation. I can't think of an instance when we did not use a cover letter for correspondence with enclosures, which is what this is...

But thanks for your thoughts.

I missed the part where you said the approval was included.

You can do what you want. I'm just saying that they're not required nor necessary, especially since most people applying aren't lawyers.

Looks good otherwise.

Actually no. I just realized I'm missing the two photographs for the I-765 Application for Employment Authorization. Anything else I missed? Thanks!
