How to send 129-F - use binder or no?

[JQ85 0]

I know this sounds ridiculous, but when I watch people who make "I129-F" Youtube videos - their packets are nice and organized in a binder.... To my knowledge, you can't send a binder... What do you guys recommend if I have a lot of pictures etc??

I had the same questions when i was doing mine.

Do not use staples just use paperclips for each section.

Use zip lock bags for pictures, i did this for my passport photos. For evidence photos i just went to FedEx store and printed out color photos on regular paper. 2 or 3 photos per page but you can also put evidence photos in a zip lock bag.

Once you have everything assembled use a large binder clip to hold everything together. (clips for each section like I-129F and so on and a binder clip to hold all the sections together)

Go to the post office and stuff the packet into whatever envelope fits it and send.

I did this for all of my USCIS documents. Hope it helps

Asked many times here. You surely can send your documents in a binder. And as soon as they receive it and start sorting the paperwork it will be tossed in the trash. Save your money. Neatly stack the papers in order of your cover letter and place in a large envelope. That's all they need.

I may have used a couple paper clips. I sent 5 photos colored copied onto white photocopy paper with dates, names, and location written on the paper. Don't make it difficult for yourself.

Good Luck!

This is exactly what I did also

One paper clip for each of the bullets on the cover letter (a binder clip if paper clip was too small) and one big binder clip to hold it all together.

To make it nicely separated and clear what is what I put a cover page with large letters in front of each section outlined in the cover letter with the exact same order and section headings.

Much luck assembling TS!

Use the 2-hole punch and put in a folder.

This is from their website: ""Two-hole punching the top of the material for easy placement in the file is appreciated.""

You want USCIS to appreciate your work or no?
