ROC cover letter from US citizen spouse?

[kandikandi 31]

Hi all,

 

I am hoping that someone can clear up this confusing tidbit as I am preparing my 1-751 package to be sent out in about 2 months time.  

 

During the K1-visa and AOS process, we understood that our US citizens fiances and spouses were the "petitioners".  As I filled out the I-751, I've realized that the immigrant spouse (myself) is regarded as the "petitioner" and very little is required of the US citizen spouse besides basic information.

 

The VJ cover letter template for ROC however is written from the perspective of the US citizen spouse, who, from the information required on the forms etc, is largely secondary in this entire ROC process.  Is this confusing to anyone else?  If I didn't see this template I would have written a cover letter and signed it myself.

 

Just making sure this wasn't a little oversight.  thank you all!

Since the cover letter is not required at all but simply something that is suggested to be done to help USCIS get through your case easily and to potentially give context, it doesn't matter. It doesn't even need a signature, it's not an official document really. I have never written a cover letter at any stage of the process and the had no RFEs or any delays. So, what you did was perfectly fine.

The cover letter we had simply stated what the package was being sent in for and a list of the contents. That was about it.
