Hi all VJ friends!!!
After working so hard for 2 weeks (with all the help from all of you ), I believe I have ALL the documents ready for I-485 and I-130. Now the question is: how do I organize all the documents in one package??? My husband filled out the I-130 and I filled out the I-485, will send them all in one package. I am going to send out tomorrow morning through USPS Express Mail.
QUESTIONS: Should I put paper clips to separate each forms? OR I should put 1 giant paperclip for I-130, 1 for I-485, 1 for I-765, and 1 for I-131.
Or, the I-20, should I staple all of them together? and the photos for G-325A, should I staple on the blank paper and put at the back of G-325A??
Little info. about me:
F-1 student ---> graduated ---> OPT ----> back to school ---> OPT (expiring Jan'09) ---> married to my husband 3 weeks ago
If you guys don't mind, please check the following documents I have prepared! THANKSSSSS!!!
