I remember reading somewhere that they do not want staples. So I used paperclips. The only thing I staples was the clear plastic bag that held the photo to a sheet of paper then paperclipped that paper to the appropriate G-325A form. Hope that helps! Good Luck with your journey and nothing wrong with being #######! LOL

General Tips on Assembling Applications for Mailing

In preparing your packet, please take note of the following:

Do not use binders or folders that cannot be easily disassembled.

Use ACCO fasteners to hold together thick or bulky applications or petitions. Two-hole punching the top of the material for easy placement in the file is appreciated.

The use of tabs assist in locating items listed as attachments. The tabs should be placed on the bottom and not the side for ease in filing.

Avoid using heavy-duty staples; instead use ACCO fasteners or heavy clips.

Avoid submitting originals unless specifically required (Forms I-94, Labor certifications, etc). Avoid submitting oversized documentation when possible.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in your application or petition being delayed or denied.

We didn't staple a thing nor use fastners or cover letter. I put everything in order, did use a paperclip to whole the pictures and check. Sent it off with a kiss and a prayer and it worked. I did worry over everything and I think that is pretty normal.

Good Luck!

hmm now what is an ACCO fastener and where do i get it hahahah :P

:lol::lol:

i found them ;)

thanks!!

An ACCO fastener requires that you use a two-hole punch that punches the paper at the TOP. The fastener is a metal thing that goes through the holes in each page and binds them all together. You can get it from any stationary store.

Yes, it is important that you use N/A where it applies, and NONE where it applies. Using the wrong one in the wrong place WILL get you an RFE - or they will reject the petition outright.

They are ridiculously picky.
