we did include past 3 years of tax return papers....

Also DL because it is a state issued identity.....

Other than that, your packet looks great....

One suggestion and entirely up to you, write a cover letter and list all these items in it....

there is another thread here with ppl on both sides of topic, I agree that it is not required, but look at it from adjudicator's point of view who has to go through a pile of papers in each case day in n out.

the cover letter is a small token to make his/her job easier, plus its looks nice and show time taken to prepare the case....

just my 2 cents of course....

Thanks for the response. I will include 3 years of tax returns -they should have the other 2 years already but it won't hurt to include it. Thanks for the DL note - hadn't even thought of that but will include. Should it be me and hubbys DL then?

Noted on the cover letter and this was a cut and paste from the letter i had drafted - my bad for not mentioning. I totally agree on making it easier on them, after all the easier it is to process my package the quicker they can approve me and move onto someone else right?

Thanks again.

Put the little tear off card in the packet that you got when you received your initial greencard too.

Don't forget a copy of your green card front and back. I did a cover letter and I also attached sticky post-its on the first page (bottom) of each section of paperwork (using different colours) and wrote on them too eg., tax returns, insurance etc.,. Just an idea.....hope it helps.

You are all set. Good luck.

A copy of both yours and your spouse's DL should be included as further evidence of common (same) address.

Thanks again everyone... I am nervous because it feels like so long ago that I went through immigration stuff.

I went through my files again and have found some additional information that I will be including - hopefully enough that they don't give me an RFE.

Good luck and wishing your part of this journey a smooth one.
