The cover letter template found on VJ shows only the signature of the US Citizen spouse. Is that all is required. I was thinking it would be good if both of us sign the letter since it is a joint petition.

Anyone sent with both signatures??

Thanks.

I never noticed that about the example. Seems odd to me, as the application is solely the alien's. My hubby signed his - I did not (I'm the USC).

Depends on what the cover letter is for. Is it for ROC? Adjustment of Status? Visa petition?

We sent ours with both signatures, as I sent I-130 with my wife's AOS.

The USCIS will do a federal background check, regardless if it is beneficiary or petitioner... So, we didn't mind having both signatures on the cover letter. :unsure:

The sample letter is addressed by the USC spouse - if your cover letter is addressed by the GC holder, then your signature will be needed.... however, you can use the "we" and "our" pronouns and at the bottom both signatures can be added....

simple.

Both of us signed it since it is a joint application, but I also did not use the cover letter from here.

It's only joint in the sense that the alien is removing conditions based on the ongoing marriage to the USC. But it is ONLY the alien's application.

AOS is filed by the petitioner only.

ROC is filed jointly by petitioner and beneficiary.

N-400 is filed by the beneficiary only.

Thus, the cover letter of the I-751 and the introduction should clearly state that both petition jointly, and thus both will sign jointly.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Yes, the alien and USC spouse both sign the I 751 in the event you are filing jointly. Our cover letter did state that the filing was based on our marriage, but I didn't sign that letter. Clearly it's fine if both do sign the letter, but it's not a requirement.
