IMO, A binder clip may be good.

Guys Just a update: Called NVC today they told me probably still a week to go before i can pay the the AOS and IV fees since my file was accepted on 10-26. I had actually called to to ask how long of a validity they would accept for a UK Police report and the agent told me a year. Also he told me that the medical can only be scheduled after the interview has been set , my wife is scheduled to get her medical this Thursday. She's going to call them up tomorrow and verify if it can be fore her interview date or not.

Besides that i have kinda lost the notion that she will be here for Christmas and kinda bummed about that, but like my wife says all good things happen in time.

I stapled mine to a separate piece of paper. Then I used a binder clip to put the total package together. Also remember to put the persons name date of birth and NVC # on the back of each photo in pencil.

Ok, everything all set to go at last. Final question: since I am sending both AOS and IV in one Express Mail packet (unless anyone thinks this is a bad idea - Loto?) should I send to "National Visa Center Attn. CMR AOS" as on the AOS cover page, or to "National Visa Center Attn. CMR" as on the IV cover page? I'm thinking the latter?

Thanks,

Jon
