Hello VJ members,

I just completed the list of documents and added it to cover letter. Right now, my cover letter is longer than a page because along with long list, I am also including few explanations (1-2 lines) like why we don't have any mortgage/rent together or why we don't have any health insurance document together for 2011 when we've it for 2009-2010.

I don't have unusually long list but I wonder if I should just separate out list into a cover letter and then include another letter explaining why we don't have certain documents?

Here is the list I've:

1. Form I-751 signed by the petitioner and spouse

2. Check of $590.00 for application fee

3. Copy of petitioner’s green card

4. NCDMV issued driver’s license of both petitioners

5. Marriage certificate (copy)

6. Joint checking and savings bank account statements

7. Joint Federal tax return transcript for 2008 and 2009 and copy of our 2010 joint US tax return

8. Joint NC State Tax Return for the year 2008, 2009, and 2010

9. 401(k) plan beneficiary forms of the petitioner showing spouse as the beneficiary

10. Beneficiary Designation Form for the 401(k) plan of spouse showing petitioner as one of the beneficiary

11. Group Life/Travel Accident Insurance Policies of spouse showing petitioner as one of the beneficiary

12. petitioner’s HSA Beneficiary document showing spouse as the beneficiary

13. petitioner’s employment benefits for the year 2011 showing spouse as beneficiary

14. Joint stock account statements for the year 2009 and 2010.

15. Car insurance renewal notice of the petitioner showing spouse as a driver

16. Joint 2010 Health/Dental Insurance documents

a. 2010 Dental Insurance claim history

b. 2010 Health Insurance benefit and statements

d. Hospital bills showing spouse as Guarantor and the petitioner as patient.

17. Joint Sam's and AAA membership

18. Copy of Discover and MasterCards cards showing a joint credit card account

19. Joint cell phone bills

20. Three sworn affidavits by mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and a friend, attesting to our relationship and marriage

21. Airline tickets, rental car receipts, hotel receipts, and entrance tickets, etc for vacation/trips to PlaceX, PlaceY, and PlaceZ

22. Pictures of vacation and with friends/family

23 Invitation card to our names.

Also, let me know if I should add anything in this list.

Honestly I don't think it matters how you do it. Whatever is the most readable is probably best, but either way they will figure it out. Good luck! :)

“Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life’s cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another, you have only an extemporaneous half-possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him.” — Emerson

You could write the cover letter on one page and list your evidence on a second page and note it as an enclosure under your signature on the cover letter, same as business or legal correspondence.
