Will you please review my cover letter?

That makes a lot more sense. Haven't gotten to the highlighted documents in my scanning process but thanks so much. I (like everyone) am really trying to avoid an RFE so thanks! I'll see if they are readable in black and white and color.

At least we know one more thing not to do to trip us up !!!

Yeah. For anyone else whos interested - I guess it depends on the type of highlighter cause mine work both fine in color and blank and white. I used the same one for all pages but one so Ill recheck that other page when I get to it.. weird.

If the application has to much "foo fla" they dont like it, i had it like yours, tabs, table of contents and they got mad and took everything apart. they will go though it fine without the tabs. you can put a table of contents, thats ok.

I know you want it to be perfect- but only send in what is needed :0

good luck!

Sounds like your packet was similar to mine. I highlighted things that were in my "supporting evidence" to help them find why I might have included it but nothing official, and I did tabs at the bottom as well. I also double holed punched at the top because I read somewhere that they assemble via top brackets and so I figured "why not?" Just do priority mail, nothing rushed. I was approved in 4 1/2 months with no RFE's. Good luck! I think it's a beautiful packet

Hey Everyone!

I am finally ready to send out our I-130 package and I am so excited about it. I've put my cover letter below and was hoping a few of you could look at it and tell me if it sounds ok and if I am missing anything.

Also, do I just mail this USPS and would do you recommend next day or anything like that?

I am going to put tabs at the bottom and just put one big clip on everything, is that alright?

Should I put a mini table of contents in front of each section or is the one in the front ok?

Thanks so much for all your help you guys!
