AOS: i-130 and i-485: Checklist and coverletter

[mmdude 1]

Hi All.

I came to U.S on F1 Visa in August 2007. I finished my Masters in Dec 2009. I am currently on OPT (Optional Practical Training) and have an EAD valid upto June 2012 and am currently working. I got married in U.S in June 2011 to a US citizen (My wife became a US citizen by naturalization in April 2011)

I am now applying for AOS by submitting i-130 and i-485 (along with I-693, I-864 and also I-765 and I-131)

My application package is ready to go out. I have included below my main overall cover letter and also cover letters for each form individually. Please take a look at the documents I am including and let me know if I am missing out on anything.

Also tell me if I need to change the cover letter in any way.

Thank you all in advance.
