suggestions for changes

[AtariBaby 17]

If you guys don't mind, I'll post suggestions for the guides I'm reading, namely contradictory information and broken links.

Problem here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/assembly <-----Says to use ACCO fasteners yet many forumites disagree and there is even official advice against it: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=72a927c382f39110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCRD&vgnextchannel=fe529c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

On your AOS guide page, i-693 link is a broken link. http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

3. Take the following steps to avoid delays in processing applications or petitions through the Chicago Lockbox.

• Do NOT send original passports or other valuable personal documents. Make sure that copies of original passports or personal documents are made on standard white letter-sized paper (8.5” x 11”)
  
• Use paperclips when attaching supporting personal documents to forms (do NOT use “ACCO” fasteners; staples are acceptable when attaching fees).
  
• If a payment is submitted, attach it to the first primary application or petition by paper clip or staple, and make sure the name of the applicant is indicated on the payment document (i.e., in the memo field). IMPORTANT: If more than one application is filed using a single check, and any of the forms are found to be improperly filed, ALL forms will be rejected.
  
• Make checks or money orders payable to “U.S. Department of Homeland Security.”
  
• Always use the same name and the same version of the name on all forms that pertain to the same person (I-485, I-765, I-131, etc.).
  
• In the address section of any document, the “care of” line is for names only, such as an attorney, firm/organization, or a building. Do not put a street address in the “care of” section.
  
• “Place of Birth” always means country of birth.
  
• Include the date of birth on all forms in the designated field in MM/DD/YYYY format.
  
• The applicant or petitioner must sign each application or petition submitted.
  

Interesting.

On your AOS guide page, i-693 link is a broken link. http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

Thanks for this. I asked Ewok to attach the link to the information page at USCIS leading to the form. For the record, I found it here I-693

Thanks for the feedback. I'll make the updates as suggested .

Actually, the Chicago lockbox says not to, but the general filing instructions still list ACCO as a preferred method.\

I am updating to list your info in reference to the Chicago lockbox.

Just checking back in on this. It looks like all the issues were addressed. The I-693 link now connects to the VJ forms library and USCIS blank form. I am locking the thread. Please post up any other failed links or problems with the guides, or report them to Ewok directly.
