USCIS will pull the contents apart and arrange it as they prefer, anyway. Just make sure that the petition package is complete.

Edited to add: To be precise (which is important throughout this process), we're referring to the "I-129F petition," rather than to a "K-1."

Edited by TBoneTX

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

When I sent mine, I put it in the order indicated, but I ALSO wrote the surnames at the bottom of every page (in case they get separated). I highlighted names & dates on supporting documents. And I put post-it-notes to indicate each part of the application.

Then I clipped the whole thing into a manila folder, only attaching the paper clip to the back page so it opens somewhat like a book, and put the names on the front cover.

Hi all,

You've all been extremely helpful. Now, one of my final questions for this phase of the K1...

What is the best way to organize the packet?

Cover letter with check on top. Only use paper clips and binder clips. Mail in USPS Priority Tyvek envelope to Texas address.

Phil (Lockport, near Chicago) and Alla (Lobnya, near Moscow)

As of Dec 7, 2009, now Zero miles apart (literally)!

Get it all in an envelope and mail it. When it arrives it is disassembled and placed into a USCIS folder in the way they want it. It will look like everyone else's in short order before being sealed in a box to await it's turn to be adjudicated

And based on that advice, I would say putting your names on every page will help... maybe :)
