Are ACCO fasteners suggested?

[luis_bici_ 4]

We're planning on sending a fastened packet- like I sent in for the I-129F. Are ACCO fasteners suggested for this packet? Also, how do I attach the sealed envelope to the packet? Staple it? Paper clip it? Gracias

We submitted our AOS packet fastened with ACCO just like we did with our I-129F petition. We clipped the sealed I-693 on a blank piece of paper.

Good luck .

The package, once in their hands, will be reassembled to their own preferences.

It's most efficient on your end and theirs simply to use paper clips or binder clips.

From the USCIS Website--

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.
