staples or paperclips?

[Jose&Karolina 5]

i know im being soo crazy with every little detail even my fiance tells me it but i need to do everything as perfect as possible. lol.

my question is should i use staples to separate my pages or should i group relevent items with easy to remove paper clips?

and a question about how to attach your pictures to show proof. should i do like my passport picture and put it in a ziplock bag and then attach it to a blank page or what id the norm for sending pictures?

thanks in advance

Paper clips, paper clips, paper clips! I never suggest using staples. Paper clips are the easiest thing to remove; staples not so much.

As for pictures (whatever the size), I always suggest putting them in a Ziploc bag, then stapling the bag to a blank page. Include the page with photos somewhere in the package.

"Use ACCO fasteners to hold together thick or bulky applications or petitions. Two-hole punching the top of the material for easy placement in the file is appreciated."

This is what i used http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Standard-Capacity-100-Pack-A7070023H/dp/B00006IBJW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1366407499&sr=8-3&keywords=acco+2+hole+fastener

I used paperclips for grouping sets of forms and then one heavy duty binder clip to keep it all together.

that is exactly what i was thinking. thank you. i have another question regarding blank spaces. i filled out the forms as per the examples and there are a fewspaces left completely blank. but i was reading that you shouldnt leave anything blank. which is correct?

[A&P_Germany 8]

If the question did not apply to me I used "N/A" or "None" depending on the wording of the question.

However, I not been approved yet so it's not like anything I said will guarantee you will not get an RFE. I have filled out government forms before and always put N/A or none or I did the same.

Re-read what I bolded. Paperclips are fine for sets of items and/or if the package is on the thinner side. But yes, if it's think, paper clips probably won't be able to hold it together, so ACCO fasteners or those binder clips would work.

Use paper clips, they usually set out everything on their desks and it will be easier to look at. For the pictures I will be using a thicket paper then stapling 2 , 4 by 6 photos in one 1 sheet then writing place, date etc on the bottom with a black marker.

We didn't use paper clips will that be bad?

What did you use?

You're not going to get a RFE for using staples or something! There's no mandatory way of putting together a package! What's important is sending all the forms and documents needed.

[Arinlars 19]

Staples.

[Saylin 1,605]

Staples.

Not a big deal. They'll just have to spend a few more seconds on your case removing the staples.
