Hi,

I'm getting ready to send my I-485 and my husband's I-130 for me, as well as I-765 for me. Any final tips I should know before sending? Just wondering if anyone who's already been through this part of the process has any pearls of wisdom or "remember to..." advice?

Thanks guys!!

No really any 'pearls of wisdom' but my 2 cents worth ...

1. Make sure all the forms are filled out completely

2. Make sure all the backup documentation is included

3. Make sure the correct amount of payment is included

4. Make sure to send the package to the correct address

I assume you are not filing the I-131 Advance Parole document?

Beyond that, welcome to the queue once you mail the packet off smile.png
