Last minute questions. Getting ready to mail in AOS application.

1. Does each piece of evidence (attachment) need to be stapled together? E.g., do 15 pages of passport need to be attached together?

2. Does each piece of evidence (attachment) need to be sign & dated? E.g., do the 15 pages of passport need to have a signature? How about the blank/back sides of things (like birth certificates)?

3. Does it matter that we wrote the non-PO Box address on all of our cover pages, but we then decide to mail it through USPS with the PO Box address?

E.g., we wrote:

USCIS
FBAS
131 South Dearborn-3^rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603-5517

on all of our cover pages. But we actually want to mail it to:

USCIS
P.O. Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120

4. Finally, is there anything we should try to add to the OUTSIDE of the envelope when mailing? Like a note on the fold: Joint AOS I-130, I-485, I-765 application (or something similar).

THANK YOU VJ! You're all the best.

I would like to know the answer to these questions as well. As long as I know, we can have a cover note with each form stating what all documents we are sending. So all docs have to send to the same address :

USCIS

P.O. Box 805887

Chicago, IL 60680-4120

1. Avoid stapling. Use paper clips or binder clips. The receiving personnel will reassemble the contents of your package according to their protocol.

2. Only forms and letters that require signatures need to be signed.

3. Doesn't matter at all.

However, on the label of the outside envelope (in which you mail everything), put "Original I-485" (etc., as you say) where it can be seen. That's a very good thing to do.
