Thanks.

We did joint filing. So we have both of our names ( Petitioner + Beneficiary) in the cover letter. Is that a problem ?

No , actually that make sense. Infact, we are also going to do joint filling. But My question is sending it . You or Petitioner ? I guess the person who send the documents will get notifications from RFE .

I see. We actually have both of our names on the USPS package.

Don't know why we submitted two G-1145 thinking one for I-130 (petitioner's name ) and one for I-485 (beneficiary's name). I hope I didn't complicated my case and hope USCIS just pick either of us

[ramu2012 23]

The petitioner filed the I-130 and the beneficiary files I-485, I-131 and I-765. If you are sending them all together, I don't think it matters who's name is on the return address

Just curios, if "

• Letter from petitioner’s father acknowledging marriage"11

is there a particular format for this letter?

[X & Z 4]

This is what we submitted. Basically you need to have few things in the letter as the USCIS says

1. D.O.B and Place of birth of the person

2. Address

3. Relation with the Petitioner/beneficiary

RE Bona Fide of Marriage: Letter from relative acknowledging the marriage and co-mingling between the petitioner and beneficiary

To whom it may concern:

My name is FIRST LAST. I was born MONTH DATE, YEAR in COUNTRY. Currently I am a citizen of the United States, residing at ADDRESS, STATE.

I personally know the petitioner, FIRST LAST, and the beneficiary, FIRST LAST, as they are my daughter and son-in-law. I know that they were married last year on DATE in MARRIAGE PLACE.

I know that FIRST LAST married FIRST LAST in good faith and they live together as husband and wife in CITY. My wife, mother of the FIRST LAST, has visited them at their CITY residence sometime ago in YEAR.

I declare under the penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
