What kind of binder/packet do I need to buy to mail out my I-129F

[Rick&Maeve 8]

I'm assembling all of my material to present with the K-1 petition and plan on going to Kinko's tomorrow and buying a nice binder/folder to separate all the categories and make the petition look very organized and easy to go through. I read they take the thing apart and put it back together and sometimes items get lost so I want to make it as easy as possible for them to read through my petition. Anybody have any suggestions?

I used a fastener to put together our application, two holes fastened on top of paperwork See http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextchannel=fe529c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextoid=ff053d146a7ee010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCRD .

I suggest you save your money and just hold things together with paperclips and one large clip to bind the whole thing together, if you wish. You can also 2 hole punch your documents and fasten them together that way as the assembly tips state to do. USCIS will take apart your paperwork and put it in their own folder in the way they like. Your binder will be discarded.

Still it is better to put them in some sort of semblance of an orderly presentation. Mistakes do get made at their end like losing a piece of paper for example. If you make their job of putting things in their order easier by making things easier to find for them, they are less likely to make such a mistake.

Paperclips. Don't waste your money.

I don't even think I bothered with paper clips. I just put everything in order in the order I had it on the cover sheet and off it went.

Paperclips and then one large clip is my suggestion.. they have to be able to easily take it apart/put it back in order if they need to.

My fiance used large paper clips. Just follow instruction on VJ to organize it. We have a plenty supporting documents ensembled into our I-129F and it worked since ours was approved. Good luck.

We didn't buy anything fancy, just put the papers in the same order as listed on the cover letter and used a couple of paper clips. I think getting a binder specifically to mail your case to them is kind of a waste of money, but hey it's completely up to you.

Just make sure you're sending every document needed and focus on the guidelines on here, that's all you need to worry about.

For each stage I have used one very large clip to hold it all together with the check on top and very easy to read. Then the cover letter and all the supporting documents just like I was filing my tax return. Do not waste your time or money on fancy binders as it will be used by some USCIS' child for a book report. Spend more time and effort making sure the information is correct, all documents are there, all documents needing signatures have them and the date signed. Organize it so it looks professional and that you care, but do not make their job harder by putting it into a binder or by using staples.

Good luck,

Dave
