It looks nice and neat but it's not really necessary since they are going to remove and throw the file anyways.

They will want to file your documents in their own file and in their own way.

Looks great but I'd recommend putting your photos in clear ziploc baggies and attaching the baggies to a blank sheet of paper that goes behind the corresponding G325A. Also I wouldn't keep your papers in those laminated sleeves. I followed the advice of seasoned VJ'ers and two-hole punched the top of every sheet of paper in my application packet and used the ACCO fasteners. That makes it very easy for anyone working on your case file to easily remove papers for copying, etc.

Good luck and Godspeed! =)

no don't punch holes in your documents and other papers no binders no folders. just keep it neat use a large clamp on top when your file gets to the uscis it's all taken apart and put their way any binders or folders would be put in trash.

I guess but the binders are important to keep the documents together in order. I know they throw everything away to make there own folder but speeding up there process helps others.

This is the best advice presented in this thread.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I know a lot of effort was put into these binders, but in all honesty, binder clamps would be a lot better. It would actually make things a lot more accessible and easier for the person processing the application. I'm sure for the person opening up tens of applications a day the last thing they want to do is have to go and dismantle folders and throw a bunch of stuff away.

To be fair, I had a folder for my 129F application, and all the junk inside actually slowed us down in the Tokyo Embassy. For the AOS and ROC I kept it simple with cover pages and binder clips.

Also while the handwritten labels would be fine for personal records, in my opinion they would come across as sloppy in a professional setting.

Is there any other way then handwritten labels? :o

Sure, I use a label maker to mark all my boxes and files at home, but then I'm a little neurotic when it comes to being organised. :P

For I-129F filing purposes though, I don't think you need to label the individual forms and separate them. You have a cover page - just put the documents in the order they're listed on the cover page and clamp all the pages together. Plus you stand a greater chance of someone losing your papers if they have to disassemble your package, pull each page out of the plastic sleeves and put them all back together again.

Flying to Seattle on 6 May 2014!
