Hi everybody,

How should I assemble my I129F Package? I know USCIS advises to use ACCO fasteners, but is it OK to punch my documents? If I use ACCO, i have to punch every document, and I'm not sure if I should do that. Or should I just use mini-clips, paper clips and a big clip to hold the whole petition? What do you suggest?

Use one big clip to hold it all together with the check on top followed by the cover letter and then the application. Then it is up to you how you want to organize it. I put the documents in the order I listed them on the cover letter so I could see that I did not forget anything. Let the person who gets your file have the ability to easily organize your documents as they see fit.

Good luck,

Dave

I found that using ACCO fasteners was a pretty convenient way of holding the massive packet together. I had the cover letter on top of the main packet (the check on top) with a table of Annexes for every application and tabs on the bottoms for easy access. It depends on what you prefer as long as it is complete and well organized.

whichever way keeps your petition together until it gets received by uscis. once it gets there, they prepare it their own way anyway

I used one big clip for the entire package, and mini paperclips for everything listed in the cover page to make sure it was separated. I also put sticky notes on each page mentioned in the cover letter to explain what it was.
