I 751 package and documents

[mmdude 1]

Hi All, I am ready to send out my package with I 751 with evidence. I have the following questions:

1. I have included copy of birth certificate of our son born to the marriage as evidence. I was wondering if I need to get the copy certified / notarized? If yes, where can I get it done.
2. I have used paper clips to group documents together (like all utility bills together, all bank statements together). I am not using acco pront fasteners, hope that is ok?
3. Should I put all the documents in a folder or a plastic sleeve before putting them in the shipping envelope?
4. I am planning to use the USPS priority mail (which comes with signature confirmation and tracking). Is that ok? Do I need to insure tha package?

Also, please find below cover letter and advise for any changes, tips etc

Hello MMDUDE,

You do not need to notorize the birth certificate.

Paper clipping is fine.

You can use a file folder no plastic sleeve though and do not punch hole or staple

Just do a priority with delivery confirmation ( it's going to the po box there might not be some one to sign)

Evidence looks good

Include a copy of front and back of your GC

Include copies of few mails that shows both of your name with same address ( even separate ones)

Travel itinerary if you have travel together.

Make sure the documents cover the last 2 years or more.

Good Luck!
