Concurrent Filing (Spouse) Done! - Sharing my Cover letter

[Henmoh 2]

First of all, a big thanks to VJers for providing such a user-friendly and reliable community to Green Card applicants. I have greatly benefited from your posts and felt confident to prepare and submit my application with ease. Hoping for the best!

My husband is USC and I am the Alien Spouse and adjusting from Tourist visa. Hope you find my cover letter useful. Pardon the formatting issues due to copy pasting. A lot of the documents with the Affidavit of Support were required because my husband needed to prove his domicile in the US. You may not require all of that.
