We set up the cover letter so they could easily see the list of applications and support documents, etc. Everything inside was in order to the list. The applications (AOS, AP, EAD) were seperated from each other with post-it tabs with the application type written at the top to be in view. My husband even post-it tabbed his passport pages with entries into the US! Here is the letter:

Some other notes:

My husband already had an SS# as he was here previously on a J1 work visa.

Photos were put into ziplock bags with white labels on them with his name, A# and SS# (this info was also written on the back of the photos). I used the white labels cuz writing doesn't really show up on the clear plastic.

We almost sent in the DS-3025 instead of the I-693A due to difficulty finding a reasonably priced CV, but then thought better of it and got the I-693A done. I got the feeling sending the DS-3025 would scream RFE, even though some people have gotten through with only the 3025.

The copies of employer and bank letters were from our K-1, supported with current documents. I couldn't deal with getting updated letters for the I-864.

I really think the best we did for it was the organization. I think it makes their job easier and in some way they appreciate it. We were approved by CSC (transfer) w/o an interivew! I hope this helps you and good luck!

Cheers,
