Cover Letter and Content check before submission! I-130, I-485, AOS

[qiri 0]

Hi! We are about ready to submit, just have to get our photos and the medical form back from the civil surgeon! I was wondering if anyone wouldn't mind scanning over our cover letters to make sure things look OK and we arent missing anything. Hopefully they will be useful also to someone in the future. I am the USC and my husband is here on an E3 visa from Australia.

Quiri, it looks pretty good.

But why are you saying "Please kindly find enclosed form?"

Have you hidden some of the items and want the recipient to go on some sort of treasure hunt to try and find them?

What if they don't find what you have hidden?

Enclosed are forms . . . . .

Haha, good point! I think I copied that from some other cover letter but it does sound ridiculous. Thanks!
