Please review my I130 & Other Forms [merged threads]

[shanneykar 18]

Visa Journey is awesome and with all recent questions, help from folks here, I have finally put together I130. I am reviewing rest of packets.

I am yet to decide on how to put the package together [ acco fasteners or just binder clips ] but I will post pics about that later.

If you can take few mins to review my cover letter that will be great. Thanks everybody in this community

*** Support documents marked with *** are not necessary I guess. Please let me know is it good to provide or better to remove.

Also if there is other document that I should remove or add please let me know.

Thanks guys.

After some research,help from this community, reading instructions from each form I decided to skip individual cover letter but just have only one. Also removed lots of unnecessary forms [ like State/Driver license ID, SSN copy of petitioner etc ] and duplicates.

I have posted my final checklist here. Please see if it helps you. As well review, comment if something you would like to add, remove.
