Thank you:)

congrats!!!

Alveoli, would you be so kind to ensure that your timeline is correct? Someone had a question regarding how your scan date and the date you mailed in your documents could be the same (12/28).

And although we've talked offline...you know that I couldn't be more any more happier for you! Congrats my friend???

During the petition stage, I read on the USCIS website's "General Tips on Assembling Applications for Mailing" page.

Would those tips still be helpful during the NVC stage? Anyone do any of these steps when submitting AOS and IV packets to NVC?

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/forms-and-fees/general-tips-assembling-applications-mailing

In preparing your packet, please take note of the following:
  • Do not use binders or folders that cannot be easily disassembled.
  • Use ACCO fasteners to hold together thick or bulky applications or petitions. Two-hole punching the top of the material for easy placement in the file is appreciated.
  • The use of tabs assist in locating items listed as attachments. The tabs should be placed on the bottom and not the side for ease in filing.
  • Avoid using heavy-duty staples; instead use ACCO fasteners or heavy clips.
  • Avoid submitting originals unless specifically required. Avoid submitting oversized documentation when possible.
