Recommended Binders

[tmrtng 6]

Hello everyone!

Hope you all are having a great weekend.

I have started assembling my ROC package, going to file it in the beginning of July.

According to USCIS instructions, it's preferable to put the evidence into top 2 ring binders. We have searched in Office Depot, Staples stores, also checked Amazon. None of them had anything what we were looking for.

Can anyone give me a tip where we can get top 2 ring binders (online, store)?

Thank you.

Tanya.

Don't bother with the binders, they would only be discarded once the file was received and before any adjudicator would see it.

Just use binder clips to clip things together and let USCIS assemble it to their own liking once they have it.

Tanya,

They are not talking about 2-ring BINDERS. They are talking about binder clips made by "ACCO". Google "ACCO" and you will see what they mean.

I agree - it SOUNDS like they mean the kind of hard binders like what we think of 3-ring binders, but they don't. Get yourself an inexpensive two-hole punch, and a small box of ACCO "binders". You will be organized like a dream!

I would not put any more effort into this.

Okay, then. Thank you very much. We thought it was more complicated.

We were about going to get one of these: http://www.staples.com/Bindertek-975-Specialty-Binders-Black-TFSLN-BK/product_1935668

I know people like to be organized, but there is no need to buy anything, or to even punch holes. Do NOT spend any more time or money on things like this for USCIS, unless it gives you some kind of special joy or something. A big stack of papers with a rubber band is FINE. You don't get extra points for using ACCO.

Go with something like this http://www.staples.com/Acco-2-Piece-Premium-Steel-Fasteners-Complete-Unit-8-1-2-inch-Prong/product_103770

Don't waste the money. USCIS will throw them in the garbage.

[NikLR 13,232]

I used binder and paper clips to organize my stuff because I already had them but as Harpa mentioned, a rubber band probably would work too. Just don't hand in a bunch of loose papers and you should be fine.

As everyone is saying, do not waste anymore money on this. I just put mine together and it was thick and just stuck it in the envelope and sent it off. They pull it apart once they receive it anyways.

[Ortolan 381]

Just clip your stuff together coherently and use cover pages on each, telling what it is. Easy-peasy.

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

Loose papers are also fine. I have read the USCIS mail room instructions and those dudes are detailed and thorough! They open the envelope on 3 sides, for instance.

OOOH - Harpa! Where did you get that reading material? I'd LOVE to be able to read USCIS and NVC manuals! <grin>

Thank you everyone for your help. This coming weekend we'll go and get some fasteners. The closer July, the more anxious I get ))))

Oooh! I'd like to know too - where did you get that reading material? (And more importantly, is it still available?)
