No advice because I didn't do a concurrent filing....and most of that stuff I did file for was several years ago so I don't want to give you any outdated advice...I'm sure others will be along to comment who have more current advice documentation-wise.

 

But I'm just trying to imagine how THICK your application package must look!  Wow.  Good luck with your filing!

Can I confirm that it's OK just to include one copy of each attachment, even if multiple forms request it? (So, you can just have one copy of your passport, and refer to it multiple times in your cover letter?) Thanks!

Plenty of people get RFEs for exactly that.  Include a separate copy for each form that requires it.  Some forms will be processed by different offices by definition, like the I-765 (NBC) vs. I-485 (your local field office).

I would include a copy with every application. I would also bind every application separately with all required attachments. Use a binder clip or something.

Thanks, both of you! Is it important for all documents to be single-sided? Both the official forms and the supporting materials (e.g. copies of bank statements)?

Do I need to include G-325A ON  my concurrent filing?

I also filed my adjustment of status I-485 concurrently. If you want to see my full experience, it's been documented here: https://diysimpleidea.blogspot.com/2019/02/diy-i-485-adjustment-of-status-2019.html
