Hello everyone, 

First off I want to thank whoever created this website because VJ is a very useful source, it helped me a lot in preparing my application.

Can someone please help me double check the complete packet that I will send out next Monday (in 3 days). 

I was going to send it out today but thanks God I double checked again (the 10th time) and I found out I need 2 passport photos for the I-131 application too so I decided to wait until Monday.

Here is my background:

I'm an F-1 visa holder, came to the US in 2015, graduated high school in Orlando, moved to Texas for college and met my husband here.

We got married in April 2017, husband is in the military, getting deployed oversea in a week (yes I have to go to the interview by myself with his order)

Here is my cover letter include everything I will submit, can you please help me double check if I missed anything?

I would really appreciate it.
