Mailed mine on Friday and was received today. I am a bit over 60 days into the 90 day window. Page count was 304, all statements (except the advertisement/junk pages), 2016 taxes, 4 leases, car lease, etc.

I need a few quick pointers since we used an attorney for AOS and we're not using one for ROC. What's the best way to attach documents together (like bank statements)? Staples or paper clips? 
When compiling the entire packet, should we use any sort of bulk fastener or will that just irritate the people reviewing our file? Trying to avoid any unnecessary RFEs and make the reviewer's life easier. Any tips are much appreciated. Thank you.

For my package, I attached each month's statement together with a paperclip. I did the same for each month for checking, savings, and CC statements. 

I placed each exhibit in it's own file folder, and used a binder clip to hold the file folder together. You can see what I included in each exhibit on one of the prior pages.

@sidshwsito  @tomriesgoCan I have your NOA Date please? Thanks.

Well, I have my NOA-1 letter - only thing I wish is they would spell out a few more details as to what it means "Your residence status is extended for 1 year" - like saying it is from the expiration date of the green card etc. Letter is kind of vague - though at least the first sentence spells out one is allowed travel and employment.   Biometrics letter next!   Updating below:   California Service Center (8 applicants, 0 approved - 0%)

DON'T use staples! Paper clips or acco clip fasteners are preferred.

Here is the official page from USCIS about tips for filing your paperwork;

Correct, that is the latest form. It was updated around 20-ish December, I remembered it because I was using the old form and noticed the updated version when they uploaded and changed it right away.

 

My form expires 12/31/2019

[Henley1989 10]

Hey everyone. I plan to submit my package by the end of the week. Curious if anyone can advise if I still need the signed affidavit from friends if I have the below evidence:

 

 

- Marriage and baby birth certificates

- Joint lease from apartment and most recent renewal

- Multiple statements from the last 2 years for joint Checking/Savings/Credit Card accounts

- Joint insurance evidence - Car/Medical/Dental/Renters

- 2 Years joint tax return transcripts/W2's/401k Beneficiary evidence

- Joint flight bookings for various trips

- Pictures from all those trips

I'd also include a copy of each of your DL showing same address.

For the tax filings, are these the IRS tax transcripts that you are sending? If they are not, make sure they have the IRS stamp, or something showing they were actually filed.

In addition to the bank certification, might be a good idea to show that it is being used (print offs of statements once per quarter from time you moved to US/account opened). Shows that you have both been using it.

I didn't do any affidavit's for my package, and my evidence looks similar to yours. 

I would include copy of drivers license for you both showing same address as well. And if there are any utilities that are in both names (water, electric, etc.) showing the same address, you could include those statements as well.
