I-751 DOCUMENTS HOLE-PUNCHED

[Sanctus1 9]

Hi Guys !

 

Just a quick question. Getting ready to arrange my documents for mailing and a kind of confused on how to attach the Avery Tab Dividers to my documents. Do I need to make two hole punches on the tab and each document attaching with the tab ( for instance: marriage certificate, car title, insurances etc)

Thanks guys

do not bother with tab dividers and no hole punching, everything will be disassembled and scanned into the system

just put a cover letter on top which clearly identifies all the documents enclosed along with the order

I used paper clips to assemble my papers together..

I top-punched (two-hole) and used Acco fasteners.  I had five sections, and had a cover page on each section with a Table of Contents.  Yes, your packages will be dis-assembled and scanned in.  I personally felt that the Acco fasteners kept any lose papers from falling out and getting "lost". YMMV.

 

At one point (before scanning), USCIS preferred the two-hole punch/Acco fasteners.  Hopefully soon, we will be able to send documents electronically, and it won't matter any more!

So assembling them in order of the cover sheet, and securing them with a large binder clip will work?  That's what I plan to do....

Don't overthink it.  Include a cover sheet and keep them in the order that you listed them out to make it easier.  Then use a large clip to keep everything from falling all over the place.

I used the acco fasteners, presentation pages and tabs on each, it was accepted 🙆🏽‍♀️ I followed the instructions on the forms to the t, plus cover letter with contents. Good luck 👍🏽🍀

I think two hole punch is allowed based on the uscis form filing tips.  Thanks guys

When I did mine the instructions was clear as to what you can and can not use to keep them in order I do not know how much of this has changed in a year but read the instructions carefully and clear
