please look over my concurrent filing cover letter!

[hwandhw 7]

I've been working for several weeks on my AOS - I am currently an F-1 student on OPT and I got married to my husband this march!

 

I would so appreciate it if any of you would be gracious enough to look over my cover letter - I looked over each of the instructions for the forms many many times and comparing with other concurrent filers' cover letters on VJ, but I was getting confused as I saw how some people attached what seemed like extra forms (passport pages where it didn't ask for one, etc). I'll attach those things if necessary but what I have on my cover page are the things that I gathered from reading over the instructions. If I've missed anything, please let me know!

 

Also one question - is it okay if I put just one copy of the G1145 and one copy of G1450 that charges $1760 which includes I485 and I130 filing fees into one? I've seen some differing opinions and it was getting confusing.. .

 

Thanks so much all! 🙂

my cover letter stated the forms i was submitting. Pretty much that was it.

 

i did not list out every item and piece of supporting evidence in it.

 

NOA 1 was received 1 week after mailing.

Good to know, thanks! I think I'm getting a little too paranoid about just the cover page. 🤣
