Just curious. What will be included in the 15 pages?  We are filing this week and want to include only the necessary items. Thanks!  

And here is a decent sample of a cover letter:

Change the evidence based on what your have. 

I'd skip the affidavits

These times are certainly unusual. Slightly off-topic but we are currently seeing (over on the citizenship boards) cases being approved with interview or civics/English tests.

Now you're someone who understood the message. 

 

My wife would beg to differ. She tells me I'm ugly. Seems USCIS thinks otherwise.  Or the biometrics lady must have done a good job. I should buy her one for the road. 

 

And I know adjudication is different.  Just baffled me that 2 tax returns actually worked and no RFE was issued. Hahah. I believe there's never been such a case here on VJ, none that I've come across in my 4/5 years as a member. 

 

 

Haha, pole mheshimiwa. I am a Kenyan as well. We are a same sex couple. I got rejected twice to come and visit my Fiance here on a B2. I was deadly scared I we would get rejected for the K1. However, all went well. No interview for the Green Card nor the I-751. The latter was approved within 6 months which was shocking. We were expecting 15 months. I was interviewed for Citizenship though. 

 

We sent a file 4 inches thick with bank, credit cards, will, POA, Etc

Yeah...my Citizenship application which we did online took 4 months from application to receiving an email letter for the Interview in NYC. Maybe because we submitted everything online, all IRS transcripts, etc etc..

My N400 opens in 9 days. However,  to avoid all drama with online submission,  I'll wait and do it the first half of July
