I-485 cover letter

[GordonRamsey 22]

Hello everyone, I was working on my cover letter, and I had a question.

It seems like most of the cover letters I've seen are referring to the applicant or alien spouse as the beneficiary, with the petitioner being the U.S. citizen spouse, is this correct?

I'm submitting my I-485 package as a K1-Visa holder through I-129f. It seems a little strange to refer to me as the beneficiary here since everything but the Affidavit of Support is filled out personally by me.

 

I was going through and customized one of the templates I found a wee bit, I'd love some feedback. 😁

9. I-864 Form (it is not a petition)

 

And you are not including the I-131, Application for Travel Document. I guess you don't want/need it?

I wouldn't use the names Beneficiary and Petitioner.

 

The immigrant is now called Applicant. And the USC is the Sponsor.

 

The 864 and 944 is part of the 485 package. So put them together. 

 

I think I said before, send form 131. There's really no reason not to send it. You won't spend any more money with that. It doesn't require any specific evidence.

Thanks! This is exactly the change of wording I was looking for!

Cover letter is unnecessary. USCIS reviewers dont care about it .
