Sorry to be overly pasty in this form. Currently applying to AOS from a B2 while in the country due to Covid.

 

I am wondering if anyone would be so generous as to share an example of a cover letter for the whole package, the i130 or the i485 since I need to put together all three. I'm also wondering in which one I should explain why we entered the country without intent to reside but that changed.

 

Thanks!

I have two that i'm writing up right now. One for 130 and one for 485. Don't worry about what's in bold or not. That's just for me. i'm bolding them as i physically print them out (as opposed to something that may just be typed up or scanned and not yet printed).

 

This is just a modified version of something i pulled off the net (probably here).
