I-485 cover letter questions (filed I-130 and 130A online),& Address changing??

[Crane424 6]

finally got everything we need, just need to put them all together and mail it!! 

I've been looking for cover letter samples, even pay $10 for it... but find it not helpful!! 

Q1>>>

since we filed I-130 and 130A online,  received I-797C at 09/16/2021. I know we need to copy that and put into my file, but on cover letter what do I write?? 

I am thinking  **Form I-797C, Notice of Action for filing I-130 & I-130A on line

will this work? 

 

Q2>>> 

we pay with check not credit card, what do we write? 

It seems like every one is paying with credit card and using  G-1450

 

Q3>>>

we are moving house at end of October!! should we change the address now with all the forms?? (as I-130 and 130A already filed online with old address)

or everything keep in old address and I come back to collect the mail? (old house it's our friends house, only 10 mins away from new house)

I read once you submit it then changed, it will make you wait longer!! 

what will be the best way to do it? 

 

if there are any good examples of cover letter will also help too, thank you!!

I don’t think changing your address after submitting it will cause any problems with your processing time

They're adjusting status. The beneficiary is currently in the USA.

I paid with check. We made two check as we do the i-130 with i-485 (concurrently). Put the check on top of each form with a paper clip (i put the check inside a ziplock). I also took picture of it.

The "Pay To" addressed to: U.S Department of Homeland Security

At the "For" in bottom i put: For I-130 obo (your spouse full name)>>>>same goes to the i-485 payment

 

For the cover letter i just put the "filling fee check of $535" (or i-485 i put total fee with biometric)
