Frequently Asked Questions: 1. You do not need a cover letter for online applications. Like I said, this is not a requirement and is simply a good idea to include with your mailed packet. 2. Your cover letter does not need to look exactly like mine. And the evidence in this cover letter will vary depending on your situation. 3. The cover letter is mainly for people applying from inside the US. Again, a cover letter is a description of paperwork in your envelope. If you’re submitting things on CEAC portal, you do not need a cover letter. 4. Why don’t I have I-693 listed on my cover letter? Because I did not send it with my I-485 application, I waited until the interview. No, you do not need to provide a copy of any vaccination records if you’re not sending your medical exam form with the packet. 5. Is this cover letter for I-130/I-485 only? No, you can use this cover letter sample for any other immigration forms, such as I-751, etc. 6. Where does the cover letter go in the packet? At the very top of all your applications, right after your payment. 7. Do you have to include beneficiary’s birth certificate under I-130 document list? No, it’s not necessary. Follow the form instructions Video chapters: 0:00 Intro 01:08 What is a cover letter? Why do you need it? 03:01 SAMPLE

I never do cover do cover letters. The cashiers or officers don't read them. HOWEVER I DEFINITELY do them for RFE's. The best advice I can give is to send DUPLICATE copies of all documents. Too many times, USCIS officers asked for documents I know were already sent. Remember, send duplicates!!!

You add the photos within the applications as needed, but in your other video of how to organize the whole file you put all the photos at the very beginning? which way should we be organizing it? If we do it like the cover letter here the pictures won't all be in the front...? HELP!

I think she means that the pictures are all in the front of each folder and remember to put your name at the back of each photo, so you will have at least 5 folders (i130, i485, i864, i765, i131) with the photos at the first page, that's what I did. Check the list or templates if you need :) - tinyurl.com/2wfdapy7

Is it easier if I just changed Primary Applicant to Beneficiary/Applicant and Sponsor to Petitioner? Thank you in advance!

I don't think i saw anything based on the form instructions, but is there any form of evidence (such as birth certificates, copy of passport, etc..) that would need to be submitted multiple times? (In other words, submitted as evidence for more than one document.) Also given the new filing instructions about not using hole punch, binder clips, sticky tabs, or insertable dividers, how would you recommend submitting all the forms neatly? I was thinking maybe just everything in a folder with a couple plastic bags on top for checks and passport photos. Any thoughts?
