Ready to mail I-751

[Tom2009]

We have everything together, just wondering your experience as to how to package the form and supporting docs. I'm thinking a folder that easily slips the papers in and out? Or perhaps a ring binder with clear protective pockets for each document?

None of that junk is appreciated at USCIS, they will pull it all out, toss the folder or binder, and will punch everything with two holes at top and clasp everything using a standard ACCO fastener.

 

Any time we sent patitions or applicatiions to USCIS I punched everything at top with a two whole punch and bined everything with a standard ACCO fastener.

Cover letter is on top, followed by I-751, and then supporting docs.

 

Interesting what can be found when google photo searching for Acco Fasteners.

 

Everything must be done meticulously since if you make even a tiny mistake your application will be rejected. There are rules for how you must do everything so attention to detail is of the utmost importance. Documents, for example, should not be stapled together. The entire document should be 2-hole punched at the top and held together using ACCO fasteners. (Since I had never even heard of ACCO fasteners I had to do a search on the internet to find out what they were) I also put stick on tabs to indicate where each document was located in the stack of papers. According to the USICS website these need to be on the bottom of the pages and not on the sides.
