    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

    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!!!

    Hi Kseniya, great video. I appreciate you doing all this work to help us immigrants file forms with confidence.
    I was wondering who would be the Primary Applicant and Sponsor be for when my spouse filed for I-130 online? I'm confused who the Sponsor could be because we have an Affidavit of Support from my spouse's family member instead of my spouse. Is it easier if I just changed Primary Applicant to Beneficiary/Applicant and Sponsor to Petitioner?
    Thank you in advance!

    • @KseniyaInternational
      @KseniyaInternational  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hello, the petitioner must also fill out the affidavit of support so they will be the sponsor regardless. Even if you have a co-sponsor

      @dvk9807 10 месяцев назад

    Hi, thank you for these videos Kseniya, they are so helpful. I just have a question about the way you organize both of your cover letter videos. 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!

    • @chia-yiwu6544
      @chia-yiwu6544 2 года назад

      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

    Thank you so much for your videos!i I watched all of them and filled out my forms following your instructions and it really made things easy. I have two questions... 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?

    Nice video. I got a question
    I am petitioning for my spouse(wife). Can I submit the I-130 together with the I-485 and I-864 (all 3 forms) together? Or should I wait for the I-130 first to be approved before submitting the I-485 and I-864?
    I hope you answer back. Thank you .. nice videos.

    I just applied for adjustment of status for my Wife and her daughter. (K1and k2 from ukraine) but I am a little worried. I applied in December 23rd And today ( February 7th) we received her initial interview appointment for March 7th. That's only 2.5 months. I am in shock 😲 have you ever heard of this situation? 2.5 month process? I thought this was 9 to 14 month process
