Hi, I'm ready to send my aos by marriage envelope, my question is: beside the address, do I need to write anything else "on the envelope" (like the forms numbers).
Every form and documens inside is well organized and separated with it respective form, same with pics and checks. I'm not doing a Cover letter.

there is no need to write anything else on the envelope. But i strongly suggest you include a cover letter. It is not a requirement but it keeps things organized and can be used as a checklist to make sure you have everything you need.

@Omoiyakaso
The cover letter you shared has a lot of required evidence missing. Some of the forms are missing things like copy of I-94 which is required and people always have RFEs sent for things like that if it's not in the folder.


I suggest people use this Cover letter. It's an over kill but you would rather send more evidence than less of an what is required to avoid RFEs and such
