Hi,
I am applying for AOS based on marriage to U.S citizen. I am a citizen of Mexico in a current and valid F-1 VISA (visa expires in 2016, I-20 in 2017), the last time I entered to the country was on April 2015 (using F-1 VISA). But, I came to study on 2012. I met my now wife in late 2012, started dating in January 2013 and got living together on May 2015, and got married on June 2015.
I am applying concurrently for I-130, I-485, I-131 and I-765 and I will be sending this week or early next week my application to the Chicago Lock box.
Could you please check my general checklist/cover letter and one checklist/ cover letter for each package (total 4)? I am omitting some personal details for safety.
Also what is the best submission method? to the P.O box or courier address?
Is it fine to just use paper clips and put each package in different folders, and then submit all in one big envelope/box? Thanks in advance
