When submitting applications to USCIS, a well-prepared cover letter is an essential first page. It helps clearly outline the purpose and components of your application while pointing out any details that may need clarification. Without an attorney’s guidance, knowing how to structure and format an effective cover letter can be challenging.
This USCIS Cover Letter Template provides a clear, professional framework for presenting your application. It demonstrates how to correctly format your first page and includes a dedicated section to list your index of exhibits in an organized manner.
The template is modeled on an Adjustment of Status (AOS) application in which the I-130 petition has been submitted online, but it can easily be customized for other types of USCIS filings.
Preparing an Adjustment of Status application through marriage to a U.S. citizen involves gathering multiple forms and supporting documents. Missing even one required item can delay your green card approval or result in a Request for Evidence (RFE).
This Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status Checklist provides a detailed list of the documents typically included with Forms I‑130, I-130A, I‑485, I‑864, I‑693, and I‑765. It is organized to help you assemble your application clearly and completely, ensuring that every form and piece of evidence is properly accounted for.
Designed for applicants and legal professionals alike, this checklist offers a reliable, easy-to-follow reference to support a well-prepared USCIS filing package.
When submitting proof of a genuine relationship to USCIS—whether for an I‑130, I‑751, or I‑129F petition—affidavits from family members or friends can strengthen your case. These sworn statements serve as personal testimony that the relationship between the petitioner and beneficiary is authentic and not entered into for immigration purposes.
This Affidavit of Bona Fide Relationship Template provides a professionally formatted example of how such an affidavit should look. It includes clear guidance on what details to include, how to structure the statement, and common mistakes to avoid, helping you ensure each affidavit is credible, concise, and compliant with USCIS expectations.
Ideal for applicants, sponsors, and attorneys, this template simplifies the process of preparing an effective supporting affidavit for your marriage‑based or fiancé(e) visa petition.
