1. 每个申请人都会附上一封Cover Letter放在package的最前面, 是在论坛和网上找的模板,附上一些链接供参考(特别是那个youtube频道,内容很少但非常受益,特别是填485表格):

(发帖的时候系统提示我,无法发送网页链接。。。所以我把前面的http www都去掉了,请见谅)
2. 我附上了驾照复印件,是因为去诊所做体检的时候,用的ID是驾照,所以医生在I-693体检表上填的是我的驾照信息,因此在材料里面附上了驾照复印件。
5. I-485中的每份材料都用回形针别起来,2张照片和支票一起别在Form I-485的上面,每份材料的底部都会用Post-it牌子的各种颜色的标签(Index flag)标注上文档在Part-1的对应号码。
最后把Part-1 485的所有文档用一个中型夹子(binder clip)全部夹在一起。Part-2 I-765, Part-3, I-131都做一模一样的处理。
把三个部分的三大份材料以及体检表一起放进一个大的档案袋(或者其他文档收纳袋)里,封口。然后,在档案袋外面写上简单的以下几行(表明袋子里装的是什么):
NAME: xx
Date Of Birth: xx
(Principal Applicant)
I-485
I-765
I-131
I-693
最后2个副申请人的装订操作一模一样,是分别放在另外两个大档案袋内,档案袋外面分别写上以上几行基本信息。
我最后把这三个大档案袋带去FedEx邮寄,装进FedEx提供Medium Box(11-1/2" x 2-3/8" x 13-1/4")正正好,刚好填满。
等想到更多的细节再补充。有疑问的童鞋们也可以提问,尽我所能回答。
谢谢大家!

补充一点:我在递交I-140表格时,问将来如何调整身份,我选择的是Immigration visa processing(IVP)(采纳律师建议). 但现在到了可以调整身份的时候,因为我在美国境内,从而选择了直接向USCIS递交I-485而不走IVP方式

6月7号的时候收到了National visa center(nvc)的邮件,告知我们的case已经在nvc, 附上了申请immigration visa的流程,费用及表格。联系递交I-140的律师,律师告诉我们因为我们现在选择递交485 instead,所以只需通知
