Do we need separate cover letter in case of spouse filing together with the principal applicant?
The following cover letter is only a sample.
Make your own research. Take out the things
that are not relevant to you, add the things
that are relevant. Always read the instructions.
You might also have to pay the difference of
AOS fee since they recently raised the fees...

Do we need separate cover letter in case of spouse filing together with the principal applicant?
It's better to include two covering letters separately in the two files indicating the list of documents included in each file. We also included a common covering letter on top of the two files. You have to prepare two separate files for you and your spouse and send them together in one envelope. Mention that it is a DV lottery case and also include your case number on the envelope, files and covering letters.
Q1. I did
q2. For aos, applicant doesn't ouneed to send ds-230 that what i've been told by kentucky attendant. After i sent dsp-122, i checked up my process to kentucky. They said they transferred my process to uscis.
But i still didn't received nl2. Now i'm wondering if i can send my file without nl2?
hi suu5,
q1. When you filed dsp-122 did you opted for bcis on page 1 of 4. You have a copy of the form? (i take it you sent the form last summer, not recently)
q2. Have you filed form ds-230 (pictures are sent with this form)
Hi suu5,
I think you'll be fine without nl2.
When I had my interview I gave it to the officer,
and she sad that she needs only nl1.
Don't worry. Just submit copy of nl1 with your AOS package.
Best of luck!

What you talking about "difference of AOS fee".
I think it is still $930+$80=$1010.
Is not it? Am I wrong?

Hi Chooti,
What do you mean by each file? We can simply separate them by a paper clip, is that right? Also, do I need to write down the case number at the top of each forms or not?
Thanks.

Capeolive was talking about the DV Lottery Fee aka "AOS Fee" that you pay to DOS in St. Louis which used to be $375 and recently increased to $440. Look at:
http://travel.state.gov/news/news_5078.html
Look under "Immigrant Visa Fee" for "Diversity Visa Lottery surcharge"
AOS fee that you pay to USCIS when filing your I-485 remains the same i.e., $1010 however, there is a proposed rule to increase that as well in future.

Yes, but including a separate cover letter for each principal applicant's and dependents' AOS package is a way to be organized and to help your IO know whats in each package. Per USCIS instructions, each AOS package for each person needs to be separated by rubber band or clip fasteners. Here is the info:

Hi Izzy,
Thank you for your reply.
But i paid Jun 10th and received receipt on jun 17th. For example you paid already and this change activated since July 13th. That means we don't need to pay difference right?
And also I still didn't receive my 2nd letter. I'm just curious can you please tell me what is in the second letter that you receive? What does it tell?
You received it by mail or email?
Thank you

Yes, many of DV 2011 winners including myself paid the fee to DOS before July 13th and received the receipt. I called KCC on many different occasions and each time, I was told that I will need to pay the difference plus it was also mentioned that if applicants whose interview dates fall after July 13th, then they will need to pay the difference. I would advise you to check with KCC on this one and send the fee just so it won't cause any further delays/complications in your case. This issue was discussed on this thread earlier during the day yesterday, so look at pages 206 and 207 to read about it.
I received my NL2 by mail and it simply states that KCC acknowledges my intention to file for an Adjustment of Status with the USCIS and to pay the DV Lottery Fee asap after which my file will be transferred to and handled by USCIS. It contained the payment form for the DV Lottery Fee. It also goes on to say that I will need to visit my local USCIS to ensure my eligibility to file for AOS. Like new one mentioned earlier, you should not be that worried about the NL2, you may call KCC and inquire but your NL1 is the more important document.

I really don't know how to show you how to use rubber band to separate each AOS package...I guess the same way you would use a paper clip to separate files...It is a good idea to include your case number in each document preferably on top right hand corner with a pencil...
