N-400 filing: How to attach pictures and check

[teddybear]

Forgive me for another dumb question, but how does one attach all the pages together for the N-400? Did anyone use a. paper clip b. fancy acco clip c. staple?

The pictures and the checks, should I clip them to the application?

Also, does the vermont service center have a different Fed Ex address?

I got my 2 photos from a really professional shop in NYC today and they are actually nice photos that fit the guidelines, they had a photo light with umbrella that took away all the dark shadows in background that messed up my photos the last time I tried to get my n-400s pictures taken by a bad camera shop.

Thanks so much for answering my questions, I will post my progress as I go further down the road.

I used an Acco fastener. There used to be a page on the USCIS web site that recommended them. With their new site design, it seems to be gone.

Use a paper clip for the form , picture and check. If you need to staple , only staple the N-400 form.

Remember the other requirements in your case and enclosed them also.

Thanks

I stapled the application itself, then I used a paper clip to attach the check and the pictures to it.

We (me and my spouse) also used paper clips to attach photographs and check to the application. It appeared to have worked fine.

I am planning to send the package (tomorrow) without stapling or using paper clips. Let's see how it goes. I am planning to send the pictures in the protective folder they gave me at the photo place.

By the way, this is the page that mentions the Acco fasteners:
