Few things to remember before you go through the checklist:

Print all the support documents one sided.

Print in standard size paper which is 8 1/2 x 11. Don't use legal size long papers.

Print out should be clear.

Do not staple any documents

Do not mix documents of applicants. Keep them in separate bunch.

Keep a copy of all the documents you are sending to us since for confidentiality reasons and to avoid identity theft we will not scan and retain personal documents such as payslips, W2, Tax returns, credit reports etc.

 For principal applicant

Passport Photos – 6 nos (Write your first name and last name with pencil in the back of the photos). Submit the photos in envelope if possible for each applicant and also write the name of the applicant in the envelope so photos don't get mixed up.
