VERY CAREFULLY review this EXAMPLE to see how you should complete your own application. All details are VERY IMPORTANT. Write YOUR information on the BLANK application form and sign it. Attach photograph(s) with tape (DO NOT staple).

Send your application form + your photograph + payment to: .............................

If you are married, your spouse can complete another application, following the same steps (1. through 4. above). If both you and your spouse send your applications, your chance to become permanent residents of the U.S.A. will be twice as high.
