British Expats - Packaging your Application

Hi all,

Those who have sent off your forms, how did you package it?

I've included an introductory letter and then separated into Official Documents and Supporting Forms.

From past experience (with the UK application) I have not stapled or binded any of the paper (it's all loose leaf) with post it tabs. i've put the photos in a clear sleeve.

Any recommendations prior to sending off tomorrow?

I've organised it like this: (blocked out names for privacy ;)

-->Please find the enclosed application for a Family Class Spousal Sponsorship for myself ....I am a British citizen who holds dual citizenship with Spain.

My wife and sponsor ... is a Canadian citizen (born in North York, On, Canada). She is currently living in the UK with me and our daughter ... Our daughter ... was born on ... and is entitled to Canadian citizenship from her mother .... We are currently awaiting her Canadian citizenship and passport (we have attached the application form and proof of payment).
