yilan: 我学校也没有提到i-134表

erduoo：我学校说sevis i-20要complete第一页第11项，并没有提原来
的i－20的问题。


今天刚收到的学校给我的list

Services") - personal check or money order

Marriage Certificate or Birth Certificate, whichever is appropriate
是结婚公证或者出生公证，没有提到户籍公证，那是不是应该交户籍公证和结婚公证两样才好呢？我没有办出生公证 :(
你的list里没有提到cover letter?那是不是表明cover letter也不是必须的？

我还有一个问题，我的I-20是和其他几样东西订在一起成一个小本本寄给我的，里面有cover sheet（写了我到学校要带的材料，我的个人信息）,我交的原来的I-20的复印件，还有我交的资金表和资金证明的复印件，都订在一起给我了，那我交到BCIS的时候是可以拆开的吧？有没有人拿到I-20和我一样不是散的也是跟别的什么东东订在一起的？（鉴于我拿到的另一份I-20就是散开的）

我看到户籍公证一般都是在补充材料里面出现，比如submit additional evident to establish that you have a residence abroad to which you intent to return.

至于cover letter，我现在看到好几个人说他们没有写，他们的isso说可有可无。据说是以前转身份的必备，现在大家都要转，所以cover letter的作用就削弱了。不过还是备一个比较好吧。
