我来贡献一点结婚绿卡的申请经验，希望能对申请结婚绿卡的同道中人有一点点帮助。
首先是时间表：
08/25/05 先生递交入籍申请
02/14/06 先生入籍面试， 通过面试
03/14/06 先生入籍宣誓
03/20/06 递交我的结婚绿卡package. (详见document list)
03/21/06 ins 收到package
03/24/06 ins 发出receipt notice
04/03/06 ins 发出 指纹 appointment
04/15/06 打指纹
06/06/06 ins 发出面试appointment
06/23/06 ins 发出EAD
07/19/06 面试， 通过面试，盖绿卡章
我不知道这算不算快的，但比我想象的要顺利：从发出申请到绿卡章，是整整４个月。比很多人说的１年还是快很多。下面分享以下经验：
１． ｐａｃｋａｇｅ 要整齐，有条理， 并全面。 如果申请的是ｐａｃｋａｇｅ，就有好几个ｆｏｒｍ． 我是１３０， ４８５， ７６５ 一起寄的。每个ｆｏｒｍ 要求的补充材料要分开放。要分开装订。还是看我的ｄｏｃｕｍｅｎｔ ｌｉｓｔ 八，比较清楚。
２． 给ins 一个document list 和一封cover letter.

Dear Sir/Madam:
Enclosed you will find all the necessary papers for the petition for my wife, xx xx. As an American citizen I am looking forward to your kind assistance in this application, so that my wife may enjoy the privileges of being a permanent resident. I appreciate that I’ve been very fortunate to have the opportunity to work in the United States for the last xx years. I hope that the country I have come to know as home will be gracious enough to extend the same chance to my wife, so that we can continue our lives here as a family. We respect the country, how we value freedom and industry and firmly believe this is the best place we can raise our future children.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Xx xx
