question regarding length of HSL letter.

[eramirez1]

I have a nagging question in the back of my mind that haunts me everytime i look at my hardship letter. This question is does it really truly matter about the length of the letter? My letter is 10 pages. But all the information in the letter i think is very valueable information. I think the reason why its so long is cause i added very important information from each of my evidence exhibits. So that it would read smoother... and the officer reading the hardshiph letter will not have to do sooo much flipping to the exhibit to understand or obtain explanations that could of been readily available in the letter so he/she could focus more on the strong points in the letter without being constantly distracted by flipping to the exhibits.

Is this a good thing?

I can repost my letter on the HSL review, i have changed it a bit... (even better i think)...

If you feel confident about your 10 pages don't worry about it.

Are you filing in Central America or in the caribbean? If so, having a longer packet is fine because they are going to take more time to review it since there is no quick processing like in Mexico.

Yes i am filing in El Salvador.

I do feel very confident about the letter. I think i'll just leave it as it is and just edit for mistakes.

Thanks for a fast reply.

No problem. Yeah, the length discussions are really mostly for people filing in CDJ because there is such a short time for them to initially review the waiver. I don't think 10 pages is so long anywhere else. It sounds average.
