I have all the forms separate by binders and it works great for i-130, I-785 and I-131, but I-485 is a huge package (+200 pages) there's no binder or enveloped that big.<br /><br />And the complete package will definitely not fit in an envelope, did you use a box? I nervous to use one and get rejected for that. Probably sounds dumb.

Sounds like your wife is the petitioner (US citizen) so the I-485 will be filled out by you, using your name to apply. Same as I-131, I-765, these are all for you (the alien spouse), not your wife.
