How to add additional information for form questions

[microsysn]

Hello, for form 5490 Sponsored spouse / partner questionnaire
There are many questinos we need to use additional sheets to answer/provide proof.

a) Do we have to print the same sheet on the form and answer in it,
or can attach a blank sheet with typed response that answer it?

b) do we have to start answering it within the form and continue it onto the additional sheet,
or can it just say on the form "Refer to apendix D" an D will have the answer from beginning to end.
(In other words, on the form, it will just say "Refer to appendix D".)

I saw past forums discussing this, but not sure what the current recommendation is.

Thank you!

a) I attached a blank sheet with the typed response, but made it very clear which question I was answering on which form in this format:

Full Name
Form number "IMM 5490 Supplemental Information"
Question # with the title of the question

b) I just said "see supplemental information sheet for complete response" and did everything on the additional sheet, since I thought that would be less confusing for them to have part of the answer on one sheet and part on the other.

I don't think it really matters, as long as the information is there. I'm sure it makes it faster and easier on their part if it is organized, though!

I did it by including a single covering letter with all of the additional information in numbered paragraphs. Then on the form, where there was addtional information I just typed, "See Covering Letter, paragraph number 'x'. I figured that was simpler than providing numerous additional sheets attached to the numerous forms.
