Sounds like you've read up on how to do it well. My only advise is that you send periodic follow-up letters to the INS Service Center after, say, six weeks have passed.
As you will find out, the telephone at the INS Service Center is taken off the hook by staff at 8:30 a.m. and not put back on the hook until 4:30 P.M., when the non-message-taking answering machine takes over. Despite this, after you submit your application, the receipt letter that you will receive will urge you to call the number for status updates or questions. I found the whole thing rather Kafkaesque.
For this reason, and because they are overwhelmed with files, periodic follow-up letters are advisable.
P.S. Your user name begs the question: Are you an attorney?
