Looks great to me. Just remember (if you haven't already done so), on the back of the passport pics, to write the beneficiary's full name, their date of birth, and your NVC case number. Also, make sure your NVC case number is written on the top right of every single paper you send in.

Should I write the NVC case number on the official original copies of our marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc??

Thank you!!

You could if you want to, but what I'll be doing when I get to NVC is apply adhesive labels on and write my case number on that. The labels can be removed afterwards with no damage to the originals.

This is a link to the exact labels I bought to give you an idea of what I mean: http://www.staples.c...&affixedcode=WW

I'm sure you could find this or something similar in a nearby office supply store.

We used post-it-notes to note the A# on the originals and had no problems. Good luck!
