My 2 shillings here. (Disclaimer.... this is just what I did. You don't have to be as ####### as me.)

I put my evidence for the K1 in a 3 ring binder with plastic sleeves. I actually had a table of contents, and then I separated the items by evidence of having met, telephone calls, purchases on the credit cards, correspondence, letters from family members and village chief congratulating us on the engagement then pictures that I took near or at national monuments. Another section was of hotel bills, plane tickets etc. I worked over there for a short while, so I had my work papers, rental receipts and anything to show I was there.

I am a little ####### so I spent a long time organizing everything. When I stored everything in the binder, I photocopied them and labeled each page so that I would not have to remember anything later on. The pictures were copied on to 8.5 x 11 sheets and labeled. Much success. Chspas

You sent photocopies of the pictures to the consulate, not the originals?

Hmmm... you sound a little like me. There is nothing wrong with being a little #######. Your description is exactly how I sent my documents to the NVC and how I have been organizing my additional evidence of a relationship since my petitiion.

Yes I did. I had used a digital camera to take the pictures so when i printed them out I printed them on Kodak paper. Actually I had sent so many, my husband said during the interview the officer gave him back a few of them. He did say that the packet that the officer was flipping through was enormous as he had not seen it before I submitted the information.

Yep! Me too! Being '#######' is sometimes a good thing.

I prepared a 3 ring binder with all our evidence, put everything in pastic sleeves. I was at the embassy the day of the interview and saw that the pastic sleeves were a big waste of time. I say this because when they asked for the evidence, the binder was too big to hand through the window, so they told him to take out what they wanted, as well as take everything out of the sleeves. Using the sleeves looked real nice and organized, but only slowed my husband down a lot, trying to get everything out. The man he was giving the stuff to kept telling him to hurry up. If I had to do it all over again, I would not use them. I did not want to punch holes in the important stuff, that was my main reason for using them. Someone I know used an accordion filer. That's what I would use if I had to do it over.

Ooops I forgot to mention the financial evidence. I don't know if anyone else did this, but I blacked out information on my financial papers that I thought could compromise my privacy. The 401K had more information than I wanted to have rolling around USCIS or an embassy so I blacked it out. Not sure if this was good, bad or necessary. I just did it.

I used 2 legal folders and had a table of contents also. I also blacked out personal information from my documents too.
