Interview Preparation

[His Glory 25]

Hi, I was hoping you that have gone through interview or know about how the interview runs could give me advice on how I prepared the documents. I want my husband to be able to quickly be able to give them what they need.

In the file organizer I put samples of emails from most recent to past. Phonelogs from cell,pingo and Jajah with receipts. A wedding folder that has stuff from wedding and my trip there, such as plane ticket receipts etc. I punched with a two whole punch and put in folders. I couldnt figure out how to put letters and cards because I stapled the letters with envelopes and some are odd shapes, and I didnt want to damage the cards so i just put in a folder. If anyone has any tips on this one let me know. I couldnt mount them on a sheet because the little letters are written on both sides. Our pics are in a regular picture envelope that you get when you develope the pictures. I put in a side pocket.

On the inside of the binder part of the case I grouped all the forms (except for financia)l in one sleeve. I put sticky notes on the corners of all forms so husband could quickly sort through them and grab right one. I think he will be so nervous I wanted to fool-proof the process for him.

second group is his info...b.certificat,p. clearance certificates, medical documents, passport and marriage certificate.

3rd is financial forms with supporting documents.

Then original and copies of notice of actions and orginal petitions, just in case.

Do you think I need to change the way I stored or group them?

Looks like you did a very nice job with the arrangement and layout. Yes, quick to retrieve is very important.

I did not use a binder but placed the loose papers in a plastic protector and then in a big accordion style folder that looks similar to yours

but is smaller, it is blue like yours and I first thought it was the same one, it even has the netting on the side where some pics will go.

I am also bringing a scrap book I lovingly made ( cost me a small fortune ! ) to tell our story from beginning to present. Lots of lovey dovey

stuff in there. How we met, romantic outings, the beach, cooking together outside , shopping, in church , ending with pics of me here waiting and my kids also. Decorated with some real neat scrap booking thingies, stickers, poems, etc. On the cover I put ' Our story " and our names with

gold metal letters. I got carried away but it was therapeutic and I had fun doing it.

Our interview was over a year ago and now after the long AP everything expired and I have to update the whole mess for the second

interview . He also has to get a new medical.

But you look ready to rock and roll ! Nice job !
