Figured I might throw in a late input ;)

Your list sounds great!

And by the way I had a 6 slots black accordeon folder, and they just made me put in in the X-ray machine with my jacket and my keys. No problemo with the color. And they didn't make me empty it either.

Lucky, I think that means that they like you Mephys. :lol: Of course, they might have just been pissed with all the people bringing in leather bags.

I'll carry it under my arm...I won't need a bag for it...it's very compact...

They will probably not let you take a bag in there with you....I'm not sure. No purses at all, I know that for sure.

Looks good giirl!!!!

whens ur interview!?

Hey guys :)

It's been a lazy Saturday. I went to Staples and bought a 13 slot accordion type folder for all my paperwork to take to the interview.

Now, I know that people on here have posted over and over and over again what they are bringing to the interview and I've used the search feature and haven't come up with one...we need a new search engine on this site!!! Anyway... :blush:

I also thought I book marked a few of the pages but apparently, I did not. -_-

So I'm breaking up the sections of the folder and I want to just type it all out here and see how I've done.

Any input or suggestions on anything I'm missing would be greatly appreciated.

Hope you are all having a great weekend :star:

1) Birth Certificate (My original, plus a copy of it and a copy of Nick's)

2) My passport, a copy of Nick's and my two passport pictures needed for the interview

3) Files Needed: DS230 part 2, DS156K, Copies of the ones I sent in with package 3, DS230part1 and DS156

4) My original marriage and divorce certificates, plus copies of each

5) Police Certificate plus a copy

6) Medical exam folder

7) Affidavit of Support I-134 (notarized) plus supporting documents, 3 years of Nick's tax returns, Nick's pay stubs from a few months, a letter from his employer and bank statements. I'm going to throw in a few of my pay stubs too.

8) Copies of NOA1 and NOA2 and Appointment letter

9) New letter of intent from both Nick and I

10) Proof of Ongoing Relationship: photos, emails, letters and phone bills

11) Travel Documents since filing original petition: boarding passes, receipts and bank statements from restaurants and stores purchased in Canada and the States

12) Other stuff: Copy of receipt for engagement ring and our wedding bands, any other stuff I want to throw in.

That's it....how does it look?
