Sounds like you have a ton of evidence and are pretty well organized! All the forms you filled out and all the papers for the affidavit and anything on your consulate's checklist need to be original. You also bring photocopies of all of that so that they can verify them (but they should let you keep the originals). Sounds like you've got that all set. The rest of the stuff like proof & evidence where you wonder if you need copies (like emails & that stuff)...I'd take one copy of each, but do you really care if they keep that? You have them in your computer at home so I wouldn't worry so much about that stuff. I'm taking copies of everything (like you are) just so that if they do keep anything I know what they have and what they don't have of what I took. Hope that makes sense.

I can't think of anything you are missing unless either of you were in the military or married before, sounds like you're very well prepared.

I didn't make photocopies of the chat log and emails and phone statement. I just had soft copies for all of them in a CD.

Good luck on your interview.

cheers!

I brought 3 folders of info but didn't need anything more than the specfied documents with the accompanying photocopies.

The interviewer was very nice, not scary at all! My interview took under 10 MINUTES!

Good luck to you all!
