Here is something I've compiled as to what Neetu will be taking to the interview. I would appreciate feedback if something is missing and otherwise I hope this helps others organize their papers :)

***Required docs - interview letter (my copy and hers), postponement letter, medical packet, my passport copy, her original passports (maiden name and married name), photocopies of docs sent to NVC (See below), employment experience

***Marriage/NVC "proof" - Registered Marriage Certificate, photocopies of both marriage certificates, Birth Cert photocopy, Police report photocopy, Wedding cards, Affidavits, Wedding Album, DVD/CD of Wedding

***Proof of Relationship: emails, phone records, cards, letters, copies of cards/letters she sent to me, chat transcripts from skype, pictures (casual ones, including goa and family visits), boarding passes, itinerary of trip to goa, hotel receipts, my itineraries from my visits there, screenshots from skype webcam/chatting - presentable if asked

*Entire I-130 packet copy as submitted by me - to be used only if certain things (ie my naturalization cert photocopy) are asked for ...

*Tax returns, employment letter, bank statements from I-134 packet which I sent to her before (from when we filed K3) to be shown only if asked. She doesn't have a copy of the I-864EZ that I filed ... I think that isn't necessary.

*Tourist visa sponsorship info filed by relative (her parents got it, Neetu was rejected at the time - to be shown only if asked).

I've also attached the list above as a TXT file in case it helps :)
