if you are there for the interview you don't need to notarized you can just sign in front of the CO.

I am going to try to be there for the interview. I will be taking our daughter so if she cries too much I might not be able to make it up to the window. I have updated my timeline and now have 3 pages worth with photos available for nearly every event. I will bring different copies. One notarized locally and one unsigned.

Every filer MUST submit a recent Police certificate for every country they have resided in for more than 6 months. If the Fiance has lived in VN the entire life then the VN police cert is the only one required. no visa can be issued without a police cert.

I was wondering for the 10 year residency, do we list most recent first?

Also, because my husband and I rarely take pics it is ok to only have a few pics of a few places only?

Another thing is.. We had three ceremonies.. Don dau lay ngay because it was the only good day for the next few months (because I was preggo) then we have a ceremony in the south then one in my husband hometown.. Should I explain all three or just skip the don dau part and only talked about the two ceremonies?

For the timeline, Im stuck on what format to use.

My timeline currently has a SHORT description, a line or two about each piece. After the timeline I have our documentation, and each major part (such as trips, etc) has a cover page with a full page description and details, followed by the supporting documentation and photos for that section. Is this a good way to do my timeline, or should the timeline include all of the information posted on these "cover pages" ?
