There are no more packets that will be sent to your end until your visa interview. The important document that should be in your possession at this time are the letter from USEM bearing your MNL case number, Noa1, and Noa2 letter of receipt.

I submitted more than 300 photos during my interview. I segregated it into two albums and pasted 3 - 4 photos in each page. The binder that I used was flexible enough to fit inside the small window. Also, I wasn't asked about our hotel receipts, letter of employment, not even chat logs / email transcripts.. The consul just asked for my photo albums and based his questions in the I-129 attachments that we submitted few months ago.

You were going to put glitter and stickers on the page and make it a glittery mess until I stopped you.

LOL BABY! :innocent: Yeah and one thing to note too, I kept insisting on putting comments beneath the photos. But my fiance (guardianone) insisted, I should maintain the formality and simplicity of my presentation.

Plus you would get carpel tunnel from writing captions below 300+ photos.

I did overkill... :unsure: I printed sheets of pictures, and sent all our chats too from when we first met... about 1,000,000 words if I rememebr right. Printed all emails too, and copies of all hand written letters along with the envelopes and cancelled postage. Also page after page after page after page of telephone bills, with all the calls to the Philippines hi-lighted in yellow. The suitcase she hauled it all in was about 27 pounds, if i remember right.... hehe. Over 1/4 her body weight. She had more with her than anyone there... all in 3-ring binders where she could remove the pages to slip through the window. They hardly asked to see anything, but relied mostly on the questions. They got the esential documents at the pre-interview. The woman officer who interviewed her was very disarming and friendly. My wife felt at ease and happy in answering ehr questions, and the officer had a kind smile and appeared sincerely interested in her replies. All went extremely well that day....

That was one year ago. Now we are focused on her PregnancyJourney... hehe... 14 weeks down now, and how many to go? Due date is July 28.

I have selected around 70 quality pictures that we were together and printed on a letter size bond paper, 2 pictures in a page, using a colored laser printer here in the office. :rolleyes: The prescreener took all of these and selected randomly some pictures and asked me who are those in the photo and where it was taken. The CO did not ask anything about the pictures though. I don't know why, but they kept all the pictures with them. :unsure:
