How soon should we start gathering documents for next stage

Hello,

We just sent off our package yesterday afternoon. How soon do you think we should start getting other documents ready such as bank statement, letter from employer, police certificate e.t.c.

Thanks

My fiancé and I waited until his petition was received at his consulate. I had started to get together a list of the documents we still needed to get after the NOA2 and then made plans to do everything after the petition was received at his consulate. That gave us enough time to get things together since he had about a month and a half before his interview. I would suggest though that if your consulate schedules interviews rather quickly then I would start getting them after the NOA2, at least for us the police certificates took the longest as for one my fiancé had to travel 18 hours by bus to obtain it in person. I didn't send him the affidavit of support or the rest of the documents that I needed to send until much closer to the interview, about 2-3 weeks prior so that the pay stubs that I had printed were more recent.
