Planning for my Medical and Interview-help!

Hey all!

I got my letter from the US Embassy in Manila notifying me that I can schedule anytime. I have decided to do it this December (for personal reasons). I know it's still a few months from now, but I have already gathered pretty much all the data that I need. My question is what is the best way to present them? In folders? A clearbook? An expandable folder? And which documents should be together/separate? How about the photos?

I would also appreciate any advice for the medical and interview, I am so nervous! My fiance will be in Ranger School the whole time I'm doing this so I'll be doing everything by myself. :(

Also, what would be a good attire to wear for the interview?

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS! Lol. I hope someone can enlighten me. :)

My Journey:

We met through a study-abroad program in Shanghai, China in August of 2009

We got engaged March of 2010

I received my K1 VISA in 6 months (June-December 2010)

We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

My naturalization journey took 4 months (April-August 2014)

I became a US citizen on 08/01/2014

Received passport in 3 weeks (regular processing)

Thank you, VJ! smile.png

I had all my papers together in a paper clip inside a large business envelope. Photos were in a separate envelope along with letter of our meeting. I had all the consulate/embassy forms clipped together and then all the documents they required from me together in a clip. Medical will be in a separate sealed envelope anyway so don't worry about that. Just have them all in order and what to wear smart casual, I dressed upa bit for mine in Australia but hey they did not even notice as ours is done through a glass window. Don't stress ok you will be fine. Good luck for december

Divorced !st November 2012.

In my case we do a little portfolio with each document label and separated and that way you can take easy any document they ask you , and also we did a separate book with all the proof of our relation.

The thing that help us a lot was that almost all the pictures that we have are printed with the date on it . . i dont even show this in my interview but i know Philippines is different.

Take your time with this , dont leave it for the last moment , we do all of this in a month i think :whistle: but it was so good get everything on time , so when we got the letter everything is done with out pressure :dance:

Good luck!! :star: :star: :star: :star: :star:
