Folks, I know this question has probably been asked a billion times but I'm rubbish at navigating this site! Sorry.

I have my interview next week and I have all of my paperwork & copies etc. Can someone give me some advice on how best to set this out so that I have what they need to hand? Should I put all my originals together and then have a similar pack of copies or hand over each original with the copy attached?

Just want to avoid any fumbling about, bearing in mind I'll probably be shaking from head to toe. ;-)

Thank you x

Either way is fine. Having copies for them is a great idea. I think my husband (fiance at the time) only had to hand them my I134 and a tax return, and maybe one of the DS forms. Everyone is usually shocked at how little paperwork they want compared to how much we all plan on having! It will be a lot less stressful than you imagine. He compared it to going and getting his driver's license here.

Have the things you know you need to have on top: Police Certificate, I-134, Long form Birth Certificate, passport photos. Next have the things which are required for the process but you have already submitted, like a fresh copy of all of your forms. These aren't always needed, but if there has been a mishap with your file, you'll be ready to supply them again (this has happened once before). Last, have all the rest - the superfluous and unnecessary things that you feel like you just HAVE to have: the relationship evidence that no one ever shows unless they push it on the CO, etc. In fact, if you can carry the first two groups separately from the last group, it will be much smaller and easier to manage.

I paper clipped the photo copies to the originals for all the documents.
