I did this for a few of mine, I read that it was recommended to do that. You want to make their jobs as easy as possible..however things like too many tabs and stuff could get overwhelming, and like plastic covers are usually not recommended since they reorganize everything anyways. I'd say highlighting is fine, go for it! Unless someone on here has heard differently! :thumbs:

Yes. We did that for flight itineraries and boarding passes. On some it is quite easy to find, but on others it's not. That probably helps them a lot.

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

We highlighted too. One color for names, one color for dates. We also bought Post-It note tabs and tabbed each section of evidence (bank statements, phone bills, etc). We used the note section to write a description of each section. I later read that tabbing isn't suggested but they were only sticky notes. It looked pretty neat and organized anyway.
