Stapling vs. paper clip-interview docs

[Soulmates513 3]

Hi All,

I remember seeing something about "not" stapling documents for the interview in Montreal. Can those who have gone please confirm this. For example, the Pkt3 and say the DS-230 forms have more than one page - is it ok to have these stapled? I find with paper clips and having an original and a copy of everything the paperclips catch on everything and when you go to retrieve it out of the folder it may come apart. Just wondering if the people at the consulate are removing staples of things you bring that are stapled. I want to make their job as easy as possible. Thanks for clarifying as I know there are a lot of us making our way to Montreal in November so this would be good to know.

Binder clips!!! the smallest ones are not bulky and so wonderful to stay organized.

I used paper clips. I advise against using any staples.

The cutest and useful thing ever existed. Baby binder clip rocks! Manila embassy's preliminary interview window is so small so you have to divide each sections neatly.

I used small colored paperclips. I used the white ones for the originals and any other color for copies. Also I bought the clear thin plastic report covers(I think they come in a package of 10) to slip them into before putting them in the accordion style folder. Easy access and no sticking together :-)
