Hanhua's interview is November 22. How should we put the packet she will bring to interview? Testomonials?Financials?Emails?Chats?Photos?etc...Thanks so much:-p)todd

In any order you like as long as it is organized and she can put her hand on everything very easily when asked at the interview....Good luck

Financial is very important. I am not sure how the window of the pre-screener there in China, (or if you have a pre-screener) looks like, but here it's really small. So you will just slide on the glass window what is asked.

FRONTLOADING occurs at the I-130 or I-129F petition stage, sorry.

No FrontLoading for you, alas. Wrong word.. Not nitpicking, but it's done at the very first step (file a petition) not the very last step (have an interview)

However - She can bring the pile with her, carefully indexed for her instantaneous retrieval (she gets almost 0 time to 'find something' in her file at the window, btw)

As for 'the list of what to bring' - it's covered here at VJ in the China forum.

Good luck !

Good indexing, easy to locate and pass through for the officer.

I had a file folder with envelopes for the various types of things. Letters, emails, phone records, finance data. Then if they wanted to see a specific type of data you could pull it out and give it to them. The phone records actually took more than one envelope.

i suggest major folders, with the follow breakdown:

--photos

--evolution of relationship letter (a new one, current)

--chat logs, chat copies

--collection of relationship evidence:

a. phone bills

b. postal stuff you sent to her

c. copies of travel receipts (airline, hotel, meals, amusements)

d. emails

So that'll be 4 major folders, one with just the EOR letter.

Make sure the photos are not in some photo book - there's about 1 and 1/2 inch of slot to pass anything through - most photo books are thicker than that, and do not bend easily.

That's the cliff notes version. Good Luck !

Hi all, so if you didn't frontload at the i-130 stage, you cannot frontload again, perhaps somewhere at NVC stage? Taking a lorry load of paper to the interview isnt going to be interesting. My skype chat log is 500+ pages imagine in just 3 years...
