It sounds, like you guys even over-prepared for the interview :wow::blink:. I wonder how many pounds does this package weigh :lol: ?

Looks nice to me, but I got rid of some my items: just left necessary ones. I'm not sure if school records required (unless it's another prove doc).

I didn't include neither NOA1 nor NOA2 - don't see any reason, since I got my wife's case completed, so what's the purpose of bringing those NOAs to the interview :unsure: ?

Princess, just relax, don't stress yourself over the interview too much (F).
