I'm starting to really worry about the interview at the embassy next week!

Does anyone know if there's a checklist for all the stuff we Must bring (along with suggestions of what we should bring, just in case)??

CONGRATS!!

And no, that's not correct. K-1 visa holders need Employment Authorization as they are adjusting status but IR-1/CR-1 do not.
