We haven't been given an interview date, but I want to make sure he as prepared as possible. Could someone please point me in the right direction? It would be most appreciated

I took two folders: one contained copies of all the documents we had sent to NVC (including extra photographs) and the other contained relationship evidence. I didn't get either of them out of my bag! All I needed was my interview letter and passport. I'm not suggesting you go with nothing but there is no need to be too concerned about it. When you receive your interview date they will send a checklist saying what is needed, what had already been provided etc
