Thanks, all. :D As other people have said over the years, it seemed like the CO already knew what decision would be made before the interview, which lasted less than five minutes. She did not want to see any additional evidence. The CO who interviewed my husband was a blonde woman.

Along with the I-130 packet, we submitted:

Copies of boarding passes and an itinerary for a future trip

5 photo collages (2 of wedding, 3 random)

Forms showing my husband was an authorized user on my credit card accounts and beneficiary of my retirement and bank accounts

3 affidavits (1-my parents, 2-his parents, 3-a friend of mine who attended our wedding); they were detailed and lengthy

With the DS-230, we submitted just a few updated things:

2 new photo collages from more recent trips

More recent boarding passes and itinerary for future trip

One more beneficiary form I hadn't completed before filing the I-130

We did not send in any emails, cards, chats, call logs, receipts, etc. My husband brought photos, 2 screen shots of my email inbox, 1 sample phone bill, 1 sample Skype call log, a few wedding receipts, and a few cards, but it all stayed in his computer bag. Before the interview, a Moroccan consulate employee requested our 2012 taxes. He had a copy of my w-2, which was sufficient.

We hope his POE experience is this smooth!
