We have an Interview Date!

[Roosha 51]

Ok so being from a MENA country I was hoping you guys would have some advice. We've got our interview but I'm not sure if I should bring any more evidence than what we've already sent. Keep in mind we will have been married for 8 years this August and we've lived together here in Qatar all that time. We have a child (birth certificate and CRBA both name us as the parents) and I'm also 8 months pregnant with our second. I will be attending the interview with him. With the I-130 I sent about 40 pics, receipts from hotels, travel itineraries, copies of visa stamps from our passports, a statement of our joint savings account, and of course the paperwork for our son like I mentioned. I'm going to be taking all of this with us when we go for the interview but do you think I should add anything else? I have a couple of new pics I could add, as well as receipts from paying for our son's school and soccer lessons. If I really wrack my brain I could come up with other things, but do I need to? I mean we're there at the interview together. I'm carrying his child. We have one already. My passport shows that I have had a residence permit renewed every year that I've been here and he is my sponsor. My son's passport will be with me as well.

So am I going overboard? What do you think?

Wow you guys have so much! Bring it all, it's better to have wayyyyyy more than you'll need then miss something and end up with a delay in processing because of it. Good luck on your interview, and congradulations on your baby!
