I already know that my husband and I will be flagged for an I-130 interview because he was in removal proceedings when we married (and I'm older than he is and more educated).

I have seen a lot of advice about photo albums and the K-1 interview or the AOS interview.

Does anyone have any advice for an I-130/Stokes interview as far as photo albums and/or documentation (ex. Facebook screenshots) other than the kind that normally prints on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper anyway (ex. beneficiary, insurance, bank docs, etc.)?

I am thinking of making a scrapbook with the little picture corners to hold the photos and any printouts. That way they can be taken out easily if needed.

I'd like to get started on it now, before we are scheduled, so I'm not scrambling at the last minute.

I haven't found a lot on the I-130 interviews, so thanks in advance for your help!

This answer might be very late but just in case you still need it I will respond your question. For starters we are in a very similar situation. My husband was on removal proceedings when we got married, I am 4 years older than him and I am more educated than him. I thought I was going to be flagged but we did not. For my interview, I had a photo album, a letter from our landlord (since when he was living with me), I did not have bank accounts, I gave them a copy of my car insurance that says he is excluded because he doesn't have a drivers license but to me it proved that he is part of my life... I show the lady (immigration officer) pictures of him with my mom and pictures of me with his family, several pictures of us together. She asked him a few questions about information that was on the I 130 application and he was nervous an messed up the answers... I responded the questions for him and the officer said that she was going to ask me because he did not know anything. About our relationship she asked if he meet my father, where did we meet (at church) and the address... the lady only kept 2 pictures, one of my mom and his dad talking, it wasn't a stage (posing) picture, a picture of our wedding date... we were not approved right there but a month later we received our approved I 130... we had to do an administrative closure and today I just paid the Affidavit of Support and the Visa Application fees... we are now working on getting documents for the I 601A... good luck with your process...

By the way my husband is also from El Salvador
