Our interview is 4 weeks from today :dancing: so I'm starting to think about how to organize all the paperwork to take?

I'm going to take an exact photocopy of the entire packet, and have originals of every document too. We will have our wedding photo album plus a handful of other photos from our 4 years together. We front loaded the petition so they already have our tax stuff, insurance (car and health and life), drivers licenses showing the same address, joint bank account, marriage certificate, his divorce decree, his proof of employment and pay, copies of wedding cards, other correspondence, etc. what else should we bring?

How did people organize it all, in folders? I've seen those concertina envelope folder things with lots of pockets for each set of documents? I want to be able to find stuff fast but also not forget anything!

I'd love to hear from recent interviewees about what they did?

Thanks ??

Hi,

We had our interview two weeks ago. We had three regular folders: one with photocopies of the entire packet, one with all the originals, and one with new evidence - anything that changed from when we filed, plus additional evidence - trips, photo album, etc.

From our experience, I think it was important that we organized the folders together, so that we each knew where everything was in case we were asked. Other than that, we just used regular folders from Staples - the ones with one pocket - and there were no issues, we found everything very quickly. Even if you misplace something and the IO asks for it, don't lose your patience and be confident.

Good luck!
