Hi,

Can anyone clarify

a) if we are allowed to stable our pages together

b) carry files folders

c) carry marriage albums

How did you organise your items for interview?

Here's what we did:

a) We used paper clips

b) File folders are preferred. That's what my wife did to organize files and helped a lot

c) We made a small photo album from the collection of digital photos. Interestingly they didn't even ask for the album in our case. I have heard people carry a small size albums that can be pushed the small document window - larger albums may not fit.

Hi Congratulations on your approval!!

Did they allow plastic folders? Yes organizing is important I feel

I bought a couple of small albums from the dollar store(that can hold 30-40 4x6 photos) and printed some of our marriage photos as 4x6 at Costco and put them in the album. It was easy to carry though IO did not ask anything to be seen at all. I would suggest carrying small ones as it is easy to let it through the window for IO to see.
