Organizing paperwork for Tokyo Embassy

[D&T01 1]

Has anyone be through the Interview process at the Tokyo Embassy within the last year or so?

 

How did you organize your paperwork and documents?

Any suggestions to make things easier?

 

My stack of documents is getting bigger and I'm trying to figure out how to organize it.

 

Any suggestions on how to organize so everything is easy to find and easily handed over if asked is welcome.

thank you,  I changed the country.

 

I have all the documents, but they are all sitting in a file, not really organized. 

I want to find out if the Tokyo embassy has a way that they want files to be organized, or stored so they can be easily handed over if requested.

much rather get things organized now before the file gets too big.
