TIPS for Organizing Documents for Consulate/Embassy interview

[Pleasework89 47]

Hello! For those who have attended their immigration visa interview. Can you share how you organized or how you wished you would have organized your documents? I know that in the grand scheme of things....organizing is not at the top of your list when it comes to the immigrant visa interview but I am the US citizen and want to help ease the process for my spouse. I am not allowed to go to the interview because of consulate guidelines... but want to offer any help and this is the only way I can think.  

I have 3 document holders and customized labeled tabs....
First folder is the main folder:
-interview notification email
-DS-260 confirmation page with the barcodes on them
-online registration confirmation page for delivery of visa if approved
-passport size photographs (It says 2 but I am including 5)
-current and expired passports
-civil documents
-evidence of bona fide marriage
-updated tax info for 2023
Second folder is the financials:
Affidavit of Support 
*I haven't really gotten a clear answer on whether we need to provide this....since on the travel.state.org website it says that we don't need to bring it. And the consulate interview prep provided online is vague when it comes to the AOS....so I am including it in a separate document holder....just in case.

Third document holder is for copies of documents 

Any tips? Am I overthinking this? Do you have any suggestions or comments. They would be greatly appreciated...😊 👍

I'm more or less the same as you. The only difference is I placed a post it note on each piece of evidence/document and make a cover sheet for reference as there are a lot and it will speed up pulling them out for the officer.
