Hi everyone! I just have a question especially to those who are done with their interviews already about the pre-screeners window slots... How wide are those? I'm worried that my pile of evidence and my photo album won't fit into the slots. Thanks in advance.

5. DO NOT stack your papers too thick. They will not pass through the slot. Maximum thickness should be half an inch. And make sure that the stack will be flexible enough, as they will be bent when passing though the slot.

6. DO NOT use hard-bound covers, hard side binders, and thick photo-albums. In fact, drop the idea. You might earn the ire of a grumpy Filipino interviewer if your documents and photos are in hard covers, and you would find yourself taking them out from the binder one at a time

Forgot to mention that some of Diwatas' information is outdated but the arrangement of documents is basically the same.

Shai,

From the reading that I have done, I will echo what others have said.... The window is small. Most that I have read is that people put evidence in clear plastic sheet holders and into a 3 ring binder. Then they wait to be asked for particular pieces. The interviewer does not ask you for everything, nor do they expect you to push a mountain of paper or books at them. biggrin.gif If your evidence is well organized, so that you know where each piece is located and can quickly respond to particular requests, you should be fine.

Good luck with your interview and tell Wilson to take good care of you. Please be at peace and happy and smile a lot, even though you will be stressed. Everything will work out fine.

PS: What happened to the nice pictures you posted?

Better if you have the evidence in seperate folders by catagory.
People trying to pick out papers with all in one folder who were asked for something like financial have been known to dump the entire works on the floor.
Not a good way to start out the interview.

i had our pictures in a folder with a binder but i still ended up detaching the binder coz i couldnt bend the folder. better just put it in a one inch photo album and im sure you'll have no problem with that. just put important pics on it.
