K1 Interview preparation

[kaleigha 3]

This might be a silly question, but just to be sure...

My fiance has his interview in Naples next week and we are both getting a little nervous/excited/anxious for it. We have all the documents we need for the interview, but I was wondering how we should present them... Should the documents and forms be in a specific order? Should they be put in a binder or folder or something? Does any of this even matter? For those of you who have had your interview or are preparing for it, How did you arrange all of your papers for the interview?

Thanks!

you just need to remember where to find them in your collection, because the consular officer will just ask you to pass them over to them so they can check them, i just sepereated my originals and copies so i knew i had each of them, and organized them so they were exact copies of the folders, a binder wouldn't be a good idea, have them in like a manilla folder and you should be good

I put in many hours organizing my documents in an accordion-style case picture. As it turned out, true to the above post, the initial consular officer asked my fiancee to hand over specific forms and documents that we had and then told her to go sit back down and wait to be called for the actual interview. She was then called up for the interview and the interviewer was reading primarily off of the petition he already had (the one we sent in) and didn't even look at or open the accordion file that I had prepared. Regardless of how you organize everything for yourselves, I agree that the best thing you can do is to know where everything is within your file. The day before our interview in Juarez, my fiancee and I spent time going through the file and I showed her how I had organized everything when I put it together.
