picture of your K1 interview packet

[Bill and Eve 1]

I was hoping someone who went through the K1 interveiw successfully could show me a picture of what all their information looked like before presented to the embassy. I am not sure on the best way to package all this and am hoping to get a better idea. Thanks

I don't have any pictures, but what Patty did was put a binder together with document protectors inside and grouped the information together for easy retrieval. For example, she had her CENOMAR, Birth Certificate, NBI clearance, Passport in one group, the I-134, employment letter, pay stubs, Tax transcripts, and my certified true copy of divorce decree on another group, and then the evidence of ongoing, bona fide relationship on another group. I hope this gives you an idea. I think the most important thing to do is be organized so that it is easy for you to locate and retrieve information the embassy will be asking for. The interview itself is really easy as long as you have all the required documents. The hardest part was the waiting at the embassy. Good luck!

This is what I did:

i had 3 folders, one with pictures, one with proof of relationship - emails, card, plane tickets, facebook logs, skype logs, etc., and one with all the #### they ask for at the embassy - DS forms, BC, police certificates, affidavit of support, and so on. i don't really know how to attach pics on here so email me if u have questions - i have pictures of the proof of relationship folder and the pictures folder

I have a notebook with dividers for each step. There is the Application folder with copies of everything including the envelope in the first section. The the medical interview section. Then the interview section. Then the...

I put pocket folders in there also for unexpected stuff, like the RFE that we got. The copies of that are in the pocket folder. In the back of the notebook in the built-in pockets, I included "entertainment" for him to look at while waiting at the enbassy for his interview to begin--trivia, maps, stuff like that.

Having everything organized this way has been helpful for us since it has been so long since we filed that I have forgotten lots of details. Sigh.

Note: In the interview section, Post-It's are used to indicate originals versus copies. If they want a copy of any of our "proof", they don't even have to run to the copier, it is right there. The less time they have to spend (waste) on our interview, the better, IMHO.

Note#2: We haven't actually had the interview yet.
