last 3 years W2's. Employee Letter Signed.

These items would not be submitted with the I-130 to USCIS, they are submitted to the NVC with the I-864 (or I-864EZ).

and you send in your entire packet first thing? or is that later in the process?

Relationship evidence (e.g. photos, copies of passport pages with stamps) as well as copy of your marriage certificate and copies of any other relevant documentation as called for in the I-130 instructions are submitted together. Beneficiary's civil documents and financial evidence is submitted to the NVC later in the process.

but yeah... Photos, Video's.... any input on what your Packet looked like would be appreciated.

Forget the video's, no electronic media will be viewed by any government personnel (USCIS or State Department) at any point during this process.

I read your timeline, you are going to marry in Oct.this year?

So,you should focus on I130 petition first.

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/EZGuideSpouse

Then when your petition is approved.(4-5 months)

You will move to NVC stage.
