Hi all,

So I know this may be nitpicking, but I am DETERMINED not to get an RFE.

I am sending documentation from all three of my trips to Cambodia.

My two most recent trips aren't really document heavy, as we mostly traveled around Cambodia and stayed in the village (thus, we have receipts from hotels, restaurants and ATM transactions as well as pictures and letters from friends in those places) These I've all scanned and labeled by printing them neatly onto a word document which identifies what the receipt is and when we received it.

My first trip, which we took while we were both still at the Seminary where we met in Hong Kong, had lots of documents attached to it. For example, we got letters from our advising professors approving our decision to use part of our summer vacation to visit Cambodia. We also kept all of our boarding passes, travel insurance and formal receipts documenting our plane ticket purchases. Each of these is a page, so I cannot label them by scanning them into a word document as I have the other proof from our more recent trips. Should I use post its? Or make a table of contents detailing the order of this body of proof? (I am going to make an over-all table of contents to show the order of ALL documents, but maybe I should make one just for this part of our packet?)

Gah. I just want it to be easy to read. I've attached an example of one of the receipts I've scanned so you can see how I've been handling the previous two trips.

Any experience or advice would be so appreciated.

Thanks!

All that we are and all that will be we dedicate to the One who brought us together

Don't forget you don't get RFE's for not enough evidence. As long as there is some, you get approved. If you look at the RFE Master List thread, you'll see that RFE's tend to be for missing elements: missing letters of intent, missing signatures, missing checked boxes, missing primary evidence of meeting, missing passport photos done to USCIS specifications, etc.

That said, I would go ahead and load up your petition so that you have a strong case for the Embassy interview. A table with all the evidence listed sounds good to me. I wouldn't use Post-Its, but tabs instead. And a timeline for your travels might also help.

Good luck!
