Hi Guys,

Well my interview is on the 21st.I was wondering how did you guys organize your big pile of proof of relationship evidence. So far I have one big divided folder, one photo album, and a nikey box. Also when you go in for the interview who do they ask questions to first?

Thanks for your info,

Lissa

I used a three ring binder, with plastic sleeves and tabs (one for birth certificates, one for proof of joint address etc). Except for the swearing in I (the USC) was not asked anything, except informal chit chat from the interviewer (about our respective govt jobs).

good luck...

It doesn't matter how you organize it, as long as you know where to find everything. The interviewer will probably ask you for certain items (e.g. "do you have joint insurance?"), and then you have to locate it and give it to them. They don't usually look through your binder themselves.

There's no set order for how the interview will go, it depends on your officer and how they feel like proceeding. In our interview she would look at me (USC) and ask, "Where is his (DH's) place of birth?" Then she would look at him and ask, "When's her birthday?" She didn't alternate exactly but she did ask both of us questions. But that's just how our interview went; I imagine every interview is different.

My husband had ours very organized, he took the 'checklist' they gave us and he put alpha letters beside each item requested. Then he had large manilla enevelopes and alpha'd those according to the sheet. Each time the girl asked for something he quickly got it for her. she said it was great how he was so organized and it all went real quick.
