Hello! So far the process is flying by - my fiancé and I sent our petition at the end of December and my Visa appointment is booked for April 20th at Montreal! I'm excited, but I can't help fretting about the documentation. Does anyone have recommendations for how to organize your files (i.e. what is the order of files that are asked for at security, in the consulate, at the interview, etc.)

I have the following, am I missing anything?

-DS-160 confirmation page

-The instructions page that I received when I scheduled my interview

-The copy of the approved I-29F form that they sent me with packet 3

-My passport with a photocopy of the biographical info page

-My long-form birth certificate and a photocopy

-My police criminal record check from my local police (the writing on this is quite light and I am having trouble photocopying it.)

-A photocopy of my fiancé's birth certificate and passport biographical info page (but not the original)

-Photographs of our relationship and plane tickets

-Letter of intent to marry and photocopy

-I-134 original and photocopy

-My fiancé's electronic bank statements and tax return

-A copy of my fiancé's NSF fellowship letter (which is his source of income as a PhD. candidate)

-A copy of my fiancé's funds in stocks

-Passport style photographs (I got six of these since they ask for some at the medical too)

-A copy of NOA2 and the letter from the NVC. (My fiancé still has the originals)

I don't have the medical documents yet since my medical isn't until April 8th. Am I missing anything else? I really don't want a RFE!
