Hi our case went to Texas Service Center so I have plenty of time to prepare an organized book of our evidence (there is a lot)

How is the best way to do this? That is, do they ask year by year so I should organize by year? Or by type of evidence (such as here are all of the boarding passes, here are all of the hotel receipts, etc)

In what way does the interview normally go?

I currently have documents/originals of the copies sent with 1-129, then financial, then proof of having met within 2 yrs. That's in a 1.5 inch binder, all in plastic sleeves. Totally obsessive complusive but I need something to keep me busy so I dont lose my mind.

In a separate 1 inch binder I have additional proof of relationship over the course of our relationship. (Adium chat log, selected emails, email logs, photos, etc) I don't think they will ask to see this notebook, unless they are really masochists but it's best to have it.

Does anyone know how the questions are presented so my fiance is not flipping back and forth trying to find things? There is quite a bit of documentation so I want this to be simple and stress free for him (as possible)

From reading the interview reports I made the conclusion 2 questions are always asked during fiance and spousal visa interviews: how you 2 met and what your us spouse/fiance does for living. And so often those are the only question asked. Prepare well for them, give as many details as you can, sound enthusiasts and loving.

I personally arranged the docs by the type: personal docs, financial docs, proofs of bona fide relationship, etc.
