What to do with all the paperwork once Visa approved?

[LondonWelsh 0]

Just wondering what is the best thing to do with all the paperwork after the Visa is approved?

I've been a big fan traditionally of keeping any and all paperwork but I'm aware that we need to keep it to a minimum for moving, which we're doing next week!

Is there any need to keep any of it?

I'm talking about the forms, copies of evidence etc? What did other people do, have you ever found it useful?

I didn't need half the evidence I collected for the interview anyway but it feels weird just binning (shredding!) it!

Thanks for any advice

Best to keep everything until you've gone through naturalization if that is your desire.

Save them until you are sworn in as a US citizen then use them in a fireplace, firepit, or BBQ afterwards.

Keep the important documents like birth certificates and such, of coure.

You could also scan and create digital backups of the lot, in case you ever want to look back and see anything or, I dunno, show your grandkids how much paperwork you had to fill out to be there. I dunno.
