I prepared a flexible binder with protectors to topic specific files like
 
Green Folder: Affidavit of support with a simple Table of Contents and applied detailed post-its on each part of the forms. (Tax Documents, Bank Statements, Employment Verification etc.)
 
Blue Folder: Updated Proof of Relationship (since submission of application), Post-its (September 2016, October 2016..., Hongkong Trip Jan 3-6, Airline tickets, Accommodation,  etc.)
 
Expandable (Accordion type) Folder: Labeled important documents to pull out easily like ( NOA forms, NBI Clearance, Visa Photos, Appointment papers, DS-160...)
 
That's how mine is. As long as its not the hard cover binders because you have to slip the folders through a fair sized hole through the window.

Video regarding USCIS receipt delays from US immigration. While it does not explicitly call out I-751, it no doubt applies to it, grouped in the category "others".

Good to know, thanks! Best of luck! I am pretty much ready as well, just trying to finish bona fide documentation. 

Finally August filers! My husband and I had his interview yesterday at SF location. Our time was 1:20pm but we got in around 12:44pm and got called 5mins later. Took us about 15mins and got approved on the spot.case update status new card being produced this morning 6:20am.
 
Tips: be extra with papers. She was excited that I brought more than what was needed and she liked that we had options of what documents to provide. Anything that shows new address, proof of bonafide marriage like house lease, life insurance. She was even surprised I gave her a Report of Marriage from the Philippines. 
Becareful not to talk too much. I got overly excited and I think she may have misunderstood  some things but its okay.
 
odd thing: He didn’t get a temporary stamp and we were told 2 years conditional starts when we receive the greencard, not from the time we were married. Thoughts?

You can highlight what you want so it’ll be easy. I brought new documents and they were the only papers she took. They will mostly ask for documents supporting bonafide marriage.

Been together for almost 14 years and married for almost 2 years. I will be bringing a lot of photos, health dental insurance, life insurance, bank statements, approved fiance visa application, updated affidavit of support docs just in case. He doesn't really have bills because he has no credit to start of with and he was having a hard time when applying for credit cards due to "lack of permanent residency" or what not.  Which frustrates us a lot. Marriage photos and cards. His work documents because I'm just extra haha. All originals and photocopies, Marriage certificate and such.

Seems like a few folks interview has been scheduled for 2/25. If you know a few resources of what else to bring for the interview along with Q+A's please let me know.

I would say yes, if your co-sponsor has received and filed already. Like for me, since our interview is on 2/25. I'm the petitioner, I will bring my most recent w2 forms and previous tax return files but I have yet to file my tax returns for 2018 since I am still waiting on other documents to arrive. Let me know if that makes sense.

April 15th is the deadline so I will let my bro know to do them soon. 

I received our interview notice as well for 2/25. I would say since you have a co-sponsor, it is best to have them retrieve updated bank statements, proof of income all that jazz to inform the IO that they are very well equipped for you (If they ask for it). I always think its best to bring more documents rather than not enough.

2/25/19 interview day. I got the same standard notice (what others get) on what to bring. I am assuming bring all originals with a photo copy of each document that I already submitted? Do I need my mother’s birth certificate? She was the petitioner and the I-130 is approved. 
 
My USC brother is the co-sponsor on I-864. Do I need any updated documents from him?

I called in due to our EAD renewal was out of processing time and the next day, we received this notice. Waiting for the letter to know when the schedule is! Almost 2 years of waiting!
 

Agreed. San Francisco

Same here! Updated on jan 18 but received the email yesterday.

Does anyone have an example of the structure of the email that they used to send out to their senator about a case? This would be really helpful. I also found that my husbands EAD renewal is out of normal processing time.

I see that you are in the San Francisco location as well! Following! Please don't forget to tag me when you hear something!

Update (for California) from my lawyer - they're seeing interviews being scheduled now for their clients who filed in May / June 2017. The time is slowly ticking towards us filers in August / September 2017... 
 
Keep the faith! Good thoughts and wishes to us all. 

I filed on July 17.. Still waiting... been more than 5 months already  

Similar for me. Filed for EAD renewal in July, but nothing so far.
