Hi everyone, my interview is tomorrow and me and my husband have got everything we think we could possibly need for it to go smoothly. We're an expedited case so i'll be listing what we're taking in the AoS Packet as well as the IV and Supporting Evidence of Bona Fide Marriage Documents. He will be going with me as well since we live together overseas.

If you could just take a moment to let me know if everything looks good as far as complete, that would be great. We're not worried about errors on the forms as they have been reviewed already and ready to submit.
