Well thanks you all for your kind replies & suggestions.
Now I have interview (AOS based on USC spouse) in 2 weeks.
I have gathered all the docs, like Joint bank statements, joint CC bills, utility bills, phone bills, mail addressed to both of us & separately at our common address, of almost last 12 months. All together the copies are around 250 pages. Now how should I organize it?
Like staple it or what?
Also, is it good idea to have it on separate bunch month wise like all proofs & bills of July together and so on OR should I make it company wise like all BoA bank statements of last 12 months & in a separate bunch all phone bills…
Any suggestion is appreciated.
