Our Interview is August 30, and I am beginning to feel the stress too!!!
I am attaching a list of items we have prepared. I prepared my application by using document and photo sleeves followed by having the items bound together, I also had a second copy made for USCIS in case they wanted to keep anything. I hope the attached list helps. Good Luck!!! :)

A what? are the attached pictures monchichi? the writing on the "mystery packages" loosly translates as follows

Mon1 = Osaru (monkey) no Monkichi ( Monchichi)
Mon2= Torameri Degozaru"there is transparancy"
Mon3= Anshin Degozaru "have peace of Mind"

Peter~Lemonjello is an English Angora Rabbit
 
Monchichi was a joke - It was furry animal doll from the 80's
Anyways,
......You have stummped the Kindergaten Teacher!!
I guess the CSET I had to pass didn't cover that lol !!
The Angora Rabbit is adorable. :)
 
i think I recall monchichi now after doing a google search,

PeterLemonjello our Angora is considered our firts child. He is very special we take him everywhere with us, we even have a leash and let him play at beach, or park
 
Probably mentioned this before, but bring all the originals you made copies of to send in, plus copies of them - and bring the originals and copies of all your forms, letters, basically all coorespondance with USCIS.
 
Having an interview tomorrow. Do you need a new I-864(affidavit of support) for the interview? I already sent one I-864 with other forms in early May. thanks.

Unless something has changed, its not required, but I would bring it just in case. what's your timeline?
 
Documents I have prepared just in case:

- wife's report cards from gardes 1-12, college transcripts inlcuding grad
school, just in case the USCIS thinks she's not too bright for marrying a
foreigner

- my reports cards from k-12, plus college, just in case they think I'm not too
bright for marrying a Yank (oh wait, my wife has a master's and I don't, do
you guys think that will be a problem? Do you think the USCIS will think this
marriage is a sham? Oh but wait again, my GPA was .02 higher than her's in
college, can that cause a problem? Oh man I am so scared)

- my driver's ed test showing I passed the first time so that the USCIS won't
think I will be a bad driver (I got one question wrong about how far from an
intersection you have to be to parallel park, do you think that could cause
a problem? what if the IO is a real stickler for parking rules? Someone
please help!!

- an affidavit from the bum down the road saying he has seen me and my wife
staggering home drunk together many a Friday night (this is just in case the
USCIS think I may drink and drive, the bum will attest to the fact I
walk home when drunk). Wait do you think the fact I drink beer Friday nights
will be a problem? What if the IO is a Mormon? Please advise me ASAP.

- an affidavit from our dog's psychologist which will say that our dog has
known us since birth 2.5 years ago and that we really are a legitimte couple
and that we treat the dog nicely (just in case the USCIS may think I'm
mean to animals and he's some kind of PETA nut)

- birth certificates of every human I have ever met, and a certfied copy just
in case, translated into French, Spanish, German, Farsi and Hebrew...just in
case the IO speaks one of those languages...oh no I didn't get a Swahili
translation, do you guys think that may cause a delay? Damn those Swahili
translators and their delays!!!

- pay stubs from my first job as a paper boy just in case the IO thinks I don't
work. Oh crap, I only made $20 a week at that job which is way below the
I-864 minimum. What should I do? Get a sposor? And if so should I include 3
years of tax returns even if my sponsor made $190,000,000,000 last year
but only made $15,200 in 2004?

Anything else you might think of? I am so scared. I haven't even got my interview notice yet and am already panicking. PLEASE HELP!!!
 
That's what we have so far....still hoping to get an interview one day.....

- Proof of 9 overseas trips (+2 in the next months) we did together in the last two years. Proof includes boarding passes (some got lost), hotel receipts, pictures.
- 804 wedding pictures on a DVD (we'll print some of them). Album hasn't been done (mother-in-law is taking care of it)
- Engagement ring receipt :eek: (They should make me a citizen right away with that....oh...wait....I paid cash....maybe not :p )
- Wedding invitation, wedding RSVP cards, wedding cards from friends & family (wait....I did throw out the envelopes.....am I in trouble? :D )
- 401k with wife as sole beneficiary.... (knocking on woods right now...and I don't tell you what we do in Italy instead... :p )
- Life insurance with her as sole beneficiary (knocking on wood even more)
- A couple of Amex and electricity joint bills.
