Question about what to bring to interview

[aspo]

I have my marriage based green card interview soon, and just wanna ask everyone about what to bring to the interview. So, I heard that I should put the photos on an 8.5x11 page in thumbnail format so that I can hand them to the examiner, instead of bringing a whole album. This is because the photos on a separate page will be put into my immigration file for future reference as well, so it's good for my file. I just wanna ask everyone here who's already had their interviews, is this really necessary?

Also, should I make copies of all the documents I bring to the interview in advance?

I also heard that too much preparation might make the examiner suspicious as well, so I just wanna ask people with experience about what I should do.

Thanks!

Getting the 8.5x11 pictures is not necessary, as a matter of fact dont do it. Just bring your album with all the pictures with you.

The IOs like you making copies of them especially if they are for things that will stay with them. For example copies of bank statements and utility bills. They dont like making copies for you. They are not your copy makers and they have alot of interviews to do so making copies gives them time to do other stuff.

thanks for the tip.

If the IO asks for the bank statements and I tell them to keep what I bring to the interview (could be the original) because I can always print again from my online bank account, is it OK? Or does it have to a copy version? I'm getting paranoid about what they want, so any advice helps.

thanks.
