Papers I brought on my USEM interview

Here is the list of the papers I brought on my USEM interview. I know that I am quite over prepared hehe but I just want to be all prepared because you never know on what kind of paper the consular might ask *wink* The best of luck to all the visa applicants!

UPDATE (Mar. 22, 2011):

*You don't really have to Red Ribbon your Marriage Certificate as the NSO Marriage Certificate is already sufficient enough to submit. I actually regret doing that because it was just a waste of money and time.

*During 2007, DELBROS is the courier who delivers the Visa to the applicants. USEM doesn't use them anymore, instead they are using AIR21.

*The reason why I brought blank DS Forms on my interview so in case I made an error in answering my DS Forms then I have a blank form to correct my mistake.

*Don't forget to pay your Visa fee before your interview date or else the guard in USEM won't let you in. Also, write your name at the front OR back of the payment receipt so in case you lost it (crossing my fingers) then noone can claim it.
