ddluvsgg, if you have the pictures why wouldn't you take them with you? I took 400 pics. Of course they only looked at a few but the point is be prepared with ANYTHING you have. There is no special combination of stuff for you to take.

Brandy big congrats!! you know what i find interesting about our experience with Domex in contrast with others is that when we asked to have it mail to the Santiago office so we could pick it up, the lady there said NOOO it will be mailed to his home address and we were like ok no need to scream! Embarrassed

but the funny part was that it only took 2 days after the interview for the passport and envelope to get to his house.

I know, I was so surprised at how smoothly everything went while we were there. She looked at the almost all f our pictures and we only had about 60 pictures. Of course I have like 1000 at home, but I didn't want to bring all of them with me.
