We had our interview in January of 05. I remember taking an archive box
full of photos, bills etc etc even including my wife's ultrasound
picture. In the end we were asked for a couple of joint bills, the date
of our wedding and for copies of some of our filing paperwork, that was
it. Then I lugged that big box of stuff home again. The interviewer was
very pleasant and the interview lasted less than half an hour.

Good luck with yours.
