@Mish Mish thank you! since I was in F1- STEM-OPT, I had to find all my I-20s from undergrad to grad school. I also had to gather all the visas I had (including visitors visa) and document all the times I traveled to and from the country (which was a lot). I also had list jobs I held in my country. those took me long time (but not that long) to gather. I would also suggest that you have your birth certificate (translated in English) to send a photocopy and that your vaccines are in line with uscis requirements (especially polio).
