Need K-2 AOS Interview Experiences

Sorry, I know I posted this just a few minutes ago, but I put the wrong title, so I'm afraid I won't get any good responses, so I've edited the title.

Hi Everyone:

My daughter Kaely's (she's 18 years old) AOS interview is next Wednesday at the Seattle district office.

Because she came to the U.S. after me on a K-2 Visa, I'm wondering what "documentation" I will require for her interview. Of course, her birth certificate, passport, etc. I received my Permanent Resident Status in December of 2004 (over a year ago) so we are not going through the AOS together. She followed to join a year after I came to the U.S.

On the checklist the Seattle office sent us, one of the required items noted is "All documentation establishing your eligibility for Lawful Permanent Resident status". What items do they mean specifically? It's not like for the K-1 applicatant who needs their marriage certificate, photos together, proof of joint bank accounts, mortages, car ownership, insurance, etc.

Anyone who has been to their K-2's AOS interview have any comments or suggestions?

Thanks so much.

Rayma

I'm no expert but I'd say that in this case they want to see proof that she is who she says she is, and that she came here legally and that she really IS your daughter etc.

Kajikit is absolutely correct. They want to see documents that prove her age (a factor of eligibility for AOS from a K-2 visa, so they say). Her arrival document (I-94) to show she arrived within a year of you.

As she is 18 she should have no problems at all. I only wish my son had not had to go through everything he has.

Good Luck next week!
