couple of questions regarding to interview

[alexander79 0]

Hi Everyone,

For the inerview it says "bring all documentation establishing your eligibility for lawful permanent resident status. I am guessing that would be the marriage certificate and supporting documents. This is new 'cuz I don't know what would be the documents that supports my eligibility other than marriage related documents. I was on the F-1 visa status prior to my application for adjustment of status but I do not thnk this would refer to myF-1 visa and I-20 forms etc. One other thing is that it also asks for us to bring my spouse's birth certificate and her evidence of U.S. citizenship. How does a U.S. Citizen prove that he or she is a citizen other than the birth certificate. If anybody knows smth about these two issues I'd appreciate the answer.

Thank you

I adjusted from an F1 visa also, Well to prove your eligibility, you need to prove you are married and there is a co-mingling of your finances. There are documents (you don't have, to have them all, but the more the better!) with both your names on it, such as a lease, house deeds, car insurance, health insurance, 401k, credit cards, bills, cell phone, bank account (VERY IMPORTANT) and joint tax returns (ALSO IMPORTANT), we even had a copy of out vet records for our dog! Another thing they might want to see are letters addressed to you both from friends and family.

About proving ur spouses citizenship, your correct in saying that her birth certificate is proof, also her US passport and also this doesn't apply to you but also citizenship papers would be proof too!

Hope this helps a little, good luck

Alexander79-don't forget to bring your EAD card-I guess you got one already.

An US passport will be the alternative proof of US citizenship.

You also need to show evidence that you are here legally in the first place, that's part of what makes you eligible for adjustment along with your marriage to a USC.

For example, my husband was a VWP adjuster, so he had to show his I-94. Not sure about all the details for an F-1 visa holder, but I think you get my point.

You should bring eveything that is connected with your previous status, it may come up so you need to be ready. U should bring your I-94, I-20. As far as provong the U.S. citizenship, the letter means you can bring a birth certificate or other documentation proving U.S. ctizenship. Since your spouse has a birth certificate, that is all he will need to bring to prove citizenship if she was born here. Some people are citizens of the US but weren't born here,so their birth certificate won't prove anything. Therefore they need to bring the bc along with a document proving US citizenship. If she has a passport, you should bring it too just in case.

I'm also going to bring all the letters that I have recieved from USCIS to my interview.
