OK...so another interview question. I was getting everything together for our interview, and I can't find my husband's (he's the American citizen) birth certificate ANYWHERE. All I have is a photocopy of it. What do I do?!?! We can't get one by Thursday. HELP!!!!!!

My USC husband was born in India and he doesn't have a birth certificate. He only has his actual passport and an unclear photocopy of his certificate of citizenship :lol:. I don't feel anything about that part. We will just bring what we have tomorrow.

All the best for your interview!

So...I need to hear from someone who has had their interview. How long did it take? What did they ask? How many photos/supporting documents did you take? How many do they expect??? Any info would be helpful :) My interview is on Thursday and I'm starting to freak out.

Where is your local CIS office? If it's in Boston, MA, see this:

Again, if you read my interview experience in this thread, you will notice that I didn't have to show any proof of the birth certificate as I had already sent off a certified one with the application.

Okay, so my AOS has been touched every (work) day for the past 4 days. Which is great, BUT... I didn't come on a K1, and I haven't been transferred to CSC so I wonder what the deal is.

And in the meantime, I'm still waiting for my EAD and AP while I watch people that filed AFTER me get approved.

Disappointing... sad.gif

I have a question for you. What is your J1 visa saying? Are you subject to 2 years home residency requirement?That is what they might want to know.

I had a J1 before and I had to get a waiver because I had the 2 year thing on my passport. I don't mean to scare you it is just one possible explanation. I hope for your sake that you don't have that 2 year requirement or if you have it that you got a waiver... Good luck!

good luck everyone who will have their interviews this week!
