I have my interview on the 10th of September. Anyone got any good advice?

I assume this is a marriage based adjustment (despite your likely student/work/tourist visa). My wife and I just finished our interview, here's what we took.

Forms:

Copy and originals (if we still had originals) of ALL forums and evidence we had submitted. I mean ALL, including copies of EVERY LAST piece of evidence we had submitted. Copy of tax returns, w-2's, my parents info for the I-864, copy and original of our marriage certificate.

Pictures:

Pictures of her with my family

Pictures of me with her family

A few pictures of both families together

Wedding pictures

Trip pictures

Random pictures

Copies of what we felt were evidence pictures on 8.5x11 printer paper (just laid out 2 to 3 pictures per page).

Copies of all biographical info:

My passport (brought original as well)

Her Passport

Copy of her medical information (even though it had been submitted and acknowledged we still took the copy that had been given to us by the doctor).

Evidence:

Copy of her life insurance policy listing myself and her parents as beneficiaries

Letter from her HR listing me as being on her insurance while I was unemployed.

Copy of our joint bank account statement printed from the web.

Letter from our bank noting we had a joint account, both were on the account at starting, current balance and average balance for the previous 6 months.

Letter from our bank

I have my interview on the 10th of September. Anyone got any good advice?

When you prepare your documentation for the interview, follow 100% the checklist that's on your appointment letter and don't get intimidated by some negative experiences that you would probably read about. each case is different, and if your marriage is valid, you have nothing to worry about. Good luck! :star:
