It doesn't hurt. In the interview they are just looking for ways to substantiate your relationship. The best things to have are statements from your bank and/or utilities that have both your names on it. But again, bring as much information as possible, because it's better to have it than not.

It wouldn't hurt, but that's more for the 10 year green card. If you send in enough evidence such as that for your 10 year card, they will approve you without an interview.

But if you don't think you have enough evidence to back you up for conditional permanent residence, I guess this wouldn't hurt!

We may bring a couple of emails that relatives sent to both of us. But I would not ask for a letter just for the interview.

12-07-2005 Attempt at interim EAD at San Francisco office -- no go. Back to San Jose, where CSO (chief station officer) tells they will contact MSC via email to request permission to issue interim EAD

12-08-2005 Biometrics for AOS and EAD. Having no EAD appt letter was no problem (used EAD NOA)

12-15-2005 EAD arrived in the mail

12-24-2005 Received interview letter; interview scheduled 03-01-2006

01-28-2006 Received replacement SSN card in married name (5 wks since application)

A friend of mine was initially rejected for AOS until she came back with more proof of shared domicile/ongoing relationship -- apparently they didn't have enough to satisfy the adjudicator. She went back with a sheaf of notarized letters from family. friends, the mayor (who knew both of them), and the mail carrier (who confirmed that he delivered mail to both of them at the same residence)........and got her AOS.

I personally didn't take any with me for my interview, but like others have said, it wouldn't hurt. :)

*Cheryl -- Nova Scotia ....... Jerry -- Oklahoma*

Jan 17, 2014 N-400 submitted

Jan 27, 2014 NOA received and cheque cashed

Feb 13, 2014 Biometrics scheduled

Nov 7, 2014 NOA received and interview scheduled
