1-485 interview scheduled in KCMO

[garnet80 1]

I was sure hoping to be among the lucky that are sent to CSC...

But December 14 is our date. Is it a bad sign to get an interview? I just ask because it seems like more people don't, than do?

It says to bring the medical stuff, and affidavit of support papers unless already submitted, which they were with the application... is it safe to assume those are covered?

I'm not quite sure what they mean, documentation establishing your eligibility for lawful permanent residence status?

Then the supporting evidence of our relationship. We don't have much. There are pictures, we share a banking account, and a gas credit card. We are sharing a house with my mother, but it's all in her name. ALl of the utility bills are in her name too. :/

Original and copy of each supporting document that we submitted with our application. Erm... not sure what they're referring to exactly. >.<

The interview is in Kansas City, MO. Has anyone had an interview there? I would like to prepare for what they are are going to hit us with. Is it generally the same everywhere?

I'm suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum this pregnancy and REALLY dread this. :l Sure would have been nice if he'd gotten his work permit, I wonder if they'll even send one now.

Thank you for any help.

Consider yourself lucky that you got an interview. There are 3 other Canadians that I know of that sent in our AOS in May, got transfered to CSC and are STILL waiting for our GC's!!

As for your questions, since I didn't have an interview I am not 100% sure of all the answers. I think the documentation demonstrating your eligibility for lawful permanent residence status would be an original or certified copy of your marriage certificate...showing you fulfilled the requirements of the K-1 visa. As for evidence of your relationship, you could use medical insurance, being named the beneficary on any investments or life insurance policies, car insurance listing you both on it, membership cards for movie rental places with both names, etc.

As for the supporting documents, if you submitted just a photocopy of your marriage certificate they will want to see the original, originals of birth certificates or passports.....anything that you sent with your AOS package as a photocopy, bring the original!

Thank you for your reply. DH isn't working yet, and my job offers miserable health insurance I don't have, we have no life insurance, investments (can't afford anything!), but maybe we can get a membership somewhere together. Thank you for the idea. The rest sounds easy enough, I appreciate your help!

We really couldn't care less when the GC is issued we just want the work permit. Wish we could trade spots lol.
