AOS Interview letter

[Sapphire1965 5]

Ok this is my Question will try not to complete this, my interview letter asks for a whole host of evidence and documents all of which were submitted with my original application, my work permit and travel authorisation have been approved and am awaiting production of my EAD card. Now do I need to produce copies and or originals of all the things listed on my interview letter? Also, I was unable to locate my DS3025 when I filed my application and sent a covering letter to explain that a copy of this was inside the brown envelope submitted at POE and my medical was signed off a complete. I was never given an RFE for this and assumed they were happy with that and had located the document because I had got my interview date. Now on the letter it says you need to bring with you the I693 and vaccination supplement if not already submitted. I dont have one as I didnt bother to get one because as explained in my cover letter with original AOS application and assumed they had located it. So do I now need to go and get one of these done before my interview. Please can somebody advice me as im getting a little panicky now and really dont want to screw up at this stage. please please advise. Thank you VJ you are a god send. :-)

Supply similar letter, bring originals and good copy's for your interview, There are some good guides and posts to assist you here.

I'm in a similar situation to you; I included a copy of my DS3025 with my AOS application, received my notice this past Thurs that my interview is Nov 9th. Took a risk not having the I-693 done, but so far, knock on wood, no RFE.

I've heard, in very rare cases, that they could give you an RFE at the interview, which would really suck!!

I'm not quite sure what to do either...

The letter is generic and most of your documents are already submitted. I know people who worried about the medical, but the one in their file was all that was needed. There is always the chance that somehow your whole medical didn't make it to the interview office, but I wouldn't worry about that until they actually go through your papers and say "I can't find your medical results." I also know people who fretted over the reference to I-693, but it wasn't even brought up and their DS-3025 in the file was fine for proof of immunization. You're not approved until after your interview so there's a remote chance that you get a cranky IO or something is missing from the file. Take evidence of marriage that you have gathered and some photos that weren't submitted. Take the real marriage certificate in case they want to verify it. There's lists all over this forum. But I would leave the medical just as it is until they tell you at the interview if they need something else concerning it.

Sort of off topic here but this is all good to know for when the time comes. We filed our AOS packet and received our NOA1 on 8/18, had his biometicts on 9/13 and have not heard a peep. No EAD, AP or letter for AOS interview, nothing

Starting to worry a bit cause financially I am struggling and my poor husband is so bored sitting in all the time. God I hope it comes soon, your timelines give me some hope though!

Good Luck with your interview, Im sure things will be just fine. Please let us know how you get on. I wish my interview was a little sooner as its 7 weeks away which seems so long, but cant wait until its over at least for 2 years. lol its been quite a journey but the hardest part was waiting for the K1 which im sure we all agree on. Keep the faith,

Hi Nich Nick. Your info is invaluable as im sure youv'e heard a million times, it was you who advised me to do a cover letter about the DS3025, I have submitted wedding photos and various others from the last 3 and half years of our being together in different locations. I also sent my original Marriage Cert and have 2 more originals at home one of which I will be taking on the day, I think just to cover every aspect I will take copies and where applicable original of what is required from the list on the interview letter. There is no problem with this. Just the medical part, but as I said to my husband no point spending money that we may not need to as im quite confident they must have located this within my envelope submitted at my POE, but you never know they may raise a question to this on the day and if that is the case we shall just need to go to a civil surgeon and get the required document completed. I do have with me my vaccination records from my GP in England so it covers the fact that all immunization were carried out I also had a blood test done at GP's which is recorded on my medical history, a copy of which I have regarding varicella as I had chickenpox as a child so no need for that vaccination.

Thanks again for you help and advice. Will keep my timeline updated and let you know how I get on. :-)

I hope your case starts to move along for you soon

I know exactly what you mean; living on one income can be quite a struggle sometimes. I'm also starting to get pretty bored..! Of course I should have done something productive with all this free time, like take an online course, learn a new language or something, but I haven't. Never thought that I'd be so eager to get out there and work LOL

I was surprised to say the least to have my interview so soon. When I saw the envelope in the mailbox, I automatically assumed the worst and thought it was an RFE or a problem with my biometrics (they had to take my fingerprints a couple of times) I was shaking like a leaf..! Hopefully it will be fine. I don't have a lot of hard evidence to take to the interview, just really health insurance, joint checking and savings accounts; we've only been married for 3 months..! As well as wedding photos, some snail mail addressed to us both etc. Hoping they will take that into consideration...

I agree, waiting for the K1 was by far the worst part.

Hope everything goes well for you too
