I-485 Interview Friday - Feedback on Documentation We are Bringing

[106206 15]

We are going in Friday for I-485 initial interview & want to get this right the first time.

I think we are going in heavy but prepared with a clear and crisp message.

Everything is prepared exactly like it was with the I-130/I-485 filing - clipped, stick-on tabs forming an index, and with a cover page. We are bringing nothing that we cannot leave there, short of passports.

What is missing if anything?

Thanks

I think you have a nice amount! Dont forget tax returns and dont do what I did and bring the online tax return filing(If you filed online)

. She really didnt like that at all. Fortunately I had the bank statement from our joint checking that showed IRS refund deposits.

All the best!
