Hi Everyone,

I am currently gathering my items for our interview on June 25th. This is mainly for me to talk through it and track here because I would like your opinions and figured we can bounce off of each other. Here is a tentative list of items I will be bringing:

-My husband (lol)

-Interview notice

-My CT issued drivers license (since it asks for government issued ID)

(It asks for I-693, but they already have that)

-I864-they already have it, but I am bringing the copies I provided them initially, along with his most recent paystubs, and mine

-Documentation establishing Lawful Permanent Resident Status

a) Will my marriage certificate suffice? (copies as well)

-My passport, that has my I-94 card fastened inside it, declaring my L1-B status, and copies

-My birth certificate (long and short) and copies

-My husband's passport and birth certificate and copies

-It asks for marriage certificate again...is the above mentioned redundant?

Supporting evidence

a) Bank statements from checking and savings accounts

b) My life insurance with my husband as my beneficiary

c) My 401k with my married name, and my husband as my beneficiary

d) Mortgage commitment letter with both our names on it (we're about to be poor)

e) Rental agreement from our apartment

f) Photos from our relationship from 2007-Present,

g) Flight itineraries from Canada-USA for visits.

h) Emails from when we first met (the clean ones!) LOL! Totally kidding.

i) My new social with my married name

....is there anything I am missing...or have I over done it? Funny enough, I submitted most of this stuff with our initial petition.

Let's chat about pending interviews!

No, I don't think you're over doing it.

We brought about the same amount of stuff :)

Most of the interview consisted of the IO asking us simple questions about each other like how we met and where we work.

IO also asked to see our pics and if we brought anything else to show him.

But he never got around to looking at anything else other than our pictures.

We were in and out in 10 minutes I think.

I mostly brought everything I did for peace of mind :)

Good luck! You'll do just fine :)

Sounds good ChimCham,

The only thing that I would add is your Husband's SSN, you never know if you may get a picky interviewer who will ask for it. I would also include your Husband's DL or State ID for the same reasons.

Don't forget your current EAD

:)

Thanks for that! I will add it to my list....no EAD, since I work, but after this workday today I wish I had got it! :wacko:

The only ID mine asked for for my wife was the state ID, so good to bring that along, for sure.

If you want to slim down the packet you can leave the I-864 that you already sent them home. They have it or they would have RFE'd you...thats why the notice says, "unless already provided" by those things. No biggy though.

You will do great, I am sure! :dance:
