Hey everyone!

Hubby will hopefully have an Oct or Nov interview! Can anyone advise what he needs to bring with him the day of the interview? I have made copies of every packet we've submitted so far (I-130, AOS, and IV) for him just in case. Does he need to bring anything else with him or nothing? Advice is greatly appreciated so we can be super prepared!!

Thanks! :D

From our experience be sure to bring the 2011 tax documents for sure. We submitted our 864 to NVC before april 15 so didnt have 2011, had 2008-2010 a currently pay stub, a letter from the employer and it wasnt enough. Because we interviewed in August we had to also have the 2011 tax returns so be sure you are up to date on all your 864 stuff. On the plus side the two men we dealt with at the embassy were superbly nice and very friendly and helpful, they really made us feel at ease about it. I the USC was there with my wife for the intevriew.

Good luck
