Yes, bring originals to your interview if you submitted photocopies with your N-400 application.

It is the IO's discretion really. I have submitted photocopies before & was never asked for the originals during interview. It's up to you if you bring the original or not. You can submit a photocopy of the Bio page of your wife's US passport instead.

Pancu I don't have much info, but it doesn't seem like crime, it is something that probably you overlooked

This marriage privilege three year seems ridiculous, they have all that information already from the AOS and ROC stages, but want to see it again, and again. No wonder why my wife commented that her file was over three inches thick.

Yes, you have to provide all that information, again, and yes you only send in photocopies. And yes you bring in all the originals you photocopied, but also make sure you leave with all those originals. Your IO has the right to see them, if only just to compare them with your photocopies to make sure your photocopies are not forgeries. Whether they do this or not is up to your IO. If you don't have all of your originals, and they do want to see them, you will experience severe delays and more trips.

You never know what kind of IO you will get. Can wait another two years and skip all this nonsense.
