My husband and I (beneficiary) went for the green card interview at Seattle's office yesterday, and this is what took place:

* We presented our current passports to him.

* He took my original I-94 that was in my passport.

* I had to state my full name, birthday, and current address.

* The officer basically asked me all the questions that were on the I-485 form ("Have you been convicted? Have you been deported? Have you assisted people in terrorist attacks" and so forth) and I answered them.

* He asked if I ever had a J visa.

* He asked if I have left the country since entering.

* He asked us how we met, and he took notes.

* He asked me when we knew we wanted to make this official.

* He asked about whether or not I knew my husband was going to propose.

* He asked us where he proposed.

* We showed him proof of our relationship: photos, bank statements with both of our names on them, and lease with both of our names. As he was looking at photos, he did ask us where it was taken and who were in the photos (aside from us).

We had way more prepared but that was it! The interview probably was about 15-20 minutes long. The only thing he kept was the I-94. Everything else, he looked at and gave them back. On the USCIS letter, I know it lists to bring your birth certificate (and English translation) but he did not ask for them. I know all interviews are different, so I would definitely bring everything that's listed on the letter.

Congrats! :) I agree, it's better to take too much than not enough. I believe the birth certificate (with translation) was not asked because already included in the original AOS package you sent (if you did it). The letter is pretty standard and the list is not narrowed to AOS from K-1 only.

Please consider reposting your review in the VJ Reviews section (http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/) so your experience will have more visibility and be useful for future members interviewing in the same USCIS office.
