Hi, Congratulations on your interview date notice! Now it is time to get ready.

When you get the interview letter in the mail, there will be a list of recommended documents to bring with you. Some you may have already filed and others are proof of bona fide marriage. There are tons of forums that adress how to properly prepare for the interview. And finally to answer your question, definitely take pictures with you, but not just pictures.

Good luck! :)

OK, great thank you, I must admit I thought I would just need to take originals of the docs I submitted. I will eagerly wait for the letter and start preparing everything. I hope everything is going well with yours, It looks like your interview is the day before mine!

Hi everyone,

I filed my AOS on 31st January, changing from an O-1 visa to Green Card. A couple of questions:

1. I received duplicate receipts for all my forms - is that usual?

2. Today my case status for I-131 was changed to say it has been approved - great! However, for I-765, it says they have noted a change of address. What I don't understand is that I have not submitted a change of address, or done anything where that information would have gotten to them. Any ideas as to why that happened and if it will affect the receipt of my EAD/AP card?

Thanks.
