May 2013 AOS Filer

[Junieko 7]

Congratulations!!

what did you take with you to the interview??

Thanks olsan3! we took every original and a copy of important documents like marriage certificate and birth certificate, which came in handy when the officer couldn't find marriage certificate that we submitted with the form i-130 and i-485. we also brought every supporting documents that we file with i-130 plus new documents (like new utility bills since last submit) which we didn't get asked for them. Tons of photos where we put highlight of each event into one album (about 50 pics) and very detailed into the 2nd album (about 300 pics) which the officer did not asked to see at all and I arranged those photos all night I also brought the copy of I-130 and I-485 packets too. To sum it up, we brought everything we could think of.

ps how did you do losangelesgirl? we had the same interview date. hope you hear good news.

Have you filed for citizenship directly, ( your marriage is 3 yrs already?), i don't think anyone here has done that, we are waiting for green cards, (i-485 adjustment of status). so different boat, but ya our appointment letters has a document checklist.

No. I filed for AOS. They sent me notice of action for interview date. But along with that notice of action they have sent a checklist, which is for naturalization. So I am trying to find out everyone got checklist like that with their AOS interview letter or they sent it to me by mistake.

I think it might be a mistake too. I got interview letter for AOS and with that paper (same page) there are some checklists for document that need to be brought. No neutralization or nothing. plus you can't bring them anyway. first thing they want is for u to bring the green card, which i assume you don't even have it yet.

I would just ignore it. or for ur state of mind you might call them to make sure.

mistake, my checklist was on letter itself, on the back there was a page stating bring all legal documents from any criminal case proceeding any traffic cases where fine was more than $500 etc. etc. i threw it away.

I have checklist on notice itself. But there is separate page which is called naturalization checklist. Juneko, when you say you had same page...does that mean you received a checklist for naturalization? Or was is something else?

Thanks, It went fine, lot of butterflies in the stomach. Got a interviewer from different origin, so i rolled up my sleeves and explained each answer in lil bit detail. but start was little rattled.. He asked how many times u married? i said 0. only this. oops.. he said no zero, u shud say 1. after that i thot even if questions are gonna be not well put, i'm gonna jump in full on with answers. So i did, everything went fine after that, had to explain some of his question to my wife. But we're happy, he made a letter signed it, and gave it me and said ok, you're approved.
