Hi! I received a text this morning from USCIS notifying me that I have been scheduled for an interview on the 25th of June. I have not yet received an actual paper notification in the mail giving more details as to the location of the interview and what not, but my questions to you are:

  • What paperwork (if any) should I start preparing for the interview?
  • What kinds of things do they ask? (can I even ask that here?) haha
  • Will this interview be just for me or both my husband and me?
  • Do you have any tips for this?

Now that I am typing this, I should probably wait to get the paper notice first. However, these questions keep on popping up in my head! rolleyes.gif

Edit:

PS: sorry if this is in the wrong forum! (Which happened with my first post not too long ago..)

it will take less than a wk to get the hardcopy. ours took 3days.

anyways on the letter it will tell u what to bring. but VJ'ers advice bring everything. same evidence from K1 stage. goodluck

I'll check again today since it has been about 3 days.

I didn't go through the K1 stage.. We met and got married while I had my F-1 student status. I'll look at the guidelines for K1 so I can get an idea of what a need to gather. I'm assuming I'll have most of it since we ended up sending in over a pound of paperwork and evidence when we submitted all the AOS application. content.gif
