Hello,

So we had to reschedule our first appointment which was on the 10th of august and I THINK we've got a new appointment for the 16th of December today.... but honestly, I have no idea.

It looks very different from the first appointment letter and instead of 1 letter just stating "hey hey come to interview and bring proof of marriage" we got a big chunk of papers....

The appointment letter doesn't state my receipt number and nothing has changed on Uscis.org either. However, there is an A-number and everything else seems to be correct.

But they included the I-693 and the Affidavit of Support (I-864) forms and ask us to bring these with us... We already filed those in the application and included and never got an RFE. I mean, I have copies of the I-693 still so I can bring that again, but do we really need to fill out the I864 again...? -_- Why would they ask for it in the application and now again?

Also, 'bring originals and photocopies' - We don't have much photos printed out so I just figured I'd pick a few from Facebook and print them out and bring... We're a young couple and don't really use paper and 'real photos' anymore... would this work?

I'm not really nervous about this, I'm just slightly confused and a bit annoyed if we have to file out a bunch of stuff again... Like ask for an employment letter again and W-2's and stuff (my husband, the US Citizen) hasn't worked at his work for a year yet and therefore doesn't have any W-2, but we wrote an additional letter about this and they seemed to accept it...

I dunno, any input would be helpful. Did they recently change the design of the appointment letters?

It's probably an interview letter issued by a local office, as opposed to the first one which probably came from the NBC. They look different (the local office ones are a little less formal) but both are equally as legitimate.

Alright.

I'm very lucky as I was planning on going home to Sweden two days after the appointment for christmas. I have an AP. Should I bring this up after the interview? If they approve us they might give me a stamp in the passport or something? Or is that something else?
