Hi all,

Could anyone tell me, with regards to the additional documents, does my husband have to bring original marriage certificate, birth certificates, etc, or can we bring copies?

Also, is it expected that the spouse (US Citizen) attend the interview with the immigrant?

When I went for my interview earlier this month the IO didn't ask about my spouse at all.

I had all my original documents, but other than my DL and passport she didn't ask for any of them (even the ones listed on the yellow letter).

Ancillary to this, should we bring anything not mentioned on the yellow letter or the interview letter, e.g. tax returns...?

If you're applying based on marriage, yes, I think you should bring tax returns and anything you can think of that can act as supporting proof of your legitimate relationship, for example, joint bank account statements.

If you've been out of the country for a long time, I think you should bring evidence that you did not break your residency in the US.

If you've been arrested, bring court documents.

Basically, bring anything that might bolster your case. You won't be denied because you don't have the required information, but sometimes things come up in the interview and they ask to see additional information. If you have everything with you, you'll save yourself the trouble of having to respond to a formal RFE.

Yes ! take you originals ! I sent my husband to his interview last month without them, and guess what ?! the interviewing officer asked to see them ! He told the officer that I (his wife) assembled his paperwork and must've forgot to place it in there. Interviewer then moved on.... We got lucky... Don't take that chance.
