People who have already attended their Interview . Can you please check and let me know if i am missing anything:

 

1) 2 Photograph

2) 3 Years Tax transcript. ( I have only 2 but i have paid the Taxes for last year. Hopefully it will show no dues by Oct 10th). I have the receipts showing the payment. Will that help?

3) Front and back of the green card.

4) I had a traffic ticket which my lawyer said not to worry. It was already  paid . $367. Should i disclose it at the Interview.

5) Will take the addendum of my Travel history after N 400 was filed.

6) Divorce decree.

 

Please let me know if i am missing anything?

 

Thank you

Ash

 

Here's a shocker - I got through the entire process (including AOS) without submitting tax document. My wife and I always file taxes separately  because it gets her lower student loan monthly payments. However, I walked with 3 years of transcripts for the both of us because I was certain they would ask...my interviewing IO didn't. As a matter of fact she only took updated bank statements spanning from the time conditions on my GC was lifted up to the interview. She said my "file was thick enough". Other people have reported similar stories about additional documents as well. I see you did not mention bank statements...I would advise that you walk with at least one year's worth. You should also walk with originals of the copies you submitted (eg. marriage certificate). I did that but like I said, she was only interested in updated bank statements. 

 

I did not walk with the 2 photos and she asked if had any. 

 

Good Luck!

Thanks! Still trying to decide on what to wear. I love jeans. I wore jeans to my interview. I looked very presentable of course. I was thinking of doing a shirt, tie and blazer with jeans and dress shoes but the wife says no jeans so slacks it is (or is it?). I've heard of people being sent home for wearing jeans but the act of wearing jeans to the oath may not have been the only reason. Some said they wore it with t-shirt and sneakers.

 

BTW: There's no outright ban on jeans like some suggests. They just ask that you "dress in proper attire..."

I think Blazer shirt and tie on jeans will be presentable , my husband had a nice shirt and slacks on ,

but I did see someone with  jeans, shirt and tie , maybe make it a black jeans ?

but I would listen to the wife , not because am a woman but because like they say ( a happy wife makes a happy  husband ) lol and also

 again not my words but the saying goes the wife is always right , :) lol now imagine you are the only one in jeans you will hear it from your wife  for years ,

friends gathering  talking about your big day , and Bamm ( I know I would , lol ) yeah my babe was the original the one and only in jeans , lol 

but take a look at some youtube  gives you an idea how people dress https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=NY+neutalization+ceremony

If you were in the room where there were babies constantly crying then yes we were in the same room :)

 

congratulations to both you and me and best wishes to everyone!

Haha! One of them was mine (in the back, not the one all the way upfront). Family had to be there for this. There was a tossup on whether or not we should take the train...we choose to drive because of the baby. Almost regretted driving. The drive down to Federal Plaza on a day with normal congestion around the time we left 8:45AM is about 1hr. It took us more than 2hrs. Traffic was a nightmare. I check the estimated trip time on Google before leaving and it said 1hr 8mins but that went up to 1hr 46mins when we got to the highway. To make matters worse, the parking lot we scoped out the day before was already at capacity so we had to find another. Still made it to room 310 before 11AM but after sitting with the wife and kids for about 5 mins I found out that I was supposed to be in another room for prepping. 

 

As you know, ceremony started significantly later than 11 so I probably would have made it even if I was a little late. I looked out for anyone standing when Taiwan was called but the room was too crowded. If you were that person looking at me like you knew me right when I was taking my pic after the ceremony, you can say "we met". 

 

Congratulations to you and best wishes with the new level of freedom.

Thanks Lona. I did not wear jeans but there were a few people who did, including one wearing a T-shirt with  the jeans (he looked presentable).
