AOS interview after 2 months being married

[sweetyouandme 0]

Hello! We will have an interview for AOS soon, I got a notice that it will be soon, probably in few weeks or a month. We have been married only for 2 months, I don't have much proof of our life together...Ofcourse, I have house keys, gym membership together, some letters coming for me in the mail to our house, photos from the wedding, but nothing much more...He could add me on his bank account probably but the bills come in his mother's name (they bought the house together where we all live). What could I bring as a proof of our life together? What else is important for that interview, what I cannot forget or what should I know before? Thanks!

When you say you got a notice that your interview will be soon, are you referring to the update is case status that says your interview is ready to be scheduled? Or have you actually received an interview date? Only asking because if it's the first one, and you just filed AOS in the last couple of months, you likely have a while before you actually are summoned for an interview, if at all. That case status update doesn't necessarily mean you'll have an interview, and you might well stay stuck on that status for months and one day find that it's suddenly changed to tell you your green card is in production without ever having an interview.

 

if your interview is coming up immediately, don't worry too too much about the evidence as they are aware that at that point you're still just starting your life together. The evidence of ongoing relationship and co-mingling of finances will become much more important in 2 years when you file for ROC. Have him add you onto his bank account as that is pretty easy to do, and bring the statements showing both of your names. Does he have a credit card? Even if you can't be added as a joint account holder yet you may be able to be added as an authorized user on the same card. Do you have a driver's license/state ID yet? Do both of your IDs show the same address? If so, you can include a copy of those. 

 

Every case is different, but we did have an interview for AOS and the thing our immigration officer was most interested in was pictures (so it was fortunate that we brought two full albums of them!). She had us go through the albums and each pick our favourite 5 photos. Once we did, she gave us each a pen and told us to label the backs of each photo with the location and date and the names of the people in the photo with us. I had happened to pick all photos with other people in them, including a giant family photo from our wedding, so by the time I finished writing every name my hand was cramped and the back of the photo was full!!

Thank you very much for the info! I opened myUSCIS and my case status, entered the receipt number and it tells: 

 

Case Is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview

 

As of August 14, 2017, we are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSC1791525640, for an interview. We will schedule your interview and send you a notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

 

Do you think it could be only after few months or don't have an interview at all? I hope, when they would send me a letter soon or in few months, it doesn't get lost somewhere and I really receive it, so I would not miss my interview...

If your status only just recently changed to that then even if you do have an interview, it likely won't be for a few more months. But again, you might not have one at all. That case status does not guarantee you will have an interview. If your status changes in a few months to something like "Your Card is in Production" and you never got an interview notice, then you'll know it was just approved straight through without requiring an interview. That happens to many people.
