AOS Interview!

[Rippchen 0]

Hi all,

 

This is in regard to K1/AOS marriage based Green Card:

 

We are preparing for our AOS interview in the States on Monday, and have a few final questions as we prepare our packet. Thank you for all replies and support!

1. Should we bring originals and copies of documents in two separate binders (i.e. will one have to be left there? or can documents all be in one binder?)
2. So far we have included:

• - copy of I-129F K1 petition in full
• - copy of all K1 documents to sent to my husband in his home country
• - copy of full 1-485 AOS/EAD packet
• - copy of full response to RFE (updated I-865 with new evidence)
• - original and copy of husband's birth cert
• - original and copy of my birth cert
• - certified copy of marriage license
• - explanation of exemption from I-693
• - copies of all additional paperwork re: immigration from USCIS
• - letter of employment for my husband's job
• - photo evidence of our marriage including legal ceremony and reception party, with a few photos in between
• - signed rental agreement for our living arrangement
• - loan approval for our car
• - declaration page of insurance for our car

 

We are of course bringing passports and a copy of my husband's I-94.

Do you think this will be enough? We've reviewed the I-797C checklist but I still have some anxiety that we're missing something and will somehow come up empty handed if asked... Basically, the interviewer should have copies of everything we've submitted already, and we are theoretically just bringing copies for if they've misplaced a thing, right? Plus additional evidence since submitting the I-485 AOS/EAD packet?

 

THANK YOU to anyone who read this far and to those that reply. Can't wait till this is behind us. Good luck to you all!

Given that you filed in January 2017, did you submit your 2016 federal tax return with the affidavit of support? It was probably in the RFE, but if not, bring it with you.

Hi Suudsu, 

 

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did submit my 2016 tax return with the updated I-864 for the RFE. However, they say "originals" for so many of these documents - my tax return, for example, I can't bring the original because I mailed it to the IRS...

 

I have a fear that somehow we will not bring the original of something and only a copy. Can anyone weigh in on what they mean exactly?

 

Thank you all!
