you have to bring your spouse on the interview. its a requirement. but most of the questions will be for the applicant. they may ask the spouse few questions.

yes, you go in together😊. for our interview, they just asked original copies of our birth certificates, passports, and marriage cert. for verification. i gave them also proof of relationship like health/renters insurance, utility bill, 401k beneficiary, apartment lease. they said i came for the interview over prepared. which is a good thing i guess.. i brought pictures too but they didnt bother seeing it. the interviewer go over my application for adjustment. verfying all the info's are correct. and then she asked me few questions from the yes/no questions at the end of the application. Affidavit of Support is in good shape. they didnt bother to ask any additional document. and i did another medical exam prior to interview bec. my medical for fiance visa exceeded 1 yr already. but they said my previous medical is still good.

That is weird, usually it is two years since the date your GC is approved .

 your marriage had 2 year anniversary?

 

If not that is a mistake and a lot of people have problems because of it in the future. I would check it cause we hear about it esp especially when they need to naturalize.

I work in HR and I’m pretty sure your husband can start without his Social Security card. All he need to bring is his EAD and passport for the i-9 verification. Social Security card is listed on List C of acceptable documents BUT it doesn’t have to have any notes. In your husband’s case, his SS probably has a note saying “Valid for work only with DHS authorization”

 

Please see the attached image for your reference

That's what I thought too, but both companies were being a pain about it, I assume because they wanted to do background checks. We ended up getting the SSN card exactly one week after the EAD card. On the day before it came, we waited 2 hours at the SS office for them just to tell us it's coming in the mail and they couldn't even tell us the number until then. At least my husband can FINALLY start work this week. What a long 6 months it has been.

You need to get it corrected. The "residence since" date is supposed to be the day you were APPROVED. Marriage date doesn't mean anything to USCIS except to know if you get a 2 year or 10 year GC. Sorry this happened. It just happened to me too. Mine has our filing date from 2017 on it. I'm going to an Infopass tomorrow to talk to them about it. I really suggest you do the same. We are supposed to do ROC in 2020, not 2019.

hi. did you do the infopass already? what did they tell you? i am thinking. if it will expire oct. 2020. then i will be eligible for naturalization by then bec. i would be 3yr. married by 2020. but i will try to call uscis about it.

My Infopass is actually next week so I will let you know. Naturalization is 3 years after you are a permanent resident, not 3 years after you are married.
