Can someone break this down a bit more because I see a ton of things on youtube with people making personalized booklets to bring to the interview along with answers to questions they may need to answer.

ok so no one can break it down here instead of forwarding me to website?

I’m from Brazil and I’ll tell you: that list onthe website is the only thing you’ll need to follow. It’s pretty simple and direct. No need for booklets or pretty folders. Just have him bring the required documents from that list and he’ll be absolutely fine.

 

He will receive a sheet of paper upon entrance listing the order he’ll need to put the documents in. 

 

That’s it. No secrets. As long as he answers all questions truthfully, he’ll be fine. The interview itself will probably take around 5 minutes.

Not hard to look at the website, everything is in there.

 

Bonus thing to bring to the interview is a copy of the us petitioners birth certificate, which is not on the list but was asked during my interview a few years ago.

 

other than that, my most sincere advice is READ and get ahead of this journey. If you need spoon feeding at this point, aos and later on roc will be a hard pill to swallow.

These couple word posts and few sentences  is what scars me. Usually people here get into more detail. I need a spoon and a bowl because like many people here I get worried just as they do. I’m not here everyday either and just lost a friend so I figured I could just get a quick answer 😐

It’s all in the website, broken down by documents needed. Not sure what else you would need other than reading. It’s your visa journey so to successfully get on with it, it’s in your best interest to read and research.
