AOS Interview Checklist

[daniBR 34]

Hey VJ friends,

 

My AOS interview is coming up in 3 weeks. I'm adjusting from a K1 and I'd like to confirm if I have everything they may ask for. I have followed the instructions on the interview letter (although they have requested several items that were already submitted) and of course added more proof of bonafide marriage. This is my current checklist.

 

- Letter of interview notice

- Passports (Mine and my husband's, he's the USC)

- Copy of our Passports

- Original Vaccination Records received from the doctor in my home country during the k1 process - these are complete and still valid as my medical happened in February 2019 in Brazil. I had already submitted a copy of this on the AOS application.

- Copy of Vaccination Records

- I-864: The exact same one we submitted initially but with a more recent date/signature. My sponsor (husband) still has the same job with same salary.

- Supporting docs for I-864: Tax returns and W2 for 2018 (same ones submitted originally), Employment letter (updated) and 2 months of Paystubs.

- My sponsor/husband's birth certificate original and copy

- Copy of my K1 Visa

- Most recent I-94 (From my entry on the K1)

- My birth certificate: Original, copy, and translated copy

- Certified copy of our marriage certificate

- Bank statements of our joint bank account

- Lease Agreement on both of our names

- Joint renters insurance policy

- Our health insurance card with both our names (I'm his dependant)

- His life insurance policy with me as the beneficiary

- His retirement fund policy with me as a beneficiary

- Recent photos: Around 10 photos including some of just the two of us (and our dog) and with friends. We had already submitted photos of the wedding day on the application.

- 3 letters of support from friends and family (we can get more of these, but it doesn't seem necessary)

 

P.S: I have not been issued EAD or AP yet. I applied together with the AOS but got to the interview before any of them was approved.

 

I'd really appreciate any insight on what else to bring or not to bring. Thanks!

To me, your evidence looks strong, and is more than I took to our interview. Good luck!

We took at different tact for out AOS interview.

 

We took the statement  about immigration evidence on the appointment form quite literally. As a consequence, we brought with us every single shred of paper that we had accumulated since starting our immigration journey. It was a good thing. The IO asked to see the original of my divorce decree (I had sent a copy in with my original K1 visa petition, from oh so long ago!). Luckily, I was able to show him the original and a color laser printed copy (for comparison) and offered the copy for his file. I realized he could have asked to anything, but we were prepared, and did not want a RFE.

 

YMMV

Good luck on your immigration journey.
