I should have had more proof of marriage in the form of mail. He said the more the better in terms of having proof that we live at the same address. I had previously submitted our lease and utility bills but I should have brought more recent copies. 

Hope that helps!

The most helpful!!

thank you!

Sure. I brought originals of everything, printouts of all the forms submitted, photos, 2019 tax returns (not previously submitted)...

 

What they actually asked for:

- Passport (scanned it)

- Original marriage certificate (scanned it)

- 2019 tax returns

- Photos*

- Proof that we planned a wedding this year but had to cancel due to COVID*

- Bank statements

 

*They didn't ask for these things specifically, they just asked if we had anything else to give them. 

 

I should have had more proof of marriage in the form of mail. He said the more the better in terms of having proof that we live at the same address. I had previously submitted our lease and utility bills but I should have brought more recent copies.

Yes, we were approved. If you live together I suggest bringing as much mail as possible that proves you both live at the same address. Otherwise, it sounds like you have a good amount of proof.

That should be fine. I told them I was in a rush and they were able to complete everything within a week of my original appointment.

Just finished interview this morning in Honolulu, HI

* I didnt get a medical exam in the US. We used DS3025 from K1 

* Everything that was submitted with application (bithcertificate, marriage certificate, I94..), she did not ask for extra copies or original documents

*Proof of marriage - wedding photos/lease/ tax return <-The interviewer was happy with what we submitted, did not ask for more proofs

* Make sure to wear a face cover, and bring your own pen

 

hope this would help~

Greencard received. exactly one week after my interview

Nothing too exciting on our end yet, still waiting on invite from Chicago office, but wanted to report a super fast EAD/AP combo renewal.  

 

My combo card won't expire until April, but since we'll have to fly to Europe in May 2021 for a wedding (assuming COVID won't cause issues by then) I figured I should file for a EAD and AP renewal on the EADs 6 month mark. 

 

Send it to them on Oct 8th, received by them on Oct 10th, pro date Oct 12th and by Nov 30th it was approved as a combo card valid till end of Nov 2021. 

Honestly didn't expect it to be combo card because, despite lack of official source, every other source I could find indicated that I'd be too early for the AP, so I was expecting approval for EAD and denial for AP.

 

Card is being produced, now I'm just waiting for it to be send.

Yeah, it's one year from date of approval. Based on the processing times I expected it to be approved Q1/Q2 2021, but I can't complain, this fulfills my purpose after all. Besides, renewals are free anyways.

Ah that's cool, guess we don't have to wait too long for that invite then. 

 

Did you have ample time to get your medical between your invite and the actual interview date?
