Marriage based AOS interview checklist help! Initial forms needed?

[Pickle_slushy 4]

My wife and I are going through marriage based Adjustment Of Status currently. She came here on a tourist visa and we got married eventually, then filed a I-130, I-485, I-131, & I-765 concurrently. 

 

Our interview is scheduled for February 2nd so I'm trying to make sure I know everything we need to bring to the interview. I have a pretty good idea, but I'm not sure if we need to bring the original forms we filed such as copies of the initial I-485 and I-130? And what about all the supporting evidence and documents we had to submit with I-864 affidavit of support and I-944 public charge (paystubs, tax returns, 12 months of asset/account statements, credit reports, and much more) That seems like an unnecessary amount to bring with considering they already received it all, right?

 

Any advice is appreciated! 

 

Thanks

I would bring a copy of the entire package you submitted.  Apart from that, you can bring any additional supporting evidence you may have gathered since you submitted your package.

 

Good Luck!

I brought our original forms, but they didn't look at them or ask about them. I think it's good to bring though JUST IN CASE...you never know and it's always better to be over-prepared than under. Bring everything: forms, supporting documents, originals of birth certificate etc, photo album, pay stubs, etc. It may SEEM unnecessary but it's really not. You have no idea what they might ask you about or ask to see or ask to double-check or cross-reference. You don't know what may have gone missing during handling, shipping, etc. You don't know what the interviewer may be unclear about. You also don't want to risk any further delay for any reason whatsoever.

Can't remember the exact date we mailed it, but it was early September. I do know they received it on September 15, 2020. 5 months total from submission to the interviewwas actually quite shockingly short to me. We were assigned to the National Benefits Center

It's only valid for 2 years from date signed by doctor. So if your interview is a few days from the 2 years, I'll suggest go to your doctor, sweet talk him and get the updated form for cheap.

We're definitely not close to that. Medical was done in September of 2020
