Wedding photos!  Our interviewing officer wanted to see those.

 

And, a copy of the most recent I-94.  My husband had been to Canada twice since POE, but we didn't think to print out the I-94.  They accepted his passport instead.

 

They also wanted info on his employment, including address/phone numbers.  We brought some financial info, such as our joint bank account statements and the paperwork for a truck we purchased together.  We printed out beneficiary statements for assets, like retirement accounts.  We also brought joint household bills, such as utilities.

 

I owned my house prior to our marriage, so we didn't have any lease/joint mortgage info at that time.  Still considering what to do about that for ROC, which we can start in November.

Interview (in person) for Adjustment of Status

Eventually most people (see exception below) will receive a letter from the CIS informing you of your interview date. It will include instructions on what to bring to the interview and any required items you may need to complete before hand. One of the most critical items requested will be "evidence of the relationship" which proves that your marriage is true and faithful (i.e. photos, joint checking account, joint lease, joint mortgage, and birth certificates of children if any, etc.). Also, it is important to bring the current passport of the beneficiary to the interview. The interview is fairly painless and may be video recorded and lasts between 15-30 minutes

Washington state, much like the 49 other states, requires the execution of a deed in order to change ownership on any piece of property. This includes both land and homes. If you need to simply add another vested owner to your property, you will need to file a quitclaim deed, rather than a warranty deed.

 

Quick claim deed was easy here in TN and fee was only $18  (i am sure higher now)
