AOS documents are needed at the interview or not?

Is the passport ready for pick-up yet or do you have to wait until next week?

  To my knowledge they didn't ask for any financial documents but I'll ask my husband to be sure.  We had this whole issue with our 2020 tax return not being processed and not having the transcript and we thought they would make an issue of it, but they didn't.  We had called the IRS so many times, and wrote congressman and representatives.  We filed our 2021 taxes and got our transcript within days and he brought that and an updated I-864 EZ but I don't think they even asked for it.

seems the CO looks to see the immigrant is prepared with documents and they know he has them

if he did not bring  them in,  he would ask for them and u'd be in AP

Please take all the documents with you: everything you submitted to NVC: Civil documents, AoS package and all supporting documents you uploaded. JUST IN CASE

Rather be ready for everything, even for remote possibilities

Good luck to you all

 

Should the petitioner mail the original W2, Signed I-864, and certified divorce, certified naturalization to Morocco? since for the transcripts, they can print the pdf..

Exactly.  I mailed all of that.  Of course they didn't ask for anything, but like JeanneAdil says if you don't have it they will ask for it.

I think so too!  He had this nice 2 inch binder and he set it down on the counter when he got to the interview window.  He never even opened it

Thanks @sarabou17.  I have bad experiences with sending mail to Morocco. Customs/Post office sit on it for a long time before they deliver it. Did you use any of the shipping services?

Welcome!  Regular post is too slow, and like you said things can get stuck in customs.  We decided to use DHL.  They picked up the shipment on Thursday and it was delivered to my husband on Monday.  And they have really good tracking so you know exactly what is going on.

The passport was ready pretty fast, like 5 days!  Other people have waited longer I think.  They gave him a two week window, so it might be best to plan for 2 weeks and be suprised!

Wow that's crazy!  I would prefer to go in person, but I hate saying goodbye again!
