The only required evidence to submit with I485 for K1s is the MC as not many documents can be obtained within 90 days. 

Other evidences can be submitted at the interview if asked but usually they don't. 

Marriage evidence is submitted later with I751.

You right, didnt think of that

I don't think you have to worry. It really might be a mistake. When you call USCIS make sure to get a Tier 2 on the phone cause the ones who answer the calls won't know more than you.

In case they really perform a Stokes for whatever reasons don't get offended by some of the questions they might ask. Stay calm and answer as good as you can.

How do you get through to tier 2? When I phone I find it hard to even get past the automated thing no matter what I say they just keep asking me for my receipt number to give me my case status and when I do that they just ask if I have anymore receipt numbers to ask for more case statuses. 

 

Also does anyone know if after the stokes interview if I can travel abroad while awaiting the results? I'm guessing the advice is no but I recently received my AP and have been waiting a long time to finally travel home.

I am just surprised they tell you that upfront... In theory you could rehearse a lot of things...

Say “info pass”

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it. If your relationship is genuine, then that will reflect when you're answering. I also don't think it's neccessary to swot up on stuff, like it's a school test - because you don't have to know EVERYTHING about one another. They're not going to worry if you don't know what city your husband was born in...but they probably would be concerned if you didn't know what job your husband does or where you live together, etc. But that should all be stuff you know anyway. 

 

One of my friends (back in the UK) married a woman from China - and one of the questions she was asked in her interview was 'what football team does he support?'. She responded 'Manchester United'...and her husband was later on like 'I don't support ANY football team... why did you say that?'...his wife thought that she had to give 'an answer' and the correct answer (that he doesn't watch football) would be wrong somehow. So yeah, don't do that! It's ok to not know the answer or say you've never discussed it or whatever! Just be yourself and be honest.

Hi all just an update that the interview went ok, it seems to have been requested because I did my biometrics twice and this was flagged. They did not do a full stokes interview on the day just clarified I had no criminal record.

Thanks for the update, but that makes no sense......I hope you get good news soon.

So, you weren't separated at all? 

[joy717 4]

We were not separated. He said when we came in that we were flagged because of the fingerprints and also he said something about our file being small - it seemed to be that whoever organised the file did not print off any supporting documents because he said they were scanned in but not in the physical file? Anyway it was not a proper stokes interview. He said we have to do a new medical even though I provided him the vax sheet from my k1 medical. The guy who checked us in at the front was a trainee so maybe there are some new staff there?
