I read a story on a (very unofficial) website that someone was advised by a friend to bring their (US citizen's) credit report to their interview, because the USCIS checks the credit of the US citizen while reviewing the I-864. I have never ever seen that mentioned on here (nor on any other immigration-related message board), so I doubt that it is a necessary document to bring, considering that the interview letters don't seem to mention it either... right? I can't really see why the USCIS would even check credit at all, they seem more concerned with tax returns and current/future income.

What do you guys think? Has anyone ever heard about a credit check?

Never heard of such a thing - you can't always believe 'unofficial' stories - all they do is create worry. So, don't worry. :thumbs:

No credit check is mentioned on the notice of AOS interview. Financial documents requested are tax transcripts/tax form copies and W2, copies of pay stubs from past two months and a letter from your employer with salary, house etc.

The USCIS primarily uses your I-864 to make sure you earn enough money to support yourself and your spouse and has poverty guidelines for that. Cerdit checks? Never heard of it yet.

Anyone else? :help:

I highly doubt this......if so, Andre probably would've never gotten his visa.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Thanks guys! One less thing to worry about gathering for an interview. I have great credit, but I have a hard time actually GETTING my credit report from the top three, so I'm glad I don't have to bring it. I even had a hard time when I called to make sure my new married name was associated with my credit history!
