Interview in a week. Any tips, suggestions?

[gogogo786 38]

Hello all,

 

My N-400 interview is next Monday July 1st. Filed under the 3-year rule being married to a USC while my 751 is pending. I'm assuming and preparing for it as a combo interview, although haven't received any notice or letter specifically mentioning it will be a combo interview.

 

I filed the N-400 online, so all the documents were electronically submitted. I'll be taking hard copies of the important documents for sure like my expired green card, wife's birth certificate, my passports, interview letter etc. Should I print out everything and take hard copies of other documents as well like all the tax transcripts, joint bank accounts etc?

 

Any other useful info?

 

TIA.

You're right assuming it might be a combo interview. Make sure your US citizen spouse comes with you.

 

You should definitely print tax return transcripts and have them with you. You may want to bring all other evidence to be absolutely bullet proof. It's hard to predict what would happen on the day. People report bringing all the evidence and not being asked for any. People also bring bare minimum and get asked to produce evidence on the spot. It all depends on your comfort level. I personally don't mind spending extra to print docs and bring them to the interview. Others may think it's unnecessary or wasteful.

I agree with the idea that it makes sense to be over-prepared.

Just a got a call from the field office, not sure if it was actually the IO. They called to let me know I need to bring my spouse with me since there is a pending 751. Hopefully my 751 is transferred by the interview time and hopefully I can get a decision same day.

Nice, good luck!
