Hi,

Can someone please share a list of documents they require at the AOS interview? I realize not everyone's case is the same but anything helps.

Our interview is in a month an i am starting to collect documents.

Thank you for your help!

There have been many that have asked this question. The short answer is anything that shows a bone fide marriage. This could include joint bank accounts, insurance documents (home, health, auto) showing both parties, life insurance beneficiary documents showing the spouse as the beneficiary, mortgage, rental, loan agreements with both parties, utility bills with both names, updated tax forms (if you filed 2014 taxes after submitting your initial AOS package), photos from wedding as well as photos with family, cards received addressed to both. I would also bring a complete copy of your AOS package just in case something is missing in the file. One last thing, if the spouse now has a state driver's license or ID, bring that as well.

Most IOs will not look at everything, but it is good to have it on hand. Then tuck it away in a file and add additional proof for the ROC stage.

Good Luck!

Thank you very much, I have many of those things which is good.

Did you have to bring any financial proof to the interview? For example that you still have a job and/or your income or anything like that.

Strongly consider creating wills, medical powers of attorney, and similar documents. These make excellent evidence (for AOS and ROC, too) and are even more valuable to have in "life."

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I did take proof of employment information with us as well, but it was never requested. Also, TBone makes a good point, wills are a great idea.

Good Luck!
