Do I need the original NOA2 at the embassy interview?
They don't mention it but I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere in the forum that it's needed
Any thoughts?

Yeah u need it!!!!! =)

The guides say you need it, but I've seen no accounts of people being asked for it, and I do not see it listed as a requirement on any piece of information from the USCIS, Department of State, or the consulate.

I don't think it's needed.

Perhaps someone who's been through the interview can share their experience on this.

It's not required by the London Consulate.

Certainly didn't take mine to London, and nothing in the instructions or checklist said it was required.

I gave Claudeth a copy. Make sure you keep it in a safe place, you will need it for AOS and if you need to replace it the cost is high, like a couple of hundred or more.

Thanks
