We just got our Interview Notice letter yesterday, and it says that the USC needs to bring their original birth certificate and proof of citizenship. The birth certificate is no issue, we have that already. With the AOS application packet, we included a photocopy of the USC passport, so are they going to want to see the original at the interview? We wanted to mail it in to get the name changed, due to our marriage, and we were planning on travelling a few weeks after the interview, so not enough time to expedite it. Is it sufficient to take photocopies of the passport to the interview, and explain that we had to mail it in to get a new one and we haven't received the new one back yet?

I would bring other forms of ID like gov issued drivers license and social security card. Since not all USC even have a passport, they should accept other forms of ID. Just make sure you have the originals!
