AOS Interview - What To Bring

[ghz 0]

Hi,

I received a notice for an AOS interview. It lists a bunch of things that I need to bring with me, but I'm a little confused. For example, it asks that I show proof of my citizenship. I have my birth certificate; is that enough? It seems a little redundant because it asks for the same things more than once. I'm also required to bring proof of my wife's eligibility for AOS; would our marriage certificate be adequate? Finally, the notice says that I need originals and copies of all supporting documents... exactly what is this referring to? I submitted everything to them... do I just bring copies (and copies of what exactly... each form I submitted + evidence)?

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Bring anything and everything you can to prove that you have a bonafide marriage. When I had my interview I brought, joint car insurance, house insurance, emails, pictures, marriage certificate, husbands divorce decree, birth certificates. The INS officer will have your file there, I brought an extra copy along incase they lost it along with all my originals. Dress professionally, and arrive early and everything should be fine.

Passport and/or birth certificate is adequate proof of citizenship.

• Pictures are nice but hold very little value in determining Validity of relationship.

  Remeber bring more thank you think you will need, it is better to have too much than to forget something and be delayed or denied for be under prepared.

Should we bring our son?

Absolutly & bring his Birth Cert.

Having a child between the two of you shows definate validity to the relationship & Marriage, Just be sure he is well behaved

As lissa mentions bring copies of everything you submitted with you roriginal package, The USCIS has been known to misplace things.

Our IO asked me for my tax return & current pay stub even though I had submitted them with my AOS package.

So it helped to have it ready when he asked made his job easier and the interview went smooth we were well prepared. put everything togther neatly in abinder so you can easily access it .

You dont' want to come accross as unorganized or unprepared, after all this is the most important step in your live together respect it as such.

Arrive at least 15-30minutes early.
