Befuddling AOS Interview Terminology

[blooberry 3]

Hi all,

I received notice of my AOS interview on January 17th. My biometrics appointment is on February 23.

My AOS interview is on March 20th. I am excited, but too nervous to get *really* excited yet!

I have reviewed the "list of items to bring" to my AOS interview, and I am puzzled. Among the many documents listed, the letter includes a bullet-point which says:

-Provide all documentation establishing your eligibility for Lawful Permanent Resident Status.

What does that mean?

Earlier in the letter it mentions Passports, Birth Certificates, EADs, APs, Marriage Certificate, and "supporting evidence of your relationship" -- all as individual bullet-points in the list of items to bring.

So, is "Eligibility for Lawful Permanent Resident Status" something separate entirely? What am I forgetting?

Thank you for the clarification! I am grateful that so many VJ'ers are helpful and supportive.

Sincerely,

Lisa (and Brian)

An addendum --

I just realized that another VJ couple (slaughterj) recently posed the EXACT SAME QUESTION. We must have been writing our posts at a similar time! Oooops. :-)

Please use that thread if it is more convenient. My apologies!

Sincerely,

LOL, too funny!

Hey guys! Funny coincidence!

Basically, to prove your eligibility for Permanent Residency you need to bring documents that prove you are entitled to receive the benefits you seek. In your case, since you are adjusting as the spouse of a USC, you would need to show that you are married to a USC (marriage certificate), that your spouse is a USC (spouse's birth certificate), and that you are adjusting from an acceptable and legal status (I-94 and visa). For someone who adjusts through marriage, all of this is, of course, included in the bullet-point list, so you don't need to worry about anything extra!

I think this is basically your AOS application plus originals of the supporting documents.

Lisa,

You are eligible for status as an LPR because you have married a US citizen after entering the USA using a K1 visa.
