AOS Adjustment of status Interview - need original or copies of docs?

[MasterNateDawg 1]

Hi, can you tell me if for the AOS interview they will accept copies of documents like my birth certificate? (I'm the petitioner)

What exactly should we both bring to the interview. We already send the i864 with the package so we don't need to bring and financial or tax income info, right?

Thanks

You send photo copies to USCIS, and bring the originals to the interview just in case they want to compare the originals to the copies you sent in with the AOS application.

Is this a requirement or a suggestion to bring the originals. I need to know for sure before I go spend a whole day trying to get my original BC at the office.

Certified/official copy. Most places aren't going to give you the original BC, they hold onto it for record keeping purposes.

Well is that going to be a problem because I don't have my certified copy, only a photocopy of it front and back, and the interview date is in 5 days and it takes weeks to get a certified copy....

If the IO is not satisfied with the copy, you might get an RFE.

Do you wanna take the risk?

If you have a passport, take it with you to the interview. It is another proof that you are a USC.

They say they want originals (certified copy), but it depends on if they ask for it. Our AOS interview last week was simple. They did ask to see both of our passports, and I had mine with me. The IO never asked for my birth cert. (note that a photo copy of it was already included in the I130 package so they already had it).

Nice, I figure if I bring my passport and photocopy of BC it definitely proves my citizenship.

For evidence of relationship, we have a lease signed by both of us, many pictures, a statement from friends witnessing our marriage and the legitimacy of it, and that's it.

Should we be OK with this stuff? We don't have anything else to prove our marriage.

You should be ok with your evidence. If you have electricity bills, copies of bank statements or any other documents that are in both of your names, it might be wise to bring those with you. As mentioned before, bring your passports.
