Looks good. Good luck.

Do not bring copies of Drivers license and passports - take the originals with you. Also, you must bring your greencard with you, you seem to have left that out of your list as well as the appointment letter. My wife was a=only asked for the copies of the tax returns and nothing else - but she took a few originals with her in case she was asked, your list is good but you must take the originals with you. By the way, the interviewer made copies and returned the tax returns to my wife, even though my wife told her to to keep them since we had copies at home. Good Luck

Gosh that's tough - sorry to hear that - I'd better look for some other stuff from 2006 and make sure to bring it with me...

I hope they make a decision on your case soon!!

Just wondering, if you have a child together (who will be at the interview with his birth certificate in hand), does that reduce the need for some of these documents at the interview?

leases and utility bills are evidence of residence and marital union.

Tax returns are called out as a separate item on the checklist. Showing that you pay your taxes goes to proof of good moral character and marital union/residence.
