I just turned all this stuff in: are you serious??!

[saritamackita 0]

So we have the interview scheduled next month and there is this huge long list of things to bring that we already turned in Like all the tax stuff, the I-864, travel documents, birth certificate, etc. etc. etc. Why are they doing this???? Is it really necessary to turn this stuff in again when they already have it? It's really embarassing to have to ask my dad AGAIN to sign the affidavit of support. Really would rather not go there. help!

Did you keep a copy? You should read the interview notice more carefully, I think it says bring things that have not already been turned in.

You really should have a copy of everything you send to USCIS just in case. You shouldn't need to bring anything that you've already submitted. HOWEVER, they might have lost any number of things from your file, so I always think better safe then sorry to save yourself trouble during the interview.

As stated it says "unless already submitted" on the interview forms. You are supposed to keep a copy of everything you submitted for the reasons stated, that USCIS is KNOWN to lose stuff and this way you're covered if they do. Plus, it's to know for sure that you've submitted stuff when they try and tell you you didn't.

The affidaivt of support that is submitted now is different than the document submitted for a K visa. This is a legal binding contract that both you and any cosponsor will have with the US government. You can ask another person to be a cosponsor. There is no need for the same person to be the sponsor.

Yes, you will need to submit many similar items at the Adjustment of Status stage. Failure to do so may result is delays.
