Interview on Thursday; am I good to go?

[Veronik 19]

Hello everyone!

Well, this week is THE week for us, we have our green card interview on Thursday! Like everyone going through this stressful step, I'd like to have your feedback on what I'm bringing. Any encouragement and pep talk also welcome!

We have the following as evidence of marriage:

- 2010 Tax transcript (filed married jointly)

- Letter from State Farm stating I am the main beneficiary of his 401K

- Statements from our joint account (we opened it in November, so 4 months of statements)

- Our dog's vet records, which shows both our name and adress and me under 'spouse'

- Flight information for our upcoming trip to Qc with the whole family (we're having a reception there)

- A scrapbook with 25 pictures and explanations (pictures from the time we started dating until now)

I have also done another support form, since we were able to file our taxes and get a transcript in time, but I don't know if I'll need this since we've already submitted that.

Alright, well this is it, wish me luck!!!

Eventually most people (see exception below) will receive a letter from the CIS informing you of your interview date. It will include instructions on what to bring to the interview and any required items you may need to complete before hand. One of the most critical items requested will be "evidence of the relationship" which proves that your marriage is true and faithful (i.e. photos, joint checking account, joint lease, joint mortgage, and birth certificates of children if any, etc.). Also, it is important to bring the current passport of the beneficiary to the interview. The interview is fairly painless and may be video recorded and lasts between 15-30 minutes. If approved you will be mailed your "green-card" shortly after the interview date (weeks).

Thank you! I was aware of that, just wondering if I was forgetting anything before it's too late.

Good Luck on Thursday! I'll be thinking of you :-) Be sure to let me know how you make out.
