What document to bring

[AntiqueApple 0]

Hi All. Can anyone share your N400 interview experience at the Federal building in NYC?

I have my interview scheduled in a few weeks.

After reading some past posts, I was surprised to find many people were asked for the documents at the interview. (Bank statements, Tax, Pictures...etc )

I certainly would like to know whether it's necessary to bring all documents. And If so, what documents should I bring with me?

Thanks!

I think it is better to bring them just in case they ask for it. When I had my interview I also prepared some documents like pictures, bank statements, and utility bills with your name on it. They just wanna make sure that both of you are living in the same place. Sometime they won't ask for the documents but it is better to be prepared than to go back again for another interview.

Normally do they send you a list of documents to bring for the interview?

Yeah, there were a few documents listed on the interview letter.

But I was just wondering because some posts suggested to bring all documents which were already submitted and additional pictures and bank statement...etc.

I think I will bring my documents just in case.

Thanks,

Better to be over-prepared than to run the risk the officer asks for something you don't have... Below is a brief description of the documentation that was requested during my interview at Federal Plaza.

"Uham, my only other tip is that if you are applying after three years based on marriage to a US citizen, to bring evidence that you have lived with your spouse for each of the past three years. I had brought some original documents, including tax returns for three years and maintenance bills (but only one from last year and one from this year) but I felt a bit underprepared. Had I known that the officer would ask for this stuff I probably would have brought two documents (say a joint bank account statement and a maintenance bill) for 2008, 2009, 2010 and very recently."

I'd also bring something to read (and perhaps a snack). Others have had different experiences but I had to wait 3.5 hours.

Are you applying with the 3 year married to USC status? I have no idea why would they want the BC of spouse.
