Hello everyone. Interview date is tomorrow at 9:45 here in San Diego California. Just a couple real quick questions. On the I797C form it states in part of the checklist to bring original and copy of your each supporting document that you submitted with your application. Otherwise they keep the originals for record. My question is don't they already have copies of all of these that where sent with the package? Does that mean they want another copy on top of the one they already have? Kinda confusing. Also there isn't a lot of things I could put my wife on without a SSN like the apartment, bank account, etc. She just has a credit card at the moment until this process is through so what else could I bring? Maybe mail with her name on it to this address? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

We just brought a duplicate AOS packet of what we submitted. Even though we submitted copies of my birth certificate, marriage certificate, husband's naturalization certificate, the IO also asked to see the originals (he just glanced at it in the clearbook I brought) He asked to see both of our passports too. He even questioned why I submitted the I-693 since I already undergone a medical exam in my home country, I just said I followed instructions about the vaccination record not completed. He gave us the impression we didn't need the I-693 (good thing we only paid $15 for the transcription!). He said since we were just newlyweds, its understandable we didn't have enough documents together yet given at the time of the interview

He also made copies of my husband's driver's license & my CA ID since it shows we live at the same address. Other than that, we only had a fax letter from my husband's insurance company showing we were on the same plan. We live with his mother so we couldn't show any lease/mortgages; their family also has a cellphone plan under his mother's name so we couldn't show that either.

Don't forget to bring photos too, especially of the wedding. The IO kept 3 photos of what I brought. The only thing I remember him asking was how we met & scribbled the stuff we said on our file.

Good luck!
