AOS Interview

[kristinanddan09 1]

Hi Everyone ! We're off to the Detroit offices in September for daniels aos interview. We just got the letter today and most of the items are easy enough to bring.

1. Interview notice and Gov't issued photo identification (I take this to be his passport)

2. A completed medical examination(Form I-693) and vaccination supplement in a sealed envelope unless already submitted (for the AOS packet we sent off, we put in his DS 3025 copy, is this alright to bring again? He got all his shots in the UK. Or do I have to bring something else?)

3. a completed Affidavit of Support I-864 with all evidence from sponsor, this is what I sent off for his AOS packet, I'm just making more copies and bring them in.

4. All documentation establishing your eligibility for Lawful Permanent Resident Status (say what? do I bring in all his approvals for the I-129F and his approval for his interview?)

5. Any immigration documentation issued to him, including EAD and AP (he didn't get either of these yet, so if he gets them beforehand, we'll bring them to the interview)

6. All travel documents used to enter the US (passport, and his I-94) which is still in his passport

7. His birth certificate

8. Petitioners birth certificate, and evident of US citizenship (is my drivers license okay to bring as well? or do they want something else?)

9. No children so this doesn't apply

10. If your eligibility is based on marriage, spouse has to come (of course), certified copy of marriage document, my birth certificate and evident of citizenship (same as above?)

11. support evidence of relationship, we have no joint assets or anything, the bank I use here in our city wouldn't allow me to add him to my account because he didn't have a SSN. We went to the SS office 3 times, and was told each time by different people that he couldn't get one because of changes after 9/11. He doesn't have a bank account then, and so he hasn't gotten a drivers license either because of this. I have photos of us after he's gotten here, a trip to chicago together, and cards sent to use for our wedding date. would that be enough?

12. Original and copy of each support document that you submitted with your application (I just have to find these on the computer)

13. He hasn't been arrested here, so he has his police report from the UK that we're bringing.

*sigh* was really hoping we could avoid an interview, but would you say I have pretty much everything alright? Or do I need a letter from my SS office and bank stating why he couldn't get a SSN (so they said) and therefore couldn't get a bank account??

You're going to be fine! You just have to tell them you are not allowed to add him to your bank account since he doesn't have a Social Security!

Good luck and thanks for sharing the list of documents requested by them!

Don't worry about having an interview! You'll do great. Plus, if no interview, you might wait almost a year before approval. Be happy! Good luck!

Just bring a complete copy of what you sent in, and bring the originals of the important documents like birth certificates and certified marriage certificate. Explain about not getting the EAD before your interview, so he has no SSN and could not be added to your accounts. Bring in any mail that is addressed to both of you at the same address. That could help show you live together, since he doesn't have a drivers license or state ID yet, also due to lack of an SSN. Bring photos of your wedding and trip you took together. Bring other evidence of the trip you took together like tickets/itinerary in both your names. They understand you are newly married and won't have much evidence to show. Bring anything you can think of that shows you live together and your lives co-mingle.

It is good you got an interview. Those waiting at CSC to be approved without interview are waiting 8+ months lately.

Hi !

I have a question since we should receive our interview notice soon.

We had to ask my husbands aunt to be our joint sponsor. I didn't make any copy of the whole files, does that matter? Assuming they have everything do we need to re do the whole affidavit of support AGAIN??? Because it took her a month or so to assemble the package. I never thought they'd ask for it again????

I only have copies of the rest of the AOS package. I'm slightly stressed out, because if we have to reask for the joint sponsors evidence it will take again a month...

I was in the exact same boat as you guys. My husband didn't have ssn nor did we have a joint account. We had the interview last Friday and they didn't ask for anything just our documentation and pictures. Just explain your reason if your asked too. I'm sure you'll do fine good luck !

[kristinanddan09 1]

I'll explain everything once we have our interview !!!! I'm getting everything sorted out right now for it though.

In the interview letter, it asks to bring the affidavit of support and docs, unless already submitted. Do not worry, even if that would have still been good to have a copies of those docs again, just in case.
