AOS Interview (Marriage based)

[xXJulzXx 0]

I apologize if I posted this in the wrong area. Feel free to move to where I would obtain a better answer (If not in this Forum)

Okay me and my husband recently got our interview notice about our up coming AOS interview and I was looking over the list of things that it tells us to bring and I am a little confused with a couple of them.

"Documentation establishing eligibility for lawful permanent residency"

and

"Original plus copy of each supporting document that was submitted with application"

The first one, I don't get what kind of documentation that they are talking about as it doesn't give examples on the letter.

The second one confuses me because does that mean for each supporting document that was submitted with the application, do we have to bring the original and a copy to the interview? OR if we submitted a copy with the application, does that mean to bring the original to the interview? or vice versa. Or what?

Please help ease the confusion so me and my husband can better prepare for our upcoming interview.

Any/All responses are welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks

Would live to help, but I'm not getting eyestrain over that lavender script. Can you just ask in black default type?

Lol... I apologize. I've always used that kind of font and color in the past and has never seemed to be a problem but here is the re-post in default:

since you are adjusting status from a k-1 visa, I believe you will need to bring your passport with your k-1 visa and you marriage certificate - that makes you eligible for applying for a green card. someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't see what else you would have to bring to prove you are eligible to apply.

as for the second thing they're asking, they want you to bring original and copies. so both.

If you look at the instructions for the form I-486 http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-485instr.pdf , it starts off with all kinds of people who can adjust status-- refugees, Cubans, fiancées. Each has a little different thing to prove they were eligible. So the letter you got is very generic to cover them all in one sentence.

So 3A is fiancé and says you had to be admitted on a K1 visa and marry within 90 days.

So you can show admission with your I-94 and passport with visa and show you married within 90 days with your marriage certificate. Well you've already submitted that stuff with the application so it's redundant to ask for it again. But it's a generic letter.

The other question is saying bring originals of whatever was sent with your application so they can look at the real thing. So yes the original marriage certificate, etc. If they already have a photocopy in the file, why bring another? But if you bring something new to the table like signing a lease together, then bring the original and a copy so they add the copy to the file. That's similar to the interview in London where you brought copies so they could return your originals.

I don't know your whole version of the letter, but they often say "Bring this list unless already submitted". You've probably already submitted all that is needed, except for maybe some new things that shows you have added joint things or photos you didn't submit before. The generic letter you get is usually overkill so don't panic over every word like it was personally written to you.

Re: Purple script. I use an IPad and it is very tiny. Plus I've got old eyes. It's pretty, but a strain to read.

Ahh, Okay. Thanks for clearing that up. Section 10.B. Shows evidence of eligibility for a K1 applicant

Okay, I thought it might have been something along those lines but I wanted to make sure because obviously this is an important thing and even though they probably don't ask to look at every single piece of evidence, I want to be sure I have everything that it says to bring just in case.

Yes, for a few of the things it does say to bring it unless it was already submitted with the application like the medical examination form and affidavit of support with required evidence. Some of the newer things such as evidence of joint bank acc etc. we are going to make sure to bring. I know that it was a generic letter so I wasn't necessarily panicking about it, I was just unsure about what they meant about those two particular statements but thanks for clearing those up for me. I appreciate it

Hmm.. that never came to mind (being on a tablet device such as an IPad) so I can see now how it would be difficult to see/read

Thanks for all help though
