New job after sending in application? What to bring for interview?

[Ilikehippos 0]

Hi everyone!

So our interview is coming up next month (Dec 3rd) in Holtsville, NY and I'm really nervous and have a few questions

My husband (USC) was unemployed when we filed the AOS package and his dad was our sponsor, now my husband just got employed so do we need to change our papers? Should we bring updated ones to the interview? He still doesn't make enough to sponsor me alone though. As for the sponsor is it necessary to get his pay stubs and current employment letters? We already sent in three years of past tax returns..

Also I just recently noticed on the interview notice it says passport AND birthcertificate required for USC, did you all bring both? My husband can't find his, and we have ordered a new one but we are afraid it won't come in time.

If you anyone also had experience being interviewed at Holtsville, NY location please share your experience!

Thank you very much!!

As long as your father-in-law made enough to co-sponsor you, don't worry about filling out any new affidavit of support. Bring your father-in-law's most recent pay stub. Also, do bring your husband's job contract/employment letter and his most recent paycheck. This is a bonus, and adds to the impression that there will be no public charge concerns.

I have never heard of a birth certificate being mandatory. The birth certificate is used to prove citizenship, something that a US passport or naturalization certificate will do just fine.

Lycka til!

I remember that our interview letter asked of passport and Birth certificate, we had to get a new copy of my wives from Michigan, but in the end they only looked at the passports.

I think you will need a copy of one or both for your joint sponsor as well, I remember something about someone being asked to prove joint sponsor was a citizen as well.

Co-sponsor has to be a citizen or permanent resident, domiciled in the US.

Yes and if I recall you need to prove it at the interview so thats why a copy of a passport or birth certificate of sponsor is required.

I (the USC) brought BOTH my passport and birth certificate. The interviewer didn't ask for either, just an ID, so I gave her my drivers license.

To be safe, I would suggest bringing an ID (ID Card or DL) AND/or a passport and birth certificate. If your USC has neither they can get a passport rushed.
