I met with my attorney on Monday to prepare for the interview, and she said to bring in all originals (of everything we submitted), and everything extra (that happened after we filed). Also, because we filed before tax time, we need to bring my husband's 2013 W2, tax filing, last paystub, and a new letter from his employer showing he's stilled employed and his current salary.

Arghhh now that I read the requirements again and realized they also asked for my hubby's birth certificate IN ADDITION TO his passport (evidence of US Citizenship). My hubby was born in the US but he misplaced his birth certificate and now it'll take forever to order it.

Macruff, you'll also need to bring your spouse's paystubs in the last 2 months!

not all Americans have passports. But all should have birth certificates. I really do not think a passport is a criteria.

We used his passport to prove his USC when we filed the paperwork because we couldn't find his birth certificate. And we thought the passport would suffice for the interview (to show his USC), but apparently they also ask for birth certificate. I've just ordered it and am praying that it won't take too long to process.

oh okay. My wife does not have a passport (yet). We used her BC. Mine is by 10:15 am. Just printed out all our bank account(s) statements, her paystub from the military and asked her commander to draft us a letter of good standing. I will also be printing out my paystubs just in case.

As I mentioned before, my spouse is US military and is currently deployed. Our request for an expedite through the local congressman based on the fact that he is deployed has been approved! :dance:

Excited and nervous. Thank you for all your help.

Oh and I don't have my husband's original BC or naturalization Cert (I only have copies) because he has it with him! :hehe: Lawyer says it should be fine.

Ladyliberty, that's some crazy GOOD news!!!!!! Congratuations on getting expedited! I'm happy for you!

I was excited when I first got my date but the closer it gets the more nervous I am!!! Especially I heard stories that Immigrant Officers give inter-racial couples harder times (like separated interviews and tricky questions). I am Asian and my husband is white ;(
