What should I take to interview?

[Miranda&James 8]

I have my interview next week. I filed based on 5 year residency. Do I need to take any supporting evidence such as tax returns, marriage certificate etc? I know that's not supposed to be required for 5 year but wondering if they might still ask for it?

Thanks!

If you got your green card based on marriage to a USC then take supporting evidence with you just in case.

It's usually not asked for, but it does come up from time to time.

You won't have to prove that you are currently in a legitimate relationship (that is irrelevant), but you may be asked to demonstrate that you got your green card legitimately.

If you got your green card some other way, then you won't need to prove any of that, but you should always take important documents like birth and marriage certificates with you (plus copies).

_{You just never know -- in our case, the only documents asked for were green card, drivers license, passport, and completely put of the blue, Social Security card, which we happened to have along with everything else.}

_{It always surprises me when folks think it is a burden to put together a package of documents to take with you -- there is no downside to having everything handy, and huge upside if you get an IO who likes to delve into things.}

How was your interview experience?

The interview was in San Antonio -- we were there early and it seemed that folks were called based on when they signed in rather than the time in the letter. There were no surprises, and the entire interview was about 15 minutes.
