Hello all,

Finally after more than 2 years since the start of the process we have an interview date on may 23rd. I was wondering if I was missing anything to bring to the interview. Here are the thing I was gonna bring

I-130 papers

Interview invitation printout

Evidence (photos and tickets and all that)

Marriage certificate

Birth certificate for both of us

Passport

Medical report (examination is on the 19th and we get the report on may 20)

Anything official or non official papers we have we are gonna bring with us

Police clearance report

Am I missing anything? If so, I would greatly appreciate a reminder.

Thank you

You should have gotten an email from the embassy specifying exactly what you need to bring. But your list looks good. :) Just make sure the police clearance is valid for at least three months after the interview.
