This is a good list, and we brought a lot of the same information to our interview.  The one additional item we brought was a copy of our K1 package as well (I didn't see that on your list).  The IO did not look at much of what we brought other than the photo album, a birth certificate from my adult step-son, and our updated taxes since our interview occurred after we filed our updated taxes.  Most of the information on your list will be very relevant for the ROC (I am assuming this interview  will be for a two year GC), so make sure you save it for that filing.

 

Good Luck!

At every stage of the process, we made at least one copy of all the forms and evidence submitted.  When the AOS interview came up, we took a copy of the K1 package we had submitted with us.  When we had the ROC/N400 combo interview we took a copy of the K1, AOS and ROC packages we submitted.  As to the medical sealed package, that should be sent to your local office from the point of entry.

ROC is Removal or Conditions which you will file in 2 years after getting your 2 year Green Card.  N400 is naturalization, if you decide to pursue that route.
