Certified copy of marriage document and other documents (interview)

[Singerbrook 2]

We have our interview this week, and they want us to bring a certified copy of our marriage document. If I make a photocopy and bring those two along with me, will they keep the original? Should I bring two original ones? 

 

Also, the list also asks for "all documents establishing your eligibility for Lawful Permanent Resident status." What would those be???

 

 

Thank you so much for your time!!

Bring original and a copy.

 

"All documents establishing your eligibility for Lawful Permanent Resident status" probably means anything else you can think of that hasn't already been listed. Proof of bonafide relationship etc, there are many more things one can bring and use as proof of eligibility than the few things they have listed in that letter.

Unfortunately, what you mention is mentioned later on. I think what it means is what was my status when I originally immigrated, which was F-1 student visa. So I made copies of my VISA's and my I20 documents, but I can't think of anything else.

This is marriage-based green card, adjustment of status from F1 Student Visa

Well, the visa only shows you entered and were in the country legally as a student. What makes you eligible for LPR status is your marriage to a USC. But the whole package you sent and all docs you bring to the interview are going to determine if you're eligible or not, so I don't think that sentence is about one or two specific documents.

You are right, I don't assume it's about one or two documents, what I mean is I think it's about all the proof that shows the marriage is bona fide. Would you agree?

Yes that's what I wrote in my first post, "probably means anything else you can think of that hasn't already been listed. Proof of bonafide relationship etc, there are many more things one can bring and use as proof of eligibility than the few things they have listed in that letter.". 

 

Either way, I think you will be prefectly fine if you bring whatever else that's asked for on the list, very few people seem to "fail" their AOS interviews and we all get that same letter. So don't think more about that sentence, you just bring what you have and you'll pass with flying colors. 

 

I have my interview on July 18, I'm so excited. And good luck btw, I hope you get a nice and friendly officer.

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement! I'll bring everything I can think of that proves our marriage true! 

 

Good luck with yours also, mine is Thursday and I'll update you with news !
