Hi, I had my AOS interview yesterday April 16th. The IO went over all the questions on the i-485 application and that alone took a long time. Afterwards he asked some questions about our relationship, nothing too personal, just how met, where and when, our engagement, family, my husband's previous marriage, etc. When it came to the evidence, he only asked for photos and insurance. We did have plenty of photos (places we traveled to, with family, wedding reception, etc), joint bank account statement, credit cards, taxes statement we filed jointly, a lease for a place we rented together for a while but not insurance since we just don't have insurance at the moment for several reasons. Anyway, he didn't ask for anything else but photos and health insurance. Even though I provided him with all the other paperwork previously mentioned, I forgot to give him our tax return as evidence. I genuinely just forgot that one thing plus he didn't ask for it or anything else for that matter besides the photos and insurance we didn't have. What are your suggestions? I think our taxes return is good evidence for our case and would be worth the shot to mail it as it was something I meant to submit as evidence in the interview. He did ask if we didn't have insurance because of me not having a SSN till recently which is partly true but the main reason why is because we couldn't afford it before and we have been looking for more affordable plans plus we did go to the doctor and dentist plenty of times without insurance and we never had any issues so we never felt pressured to get it. Besides that, the interview went OK.

I would wait and see if you get a RFE for it (or anything else).  It's possible you won't get one, either, like you said the interview went well.

 

Sending documents beforehand can run the risk of whatever you send not being joined up with your file.

You can't just mail in stuff.

If you receive an RFE send in ONLY what they were asking.

 

Sometimes less is better, that was the IO said when I asked her if she wants more stuff cuz I had a whole bunch of supporting document.

 

Btw I don't think tax return is a good evidence. Photos are better because it shows that at least you were together on different occasions/places. 

 

Very surprised they asked for insurance. It didnt come up at our interview. (We have separate insurances so we didn't provide that)

 

I think you are fine with the photos, travel, joined credit card, lease etc

If nothing was requested,  send nothing 

YMMV
