I just received my interview date for October 8th.

 

I’d really appreciate any advice or tips from those who have been through this process, especially regarding the documents I should bring to the interview?

 

It was based on K1, I didn't submit I693 with AOS package and was expecting RFE for it, I had the original one from my home country submitted at point of entry but it was missing vaccines, and I submitted new IN state vaccines record with AOS package, do I still need to bring a new I693 vaccines part sealed to the interview done with USCIS surgeon? or since they didn't do RFE it's not required.

 

 

Thanks

Congrats!! Here's the detail of our interview experience... As far as the missing vaccines you had from the overseas medical, Jaycel was missing the Polio Vaccine. We went and got it here at a CVS and then we went to a civil surgeon to have them complete the vaccine assessment part of of the I-693 and brought the sealed report to the interview because we did not want to get an RFE at the interview. (That happened to a friend of hers at her interview in the Philadelphia FO). Documents - Bring the "Originals" (Certified True Copies) of any civil document submitted in your application and photocopies of those as well, bring the passport you entered the country with (with the K-1 visa inside), any new ID that you have (State Driver Licence / ID Card), EAD Card & SS Card if you have them. US Citizen Spouse should bring ID and proof of citizenship, Cert. True Copy of Birth Certificate and/or Passport and photocopies of those. Any NEW evidence of marital bona fides accumulated since you filed your AOS. I would also scan all that evidence into a PDF and upload it into your online account under "Unsolicited Evidence" in the documents tab 3-5 days before the interview. We did that and our officer was very appreciative and told us it allowed her to review our case before she called us in and enabled her to approve us that same day. Make sure you still bring the paper copies with you to the interview in case they can't bring up your upload for some reason. We also brought copies of the forms we made when we filed just in case and we brought a photo album we created that was a timeline of our relationship. We put it together in a Word document, pasting the photos in and typing a description under each. We had about 20 pages with 3-4 photos each page. We uploaded that document as part of our "Unsolicited Evidence" upload a few days before the interview as well.
