Original Certificate - Combo Interview

[anitka 29]

Hi guys,

 

My interview is scheduled for this Tuesday.

However, I cannot locate my original marriage certificate.

I was sure I had it organized in my prepared file, but I only have the original copy that is not a legal document.

We got married in Las Vegas in 2021.

I do have the copy in polish of my name change and everything else, as well as the printed copy of the original document.

 

I am so upset with myself, I have no idea what happened to the original document?!

 

Will that mean an automatic RFE?

Not necessarily an automatic RFE.  Order a certificate online on Monday, and if asked for at the interview, and an RFE is issued, you should be able to respond to it relatively quickly.

 

Good Luck!

Only if asked.

Yeah officer,

I discovered few days ago that it was missing and I couldn't locate it anywhere, So I ordered a new one online.

This is the receipt.

Sometimes they might not even asked for it.

But always have the copy with you in case of

Thank you both!

 

I am super organized and I have no idea what happened.

I took it out to take a picture of it for n-400 when uploading online and was sure that I put it away 🙄

I agree.

 

To the OP, yes still take the copy to the interview even if you don’t have the certified copy.

Hi guys!

just wanted to update you  

 

I had my combo interview, at first the officer asked if we have any more proof like insurance or anything else apart from what we brought (we had joint account, deed, car insurance) so I was taken by surprise.

she said she “might give us RFE before even starting the interview process.

Anyway, I said to myself - it is what it is, stayed calm and answered all the questions.

 

I think she warmed up to us during the process, the test was good, answered 6 questions correctly.

 

when I was leaving she said to upload the vision and dental insurance so she can review it before decision.

 

i did that first thing after coming back and a few hours later the I751 was approved and the N400 awaiting the oath being scheduled.

YAY!

 

She never asked me about any original copies.

 

My only worry is that she stated I can travel for work tomorrow, but she I checked the online approval letter for i751, it says not to leave the country?

 

any advise? 
thank you all again ! 

[Dashinka 26,466]

Thanks for the update, and congratulations! 

 

As to travel, you are fine with your extension letter and expired GC.  The ROC NOA has that boilerplate verbiage, but in the end, you are still an LPR (at least until your oath ceremony), and you have valid proof of that.  That being said, I would take a copy of your ROC NOA with you just in case, and also keep a record of the time you are out of the country as they (USCIS reps) should ask you about any international trips between your N400 interview and the oath ceremony when you check in for the ceremony.

 

Good Luck!

Big Congratulations 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 👏 👏 👏 

After my approval, I tried to avoid any unessential travel out of the country.

I waited patiently until my oath ceremony, just to avoid filling the question relates to international travel after the interview.

But you are free whatever you wanna do 👍
