I had this as well; however you need the receipt number on the biometrics notice to actually track your case online. In my case they sent this number to me along with the response:

So I had to do this in order to get an update on the status of my case. As you know, the receipt number on the I-797 is useless for that.

Yes, I mean when they are doing the background checks and other stuff before you get interviewed.

For the list of stuff I brought, I basically followed what was on the letter, and also brought several pieces of additional "evidence of marriage" such as photos, bank statements, investment accounts, tax transcripts, etc. We even brought pay stubs but I think those were unnecessary unless you need to prove that you are above the income limits. One thing that you'll need that was not part of the I-485 application are your USC spouse's birth certificate and ID. They made a copy of my wife's driver's license but didn't bother with the huge pile of other stuff that we had.

I posted my review although it is similar to skul teacher's experience.

Really just a formality for us. I guess it depends on what they think of your marriage the first time they review it in the central office.

Woot, interview success! They split us up, but barely asked us any questions other than what was already on the forms we filled out. Didn't ask to see any of the documents we brought, either, other than to make a copy of my wife's ID, and approved on the spot. Welcome letter is supposed to arrive in 5-10 days!

I have my interview on May 29th. Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of things that we should bring for AOS? The I-797 just has a really general list of items that I'm not sure apply to everyone.

For example, if we've already submitted the I-864, and we don't have any sponsors other than ourselves, will we still need letters from our employers and pay stubs? etc...

Any chance you could come up with a checklist for what you brought to the interview? Is it the same thing as what you listed above?

I'm just asking because the interview checklist that is mailed seems pretty general, and is asking for some things that don't seem necessary. For example, if you already submitted an I-864, do you still need to include letters from each current employer verifying current rate of pay, pay stubs, etc?

EAD arrived! woo hoo!

Just got my EAD mailed notification today...now to prep the docs for the interview!

Woot, just got the card production ordered e-mail today! Just in time for a summer job

Looks like you posted this in the March 2011 thread instead of 2012?

Seems like I got my notice for interview via mail. Still no update on the USCIS website.

It's been over a week since my biometrics and still no update on anything on USCIS website (all dates still same as right before NOA.) Should I be worried? I really need the appointment date because I have to adjust my travel schedule for it.

you had your original appointment for 04/10 and on your attempt to walk in early you got rescheduled for 04/11, 1 day later than your initial appointment? was that your wish or did they punish you for walking in?

I had something at the scheduled time on 4/10 that I preferred not to miss, and that was my "excuse" for walking in. However, they said I couldn't walk in, but I could just reschedule for later in the week, so I said okay. The guy at the office just crossed out the time on my ASC letter and wrote the new one. It seems that the field offices have full control over the scheduling as they can accommodate you whenever they want (even the mail-in rescheduling form goes to the field office.)

Finally got my biometrics taken today, USCIS Boston would not let me walk in when I tried right after receiving the appointment letter. Hope this EAD goes off soon!

Just wanted to add myself to the list, filed for AOS beginning of march.

To the person above me: you can go to the ASC early and they will just take it?

Thanks, I totally forgot about that online system even though I had used it for an I-765 before.

I used this list to help build my application as well. I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131, the whole shebang. I noticed you guys seem to include a lot of extra copies that are not required to be attached to certain forms but I tried to follow the instructions and not just throw documents into the envelope.

Now I will update my signature just like everyone else
