Fantastic, congratulations!
You came prepared and didn't have an issue. You know the Murphy's Law... If you didn't bring it USCIS would have asked for originals 😅

I did take them this morning but they didn't even need to look at them this time. I have passed the interview and Oath ceremony has been scheduled. 🙂

Agree with this. They might want to see the originals to confirm that it's real, but can keep the copies if they need them.

Officer may need to see originals. Taking originals and copies is a good strategy, so you can hold onto originals and allow IO to keep copies.

After a lot of thought and consideration, I have reached the difficult decision that the time has come for me to step down as a moderator for Visa Journey. I have therefore asked Captain Ewok to return my status to 'regular member' effective Saturday, September 6th.
I have been a moderator on Visa Journey now since 2009 – 5 years – and these last few years as Lead Moderator. I have enjoyed the responsibility and the involvement, and I believe - I hope - that I have made a positive contribution to the site. I have appreciated the opportunity to give back to the VJ community in this important way for its help on my own now long-completed Visa Journey, and thank Captain Ewok for entrusting me with this great responsibility.
I am pleased to announce that Penguin_ie will assume the responsibilities as the new Lead Moderator. She is already an experienced and well-respected Global Moderator for Visa Journey, and I know she will be an excellent Lead Moderator. She has my utmost respect and complete confidence, and I am reassured knowing that I leave this post in such good hands.
I wanted to thank each and every one of you for all of your support and assistance to me and to the Moderation Team over these last years. You are all part of why Visa Journey is such a valuable resource and instrumental in the successful completion of so many of our own individual Visa Journeys. While I won't be a member of the Moderation Team any longer, I will still be a member of Visa Journey, and you will continue to see me participating in the forums and contributing to the site - just now it will be from the other side of the Report Button .
We have a great Moderation Team in place and I am definitely going to miss being a part of that team. It has been my pleasure to work with each and every one of them, and I will continue to do what I can to support them in their hard - and often thankless - jobs. I know how hard they work and how conscientiously they each take their responsibilities, so I offer to them as well, my gratitude and my appreciation for their hard work, their support and their friendship. You are the greatest!
So, see you all around the forums !
