You don't need to fill out another I-864. I brought the latest tax year documents with me and my interviewer never asked to see them, but I would assume its all dependent on your specific case and the interviewer you get. I would bring updated information just in case they want to see more proof that your sponsor is financially able to support you. So latest tax returns with W2s or 1099s, as well as pay stubs etc.

 

If you already submitted a letter of employment from your sponsor, and the latest tax returns and pay stubs both show that they are still working at the same job I doubt you'd need another letter of employment. I would think that if circumstances changed with your sponsor's job, you'd need to bring one to show that they are employed. I never submitted a letter of employment and didn't bring one to the interview either, and the interviewer never asked.

 

You should bring all the documents you submitted with your case. When I submitted my package I made 2 copies of each form and filled each out by hand, so for the I-864 I had 2 copies and sent one with the package. I brought the other with me to the interview. The interviewer never asked for it, but I was paranoid because it seemed like I needed to take it with me. I don't think you need to as the interviewer already has your forms neatly set out in a folder.

 

At the interview regarding evidence, they mainly asked for more photos, recent bank statements with both your names on them, any other things you share with your spouse like insurance etc. But that was specific for my case, so I would suggest bringing any updated supporting evidence for the I-864 (if employment circumstances have changed) as well as the most recent tax returns and related documents just in case.

 

Regarding the medical exam, I'm not sure sorry. I had mine done fairly close to the interview and brought it with me.

 

Hope this helps

Thank you so much! This really helps.

The whole process has made me realize I am much less organized than I wish...

Filed for marriage based AOS in June 2017, interview scheduled for 02/13 in Manhattan.

I also would like to get some suggestions from those who've gone through the interview process:

1) On the notice that we got from USCIS, we are asked to bring in several items that we already submitted in our original application package.

For example, the notice asks for "A completed Affidavit(s) of Support (Form I-864) with all required evidence, including the following, for each of your sponsors (unless already submitted)......"

We are planning to bring any new documents that we have got from the time of application up to now, for example, pay stubs, letters of employment, our latest tax returns, latest tax returns from our sponsor. Should we fill out the I-864s and bring all the documents we've already given them one more time? 

2) I got the medical exam done in May 2017, which was less than two years ago. It seems that the law has changed regarding the exam and now it remains valid for two years.

I just want to make sure that is the case and I do not have to pay for the exam to be done again?

Thank you so much for your kind help.

For folks who are waiting, I hope you get the notice soon!
