How much evidence for AOS interview?
We have: (apart from birth/marriage certificates. Passport & EAD)
Wedding pictures & a few of us together/ us with my family.
Joint bank accounts/ letter from bank.
He's on my work health insurance and NYS retirement plan as beneficiary.
I'm beneficiary on his IRA's.
Updated notorised I-864, 3 years joint tax returns,W2's & IRS printouts.
Both our employer letters.
Copy of my vaccination record (they already have my full medical).
Copies of absolutely everything inc. some of the photo's.
I have wedding/ anniversary, birthday cards, and a ton of Christmas cards from our families over the years.
The house is under his name, utilities too, though I sign the cheques. So I'll take a random selection of joint bank statements w/cancelled cheques?
Anything extra you can think of?
Getting a new (used) car on the 8th which will be in both our names, too late for the interview I know.
I'm more excited now about having my own car than the prospect of (possibly) getting my passport stamped. Only hope I'm here to drive it and I'm not being shipped back to the UK :scared:

Re: How much evidence for AOS interview?
I had my AOS interview yesterday at Baltimore and I'd done as much photocopying and preparation as you appear to have done - all I ended up handing over was one copy of our joint checking account statement, one copy of our, (my) credit card statement and one copy of our joint car insurance - this seemed to suffice and I got my I-551 stamp there and then!
I think you might well be ok!!
Good luck with your interview, I hope it all goes well.
Best wishes

don't forget to take your receipt for the biometrics. NYC asked us for it at our interview.

My only difference is that I've been unemployed for a little over a month but I was able to get a joint sponsor and have that ready to go if they give me a problem about not working right now.
We went ahead and got a new medical exam as my ex-employer's insurance covered most of the cost and I wanted to be safe rather than sorry.
Well, I guess I'll stop procrastinating, pull out my paperwork and double and triple-check everything. Then I'll go to the USCIS website and figure out which train to take and which entrance to go to so we don't end up on the line for people without appointments. Tonight, I'll review basic questions about each other's lives, family, friends, address, phone number, etc...
Can't wait to go do it, hopefully get a stamp in my wife's passport and not worry about anything for 1 year and 9 months when we apply to remove conditions.

Hey there, so you ready for tomorrow morning? I think my wife and I are ready. I have just about the same amount of evidence you have which is basically as many "official" documents as I could find with both of our names on them.

I will check, re-check everything tonight too, though to be honest I'm sick of the sight of the pile of stuff we've got. I'm too burned out with it all to be nervous at the moment. Glad you got a co-sponsor just in case plus the medical, I didn't bother with medical - we'll see what happens with that. My husband has a brain like a sieve, he can't remember anything - he better bloody remember tomorrow!
We wish you both "Very Good Luck" for tomorrow, in case we don't work out who each other is in the waiting room.

P.S. No, I'm not nervous about interview- YET!
I have been more nervous about going back to work today (had a week off) as I was going to be working with lots of new kids & staff, (I'm a teacher aide - started working summer school today)
but thankfully that went OK.
