I think I-134 instructions tell what you need, probably the person's tax returns, etc. If anybody else who went through the interview chips in, I'd appreciate. Especially with a spouse.

If you are instructed to have an affidavit of support, these are the documents that you need to obtain from your sponsor:
1. copy of us passport of green card
2. Letter from their employer, stating their ful job position title, yearly salary, etc.
3. Last three W2s
4. Pay stubs for the past 5 months
The Affidavit of support forms (both 134 and 864) have more accurate instructions. follow those.
Good luck,

Well, that is the whole point of obtaining an affidavit of support. The idea is that if you ever happen to become a public charge (god forbid) this person is going to fully support you (shelter, food, etc.) So, there should be a strong bound and trust between these parties.

I am not 100% sure of this. But I was told that when you file a request for EAD/Advance parole in conjunction to I-485 application, these are processed separately by different entities. What I can tell for sure is that generally it takes 2-3 months for you to receive your EAD/Advance parole card.
Good luck,
Good luck,
I didn't get a sponsor when I filed my application. On the other hand, just about the only documentation that the visa officer asked me was proof of employment and pay stubs.
I got both my EAD/Advance parole card the same day as I got my green card. I keep it as a curiosity.

2-3 months is the length of the all AOS procedure I think I take less time for DV. I read here, it is usually a good month after the biometrics.
I am anxiously waiting for my EAD, I'll have an interview for a new job very soon.
Thanks for the information.
I didn't get a sponsor when I filed my application, but I sent proof of employment, tax returns and pay stubs with I-485.
It looks like preparation of these original documentations is good for interview.
I'm looking forward to hear from other people who finished interview to share their experiences.
Thanks!
I think I am in the similar situation with you.
I don't have particular sponsor with me, but I included employment letter, pay stubs and bank statement with I-485.
I dont have my interview yet, but I am planning to bring employment letter, recent pay stubs, bank statement with me.
by the way, please add/renew your info in the spread sheet for others. Thanks

post interview
Hi everyone,
First off, lemme commend the guys who run this site. You all are a godsend for those of us taking on the daunting task of AoS. I was selected for 2013, and sent in my $330 payment to KCC, however, the receipt I got was stamped with no signature..everything else went off without a hitch. I submitted my packet to Chicago and was being processed at Hialeah field office. Got my work permit, and just went to interview 2/28. The officer basically ran off the questions on the form, and left the room for a couple minutes. Afterwards she said everything checks out and there's nothing more for me to do. She said they needed documentation from DOS and they would summit the request for visa. However when I politely asked if it was approved, she said "not as yet, we just need to get the paperwork first". Any idea what it's about? Has anyone else gone through this? Any info would help. Thanks guys!

CP vs AOS
Case # DV2013AS000056**
AOS
Case Current: April 2013
Status: DV fee receipt collected, Waiting for MArch 31st to file I-485
Some of my friends back home (case # 65**, current in April) are doing Consular Processing and their interview is already scheduled for April 1. While it looks like my interview will be in June looking at the trend and if everything goes OK.
Looks like Consular processing is lot quicker than AOS. Will it be OK from visa number availability standpoint? I just want to make sure there is enough visa available for AOS as CP interview with higher case # are being scheduled quicker. OR Changing to CP from AOS is recommended at this point?

Thanks for the info. It looks like for high case numbers, processing time is shorter. I just can't understand if FBI check is performed before issuing advance parole or not. I am afraid FBI process will take forever ...
I see (unregistered) and Kazore have interview dates on the same day in NY, you guys may bump into each other 
Good Luck!!
We are waiting for the interview letter, normal time to receive the letter is like two weeks right from the day we do biometrics? Waiting is hard!

It is weird though that io mentioned some paperwork, at that point everything should be set as far as dos is concerned. I thought they request the visa number at the interview, not after, and you leave the place knowing that you are done. Are they running out of numbers??

Address in I-485 Form
Hello guys, hope everyone is doing great.
I'm preparing my AOS packet as i will be current in April and have some concerns regarding the address field in I-485. Thing is, i'm planning to move out of my current residence in next month or so. That's the reason why, i don't want to put my current address in I-485 but instead i'm planning to put my employer's address in there so that i dont lose any communication\letters from USCIS. Can we do something like this? Will it delay processing ?
FYI, My employer is also located in the same city as mine.
Thanks you guys. Your suggestions would be much appreciated.
