Any tip for I-485 interview based on NIW?

I have a long pending I485 case. Here are the dates:

I140 approval 06/23/98 based on NIW.
Waited for over a year before filing I485 due to INS backlog
I485 RD 08/02/99 at Nebraska Center
I485 ND 09/09/99 from Nebraska Center
FP June 2000 in Chicago.

In Feb 2001, Nebraska decided to transfer my I-485
to local INS office in Chicago. However, I was
no longer in Chicago. So in August 2001, the I485
was transferred again to INS San Francisco which
has jurisdiction over my current residency area.

My I485 has been in INS San Francisco for
6 months. My FP has expired. Last Friday,
I got a notice from INS San Francisco for
interview in three weeks.

To help me prepare for the I485 interview, does
anyone know what kind of interview questions
they will ask at INS San Francisco? What kind
of documents they want? Are any of the following
"a must": my tax return for recent years, my
pay stubs, no-criminal record? I am not sure
what are the materials I must present at interview?
and what materials are optional?

I hope someone who has gone through the interview
process at INS San Francisco for the NIW case will
give me some input.

Thanks for your help!

Since your case is a NIW case...

You need to carry all your supporting documents to warrant this. I am sure you already have everything that would grant you GC in the NIW, but that\'s about it I can think of. Maybe someone else who had the same experience should enhance this.
 
Take everything you can

Make sure you sort them in a nice way so you won\'t get confused later. That was as I have in interview experiences posted here, most of them are just formality; they want to make sure everything is really the way they are in documents.

Good luck and let us know about your interview experience.
 
No Title

I guess you changed your job during the process. Are you still working in the same field? Thanks. I am in similar situation.
