AOS Interview Documents

I have my AOS Interview scheduled for next week.
I received a letter stating that I should bring a copy of my birth certificate with a valid English translation, everything else was in the application.

I called the USCIS and asked if I should bring anything else, such as pictures, bank statements etc, but they said NO, bring only what is stated in the letter.
I am wondering where everyone got the message that a ton of supporting documents had to be shown for the interview. I will bring supporting documents, but my question is: Is there anyone who did not bring anything else but what is required and stated, i.e. taxreturns, marriage certificate, and passports. Everything else such as photos is not required.

I'm curious to see what they say if one would not bring anything in addition to what they state.
Thanks
 
I wouldn't risk if if I were you. It's always better to have too many supporting documents than not have enough. If the officer is not satisfied, he's just gonna send you back home and ask you to send more documents or even ask you to wait for a second interview. Just bring everything you can think about that proves a real marriage.
 
What else to bring?

That is my intention..to bring alot of documents.

I have common health insurance in both names, car insurance in both names, apartment leases in both names for two different apartments. We have one common tax return (we got married last year). Quite a few pictures, but I realized that we don't have any with other family members in them, will this be a problem?
We recently added my wife to my bank account, but don't have any documentation of this yet.
We have lived together for 3 years and of course the marriage is real, I just want to be sure that the officer believes this.
Any advice of what else to bring?

As per the interview notice...

You must bring the following items with you:
Supporting evidence of your relationship, such as copies of any documentation regarding joint assets or liabilities you and your spouse may have together. This may include: tax returns, bank statements, insurance documents (car, life, health), property documents (car, house etc.), rental agreements, utility bills, credit cards, contracts, leases, photos, correspondences and/or any other documents you feel may substantiate your relationship.

It cant get any clearer than this.... :rolleyes:
 
Thanks....you are absolutely right, it can't get any clearer than that.
I guess I didn't read the fine print - now it's just a matter of going through the list.
 
I brought so many documents and had so many yellow mailing envelopes that the security guy thought I was a Lawyer hahahaha :D . Even though, I didn't have everythign the interviwer asked for. So if I were you I'll bring even my moms birth certificate ;)

First: I didn't go for a GC interview, I got my GC in an immigration court :p

Second: My dog is a (four legged) born American. ;)

Third: How do you know my dog? Have you meet?...you both sneaky devils
:D :D :D

I'm confused: Did my dog escaped jumping over the fence...or you jumped over the fence to my dog :confused: :D

Ha ha, I'll bring everything I've got. I just thought that if I would bring so much stuff, maybe the officer would think that I had something to hide.

Any insiders on what documents or what kind of information that I should bring that I can't think of.
I can't believe I don't have any pictures of myself and my in-laws, even though I've seen them quite a few times.
I don't have a ring either...does anyone think that might be a problem?
Lease agreements from 4 years back and some utility bills, car insurance, health insurance, and commonly filed taxes for this year hopefully will work.

Any advice is highly appreciated!!!

Read the interview experiences thread which will give you an idea of the effort folks here took to prepare for the interview.
 
Different State Drivers Licenses

Thanks a lot everyone.
I've read and read about everyones experience. 99% happy and positive results, probably because everyone who is taking the time to visit and post to this form is really well prepared.
My major concern is that my wife and I moved to a new state 3 months ago, and my wife has not applied for her new Drivers License yet (she is quite slow when it comes to these things). I wonder if that will be a major problem. We have plenty of evidence that we live together in the new state...any thoughts.

Regarding the rings, my husband and I don't have them either, but we had a good explanation just in case. At the end we weren't asked but make sure you can explain why not in case the examiner is too picky. Good luck
