Yesssss!!! I received my interview letter for 3/19/2010. The list of docs they asked is long. I already submitted my translated birth certificate, why did they ask for that again? the original is not translated tho. There is a lot of stuff i don't have. Should i be worried?
Thank you for all who has congratulated me. I just received the e-mail about Card Production Order!!!
Congratulations, that's great. Your card is on the way.
Congrats. Don't worry, they ask for them anyway, so make sure you have everything. What have they asked that you don't have?

My interview appointment letter only required the passports, birth certificates, evidence of admission into the USA (I-94s), evidence that my wife and I live together in a husband/wife relationship. It also states that I must provide a copy of any original document I wish returned.
In an attachment it also required that we need to bring valid unexpired passports, all original documents issued by the Service, and evidence that we live in their jurisdiction.
Even though most of those documents were submitted with my AOS package, I prepared more copies and the Officer did require them. My advice is bring all that you can to the interview and show it only if the Officer asks for them.
Best of luck!

Congratulations i2009 and crucian. It is great news that they took your I-94 cards. That is a very positive sign that they have decided to send you the GCs. Just relax now and let the system work. Oh ... do keep praying. May God guide us all. Amen.

I am not exactly sure on this one ... but i think the first one implies the issuing of the welcome letter and the second one is for the GC!

Hopefully the Infopass would bring the attention of the IO to check your KCC file and approve you. Hope you hear something good soon. You are signed up for updates from the USCIS website, correct? If so, you could expect CPO anytime soon. All the best.

Hi Jasmine182,
My suggestion would be to rearrange the docs such that the on top of your coverletter is your personal check along with the 2 photos (for form I-485) and then all the forms: I-485, G-325A, I-693, I-765 and I-131. This should be followed by all the supporting documents (Proof of being a winner in DV, paying the DV fees, birth certificate, passport copies, proof of valid status while in US (I-20, I-94, official transcripts from university, letter of enrollment and good current standing), Educational degrees, and Evidence of Financial support.
One observation i did make is that with your I-765 papers you need to attach some more items. Please check the requirements. Make sure everything is there with this form. I did not check the requirements for I-131 but looks like you have put some other stuff with it, which is probably what is needed too. Hopefully someone else can also give some input on this. You can read the instructions to be extra careful that everything is complete the way it should be.
Make sure that the coverletter says you are filing I-485 concurrently with I-765 and I-131. Also put very clearly in the cover letter all the enclosures. All the best.
