DV2008--AOS only

I have a question from thoes peoplew who have done their interview.
In the back of the interview appointment letter, they've asked me to bring certified court documentson the day of interview. I was wondering where do we get that certification?????....... also, they've asked me to bring affidative of support...I was wondering even though I'm over 21 do I need that form?
thanks

hasn't changed... last updated date is the day of biometrics.

EAD showed up yesterday. 9 days from the first "card production ordered" email -- got two of those and an "approval notice sent."

just hoping for an easy approval at interview.... don't want to have to keep nagging them about name check like some of our compatriots here have.
 
I was wondering if there is anybody who's done the interview could answer questions....(I asked this question a couple of days ago...but I didn't get any respond back.)

If you have been arrested, then you need to get court records that show what the result of your case was. If you have not been arrested then there is no court documentation to obtain.

You will need an affidavit of support if you can't convince the officer that you can keep yourself out of poverty based on your own income and assets. If you can obtain one you might as well have it with you in case he asks for it.
 
Had an infopass appointment and i found out that my background check has cleared. it is so hard to get information from USCIS. I had to explain, and explain and explain before the young lady finally pulled up my info on her computer. Actually the first guy i talked to told me that there was absolutely no way that they could know if my FBI backgound check had cleared. i think he was just one of those customer service folks who sometimes don't know more than we do about the immigration process.
anyway, i guess i'll be waiting for the interview letter. i was told interviews are scheduled in Missouri.
 
So for a final clarification from DV 2008 successful folks:
I have been on H1 for 2 years, job pays well above poverty guidline requirements and I have no dependents. Do I still need to produce an 'Affidavit of Support' - form i-864? Is that a determination that I make or do they ask for it in the interview letter? Can I just count on my employment letter and tax infomation?

Employment letter and tax information more than enough for DV AOS cases.

I've had the same appointment letter 3 months ago. I've got "no record" letter from my local police but officer didn't ask for it during interview. If you have the same letter from your home country police (and countries where you lived for 6+ months since age 16) it would be more than enough. If not - not a problem as well. DV AOS cases usually not require Affidavit of Support if one have a job.

Overall: I guess USCIS not quite often deal with DV AOS cases, that's why they use some strange template for interview appointment letter (probably for family based AOS). So don't worry - if you namecheck is cleared you almost for sure have your greencard already. DV AOS interview are pretty simple, they just need to make sure it's you who filled out forms, so they just go through all personal information (ask you what is your name, date of birth and all other staff from I-485 form). Basically that's it.
 
Thanks MikeM.
Do you know how I can figure out my namecheck has been cleared?
Thanks.
