I just received my yellow letter only listed state driver's license as the needed document for interview. I know there is sticky post listed out all the materials you need to prepare for the interview, is it really necessary if they only asked for driver's license in the letter? Has anyone been asked to provide additional documents not listed on the yellow letter?
 
... is it really necessary if they only asked for driver's license in the letter?
First, let me say I have not gone through the interview yet, so I'm only speaking from reading other people's experiences here. I've noticed that the vast majority of the time, people bring extra documentation that is not asked for. But ask yourself:
- Is it "really necessary" to study the 100 civics questions? No, but you probably do anyway.
- You've spent a lot of time and money to come this far, why not be a little over-prepared?

Most of the documentation given in that sticky thread is not hard or expensive to obtain. For example, 3 year of IRS transcripts can be had for free via the IRS website. If you have a marriage license, passport, kids' birth certificates, etc, why not bring them?
Another example, I paid $8 to my state to get a copy of my driving record showing no outstanding convictions or serious tickets.
However, that sticky thread makes it sound very serious that you "MUST NEED" to bring this or that and people treat it as gospel. In my opinion that's going a little too far.

Bring what you can reasonably obtain in the time you have before the interview. Semper Paratus! And study those 100 questions. :)
 
Has anyone been asked to provide additional documents not listed on the yellow letter?

Yes. They will always ask for your green card. And depending on the circumstances, you may be asked for your passport, marriage certificate or divorce decree, children's birth certificates, tax transcripts, court documents for arrests and convictions, proof of paying child support, etc.
