Here are my anwsers and details.
Q. Did you receive just one interview letter on case transfer for you and your spouse or two separate interview letters addressed to you and your spouse?
A. Yes, we received seperate letters (with a time difference of half hour between the interviews)
Q. Also what documents you carried with you for the interview? Please provide the check list that can be beneficial to all those who are appearing for interview.
A. Here is the list of documents we carried.
I divided the documents into two lists A and B ( and took two copies of each)
A List (needed as per interview letter and 485 proof)
(Originals)
1. Passport (for both of us)
2. I-94 (for both of us)
3. EAD & AP(for both of us)
4. Two photographs each
5. Interview Letters
6. Current Employment Letter
7. Copy of Employment Letter provided to inform INS of job change (AC21)
8. 6 Months Paystubs
9. W2 for 3 years
10.Tax Returns for 3 years
11. Bank Statements for 6 months
12.Birth Certificate
13. Marraige Certificate
14. I 134 (Completed)
15. Birth Certificate (Spouse)
16. Employment Letter (Spouse)
17: Bank Statements for 6 months
B List (maybe needed)
1. All INS Notifications (H1/FP Notices)
2. Pay Stubs for the entire duration of the 485 process
3. Experience Letters
4. Education Certificates
5. Property Documents.
The Officer asked for the following documents.
1,2,3,5,6,8 (Latest paystub), 13 & 16
Q. Do you feel appearing for the interview with out your lawyer has any negative effect? Please post your experience.
A. I do not think that taking the lawyer helps in any way directly, other than increase your confidence.
Infact, the interview process was very pleasant, the Officer was courteous and professional. He asked for the above listed documents and the standard questions (arrest, deport etc). And sent us packing.
Unless the case is complex (out of status, no pay stubs, no employment letter), I do not see the need to bring along a lawyer.
