My interview is on july 17th. I'm so happy I posted this on an old thread I had, but hopefully people will reply to this if it's on it's on thread...I hope you don't mind. I have a few questions:
1) In the list of things I need to bring, it tells me to bring the I-485 (if not already submitted), which we had sent already so we wouldn't have to bring it (I'll bring the copies anyway, but you know what I mean). The confusing part is that in the checklist under the I-485 it says to bring the tax info of the past 3 years from my sponsor. We only submitted the tax info for one year, as we understood that that was the requirement and the additional 2 years were optional.
Does this mean that I should come up with the tax info from the previous 2 years and bring it, is that what they're asking me for? Or is it that they haven't updated the 3-1 year requirement thing for that notice of action? (if I'm not mistaken, the requirement was 3 years before, then changed to 1 year, 3 years optional?) I would assume that since I wasn't RFEd on my original I-485 for more tax info, I don't have to come up with anything extra. But do I?
2) I was wondering if you could post (or link me to) your interview experience. I am very nervous and would like to know what to expect. I am terrified of doing something wrong or forgetting to bring something.
3) This is not really a question, but more like a vent. I tried to get a joint account at a bank (or actually, have my name put in my husband's accounts) and I was treated horribly. The attendants treated me like I had just jumped over the border and like they could call immigration on me to take me away right there or something. I explained to them I had all my paperwork in order, still they were very ignorant and unprofessional, and said that "if they put my name on the account, it would red-flag homeland security and his account would be under investigation". What?! We need a joint account in order to better manage finances, and we'd also like to have one to support our case by the time we go to the interview. We will try and hope we have better luck with a different bank. Have you had any experiences like this? What should I do to make my experience better when we go to another bank?
