Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / September 2005

Hey Everyone,

Having been so careful over the years, I never thought I'd be sending a
message like this but here goes:

A couple weeks ago I received a letter from USCIS that my application to
remove the conditions on my PR had been approved. There were
instructions to  make an infopass appointment and go I guess to the INS
office which for me would be in Detroit.

The problem is that I kept that letter "really safe" and I cannot find
it anywhere now. Here are my questions:

1. Do I need it? Is the letter something I need to take to the interview
  with me? I know more docs is better than less, but should I cancel my
  appointment until I can find the letter?

2. Do I just need to take my conditional GC and ID, or do I need my
  passport and the rest of the supporting docs we previously
  submitted as well?

3. When I made my infopass appointment, the option that looked like the
  right one was labelled  "You have received an approval letter or Form
  I-797 from the Service Center or local office instructing you to come
  into the office for alien identification card processing / passport
  stamp." Now this option seems more like two processes ago from where
  I should be now...was that the right option to select? Will I be
  turned away if this is the wrong thing?

4. My passport expired in a few weeks. My embassy will not renew
  it until it's expired for real. I don't foresee needing to
  travel anywhere, so that's not a huge problem for me...but will
  it be for INS?

I'd appreciate any input y'all can give on these concerns. Thanks for
all your help over the years...yes, you too Ian.

Thanks

Dean.
