Hi everyone!
Finally i have a date for my green card interview-July 22nd.
USCIS sent me an appointment letter with a checklist of things i need to
bring. I have few questions about it.
Here's what letter says:
You must bring with you:
1)This interview notice and your Government issued photo id(i guess i
could bring my state ID)
2) A completed medical examination (I-693) and vaccination supplement in
a sealed envelope, unless already submitted. (Since i already submitted
it with my application for adjustment of status i believe i dont need it
again, right?)
3)A completed affidavit of support with all required evidence, including
federal income tax returns, letters from employer etc.( i also
submitted it with my application for adjustment of status i dont need
it either, correct?)
4) All documentation establishing your eligibility for Lawful Permanent
resident status( I DONT KNOW HERE WHAT IT MEANS, WHAT KIND OF
DOCUMENTS I MUST PRESENT?)
5) Any immigration related documentation ever issued to you, including
EAD and Advance Parole( DO I HAVE TO BRING ALSO COPIES OF ALL MY
IMMIGRATION RELATED APPLICATIONS AND USCIS LETTERS AND
CORRESPONDENCE?)
6) Original and copy of of each supporting document that you submitted
with your application( LIKE WHAT DOCUMENTS THEY NEED HERE? WHAT APPLICATION-
ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS ONE?)

Hope u can help me figure out what i need to bring with me.
Thanks

Your spouse must also bring a government-issued photo ID -- drivers
license, passport, etc.

Right.

Correct, UNLESS your circumstances have changed (ie, you no longer meet
the minimum income requirements and have a co-sponsor, etc).

Your passport which includes your visa, etc., should suffice.

Did you get a visa? If so, bring it. Did you get an EAD card? If so,
bring it. Did you get AP? If so, bring that, too.

Yes, your adjustment of status application. Do just as they instruct:
Bring an original and a copy of each supporting documentation you
submitted when you filed for AOS. Joint bank statements, joint insurance
policies, joint tax returns, photos of the two of you together, etc.
What you bring depends on what you initially sent in with your
application.

Forgot to ask, after i applied for AOS i found a job and i am working
as a nurse. Do I have to bring letters and paychecks or only my
spouse/sponsor have? Is MY OWN income relevant?
Also, we dont have any wedding pictures, since we didnt have a
ceremony, just went to a courthouse. Hopefully they wont make any
problems about that:)

Hi AW,

Congratulations on the interview date! Sometimes the officer does ask
to see the immigrant's employment information, but if you don't have it,
it shouldn't be a problem either.

We also did not have any wedding pictures, and it wasn't a problem. In
fact, even though I brought pictures of my husband and I together, she
didn't ask to see them (I was sort of disappointed, I was looking
forward to showing them...lol).

Best Wishes,
Rene

I believe that as long as you have been employed for 6 months or more
you can use your own income in support of your spouse/sponsor. Regarding
your Q4, if you are adjusting on the basis of marriage to a USC you
should bring marriage cert, certs for previous divorces/deaths of spouse
if relevant. But that is covered in the answer to Q6 anyway...
