I was extremely stressed out once I received the interview notice letter. We prepared a lot of questions and additional documents but the officer end up just asked us to verify the information on the forms are correct and he approved us right away. And he mentioned he would ran a background check and if everything is good I will receive the green card. Our interview is at 8:00AM and we were as to go to the room at 8:05 and we left the uscis center at 8:15 and we were in the car before we even started driving my case changed from interview to new card is being produced

Who takes pictures at important family occasions? If you were an immigration officer, what would you ask? Try to imagine possible questions, and ask them of each other as you prepare for your visa or green card interview. ============================================= Here’s what will probably happen at your adjustment of status interview, step by step. 1. You will need to pass through a security gate and metal detector. The guards will ask to see your appointment notice. You will not be allowed to bring any weapons, food or drink, cameras (including camera phones) into the building. 2. After sitting in the waiting room with dozens of other couples for so long that you’re sure you have been long forgotten, you will be summoned to the inner rooms of the USCIS adjustments unit. 3. The USCIS officer will lead you to his or her desk and check your identification. Just when you are seated comfortably, you, your spouse, and your foreign language interpreter (if you have brought one) will have to stand up again, raise your right hands, and take oaths to tell the truth. The officer will ask to see all of the immigrating family's passports and travel documents, work permits (if any), Social Security cards (if any), and driver’s licenses (if any). The officer will also want to see documents from the petitioning spouse, such as a driver’s license, Social Security card (if available), and proof of legal U.S. immigration status (such as a green card or U.S. passport). 4. The officer will start by going through your written application for adjustment of status, asking about the facts and examining the medical and fingerprint reports for factors that might make you ineligible for a green card. This is one of the most important parts of the interview. You will sign the application to confirm its correctness. 5. The officer will ask you and your spouse about your married life, such as where you met, when and why you decided to get married, how many people attended your wedding, or what you did on your most recent holiday celebration. You will back up your answers with documents showing the genuine nature of your marriage, such as mortgage or rental agreements, joint credit cards, and joint utility bills. 6. If the officer spots a problem in your application that you can correct by submitting additional materials, he or she will likely put your case on hold and send you home with a list of documents to send in by mail within a specified time. For example, if your spouse’s earnings are insufficient to get past the U.S. Poverty Guidelines, the officer may suggest you find another family member to sign an Affidavit of Support. It's rare for USCIS to deny an application on the spot. 7. If the officer suspects that your marriage is fraudulent, however just a sham to get you a green card he or she will add a whole new step to the process. You will have to meet the Fraud Unit. There, officers will interview you and your spouse separately and intensively, asking mostly the same questions of each of you. The officer will compare the results of your two interviews. =========================================== Here is some guidance on what to bring to that interview. You will also receive a list from USCIS, so read it carefully and include anything on that list that you don't see mentioned below. a. Photo Identification and Passport You and your spouse will each need to present photo identification. Your passport is best. If you don’t have a passport, use a separate form of photo identification for the interview. The U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse usually presents a driver’s license. b. Original Documents and All INS or USCIS Permits Assemble the originals of the documents you used to enter the United States, and any other documents you’ve received from U.S. consulates or INS or USCIS offices (for example, an Advance Parole travel permit). Also, if you’ve mailed copies of documents to USCIS, such as your marriage and birth certificates, bring the originals. Your spouse will need to bring the original proof of his or her U.S. citizenship status (a birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or passport) or permanent resident status (a green card or stamp in his or her passport). The officer may not ask for all of these, but you’ll be glad you brought them if he or she does ask. c. Updates to Materials in the Application Has anything important in your life changed since filing the adjustment of status paperwork? If, for example, you or your spouse have a new or different job, bring a letter from the new employer and copies of recent pay stubs. (Of course, your spouse’s income still needs to be high enough to deal with the Affidavit of Support requirements. If it has gone down, you, the immigrant, may be able to help by bringing proof that you are now working in the United States.) If you and your spouse have reached the two year anniversary of your marriage since filing the application, be ready to remind the officer of this, so you’ll be approved for permanent, not conditional, residency. If a tax year has passed, bring a copy of your latest tax returns (or better yet, an IRS transcript of these returns). And even if nothing has changed, prove that fact with a recent pay stub showing that the financial sponsor is still bringing in the income. d. Proof That Your Marriage Is Real The interview is often the first opportunity that the USCIS officer has to decide whether your marriage is “for real.” The documents that you show are important factors in the decision. They should show that you and your spouse’s lives are intertwined and that you trust each other with your financial and personal matters. Below is a list of documents most immigrants present. However, this list isn’t engraved in stone. Use your imagination and be ready to do some organized “show and tell.” No need to flood the officer with paper—copies of six items from this list would be a reasonable amount. • rental agreements, leases, or mortgages showing that you live together and/or have leased or bought property in both spouses’ names • your mutual child’s birth certificate or a doctor’s report saying that one of you is pregnant • utility bills in both your names • joint bank statements • joint credit card statements • evidence that one spouse has made the other a beneficiary on his/her life or health insurance or retirement account • auto registrations showing joint ownership and/or addresses • joint club memberships • receipts from gifts that you purchased for one another (these should be typical gift purchases, such as jewelry, flowers, or candy) • letters from friends and family to each or both of you mailed to your joint address • photos of you and your spouse taken before and during your marriage, including photos from your wedding. (USCIS knows wedding pictures can be faked, but many officers enjoy seeing them anyway.) The photos should, if possible, include parents and other relatives from both families. Write the date taken and a brief description of what the photo shows on the back (or underneath, if you’re photocopying them). Don’t bother with videos of the wedding or other events—there won’t be time or a space to view them.

I only have one question, so all the documents that was asked in the interview noticed, did you have to provide everything or which one do you think it is very very important to take along and also, did you have to do the medical examination and vaccination record as well? please help
Chloe ZhangJun 15, 2021
I do not think which document is important than the other. I tried to prepare all the documents on the list and if for any reason I don’t have the document on the list I will check with my husband and make sure we are on the same page of the reason why we don’t have the documents they asked for. I prepared as many documents as I can in case they asked for it but I don’t have and they may issue a RFE.
Chloe ZhangJun 15, 2021
I submitted the medical exam and vaccination records the same time I submitted my I-765/I-131/I-130/I-485 and I did not receive any RFE
