Green card interview docs
In addition to standard docs (W2, paystub, EVL), I also heard you need to present your original birth certificate, SSN card, college transcripts, etc.? Is this true? Interviewing at SF office. Employment based.
A work certificate and marriage certificate
Is Adroll still rolling?
Is this for a dependent GC or through your company?
Employment based
Talk to a lawyer. (S)he’ll tell you what you need. In fact ask her/him to be present at the interview. It is allowed. That’s what I did
Not sure if Google would allow that, given sheer number of employment based applicants
Msft sends everyone with a lawyer
Make sure you medicals are up to date. In my case they had expired by the time I got the interview and had to redo them. In that case just bring an updated copy with you. Your lawyer should tell you all this.
I just did the interview. Just bring all the paperwork that support your story. You don’t know what they will ask, and you want to be able to answer the questions with proofs. aything work, money, health related shouldnt be too far if you have a question about it.
Thanks, what docs did they ask to see?
Nothing. But feeling conformable about our story was priceless. Full disclosure, it was for diversity green card (the lottery one).
I second bring ALL the paperwork. And organize it into file folders with clearly labeled tabs so you can quickly locate ANY document. I think it's also psychologically advantageous to come to the interview and put a huge stack of files on the desk. It really calls out "I am very well prepared" and maybe makes it less likely that they will think you're going to be a problem. In my case along with the usual stuff they ask for (tax return, marriage certificate, birth certificates, passports, pay stubs) they asked for two unusual things. First they wanted updated medicals since the ones I originally sent in had expired while I was waiting for the interview. Fortunately my lawyer warned me this could happen and I had them. Just handed over the new ones and we moved on. Second, they asked for proof that I was in legal status at the time I had filed the application. This is because unbelievably the USCIS officer did not have a copy or record of my most recent visa renewal WHICH USCIS HAD SENT ME, on USCIS letterhead and all. My lawyer had not anticipated that one! Fortunately since I had brought with me ALL my files from every prior application including everything they ever sent me and everything I ever sent them on any previous application I was able to dig out the renewal they had mailed me and that satisfied the officer. Got approved same day and greencard came in the mail five days later.
The updated medical is very standard
Thanks! I lost my old EAD cards from many years ago and also my SSN. Hopefully that won't be an issue..
Every document that went in the application. So yes, pretty much. They didn't ask to see anything though
