I have an interview on Sep 9th so i am trying to arrange all documents we have to take.
1.We are taking the statements of our joint bank account,credit card,healt insurance,phone bill.
But my question is,Do we have to take the statements of our individual bank accounts or credit cards???
2.I am taking the recent 2 Months Statements of everything(bank stmts,phone bills,internet etc)....is that enough????
Instead of last two months, take the oldest and the most recent statement for all the financial documents.
1. no
2. yes, thats enough
below is my interview experience, hope it helps:
Details:
First off, thanks to my excellent planning skill, we only printed our photos 10 min before the interview (there are only 30 of them in total) and put them in a sloppy tiny album. We were 5min late for the interview. Then we had to wait for over an hour I noticed many people came after us got called in before us, while some people got there earlier but got called after. Anyway, when the interview started, the interviewer mainly went through our file to verify name address etc. Then he asked "how did you meet each other?"; "did u take any trip together?". We volunteered to show our album. Then he asked me my spouse DOB and birth place. Then "any supporting documents?"
We showed: shared bank account and lease, shared car insurance, supporting letters from our parents
What we didnt have: wedding rings (interviewer didnt notice), shared bills (we forgot all of them). Besides, I thought my case would be somewhat complicated because I overstayed visa F1, had long distance relationship, didnt have a real wedding (only civil ceremony - and theres no friend/family was present at that ceremony), but interviewer didnt ask about those.
Interviewer asked about 10 yes/no questions in the form, then took my I-94 and said Ill receive GC soon. It took only 10min for the interview and was much easier than we thought!!!
My advice to other people: smile a lot and dont act nervous
Civil wedding is a real wedding...lol!!! What you didnt have is the cost of the "flashy wedding", about $20,000 in debt when it is all said and done, at a minimum.
