Q: Hi, my spouse and I have our I-485 marriage based interview coming up tomorrow after applying for adjustment of status l

A: It’s great to hear you're preparing for your adjustment of status interview. While it's always best to have all of your original documents with you, don't worry if you don't have them all. Just take what you have available with you to the interview. The USCIS officer conducting the interview will let you know if they need any additional documentation from you and will provide you with the necessary time to provide it.

In most cases, if you've submitted all the copies of documentation required for your application, the USCIS officer won't ask for original documentation during the interview. However, it's always best to be prepared and have all relevant documents with you.

If you're feeling unsure about the process or have any questions about what to expect at the interview, I highly recommend consulting with a local immigration attorney. They can guide you through the process and represent you at the interview if necessary.

I wish you the best of luck with your adjustment of status interview!

A: It's important to bring all necessary documents to your I-485 marriage based interview to demonstrate your eligibility for adjustment of status. This includes any forms you submitted to USCIS as part of your application.

If you don't have the original copies of the forms, it's better to bring copies of the ones you submitted rather than refilling them out. It's important to be honest with the USCIS officer about the situation and explain that you don't have the original copies. You can also provide an explanation for any discrepancies, such as the date being different.

It's important to remember that the USCIS officer will be evaluating your overall eligibility for adjustment of status based on the totality of the evidence you provide, so focus on bringing as much relevant evidence as possible to demonstrate your relationship and eligibility for adjustment of status.
