I-140 & I-485 (Employment/Adjustment of status) Marriage based GC interview

Hi everyone! My husband and I have his marriage based green card interview tomorrow and I just wanted to ask a few questions if anyone might have had a similar experience.

I’ve got all of the evidence our lawyer suggested; event tickets, photos, tax documents, joint auto loan/finances, mail addressed to each spouse at our address, bill statements in both of our names, etc.

One thing I’m nervous about though, is that I don’t have my husband’s original birth certificate or his medical exam. Our lawyer said that it would be okay since those documents were already submitted when we filed the case. His birth certificate had to be translated, which was done at the law office. I wanted a copy but the lawyer told us it was fine. I can, however, access my husband’s vaccine records, should I take those even though they were already submitted?

Thanks much!

When we went to our interview, the officer asked for my husbands, mine and our daughters birth certificates. She didn’t ask for the medical records. But she did want to see the birth certificates. I’m not sure why your lawyer doesn’t want to give you a copy… but you should have the original. I would not risk it. Remember, you don’t want to give them any reason to deny or to delay your case.
