Received Letter For Interview

[clif]

I need some advice in connection with a letter I received from USCIS for an in-person interview. It says that this interview will be video taped. It mentions a list of items to bring to the interview if they are checked, but none of the items in this letter are checked.

The items are:
- This letter, passport, I-94
- Medical exam results, Form I-693
- A current letter of employment
- Evidence of a common residence and shared life
- Other

My priority date is not current. And, my I-140 is approved and it has been more than 6 months since I-485 filing. I changed jobs about 4 months ago and did not transfer my H1B and started working using EAD. My H1B was revoked by my last employer. Also, I did not send a AC21 letter after switching jobs.

Is not sending the AC21 letter the reason for this interview? Also, since none of the items in the letter is checked, what does this mean? Please advise.

clif, I wouldn't worry too much regarding the interview. Just take the latest paystubs, Employment letter from your new employer and all the evidence that you have to prove that you have been legally maintaining status in the country. Since you have already submitted medical exam results you don't need to take them with you.

They usually just send a standard letter without checking any items in the list.

First, the letter you got is probably a standard local office interview letter, so that it assumes a marriage-based interview rather than employment-based. This happens often.

You should have an AC21 letter with you for the interview, to show that you continue to be eligible to adjust status.
