Interview in Chicago, please your experience and advice is needed.
Hey guys, Please my interview is next month and i am so nervous. Your different experiences and advise is highly needed, please don't just read this post and pass. I know its a long post and can be an hassle to respond.

First of, hubby is estranged from his family, he has no siblings so it was just the two of us that went too the court house for the marriage as my own family is not here, we plan on doing something with my family later on.

Secondly, it was a huge hassle doing anything without an ssn, so the list below is all i am taking to the interview. When i read how a lot of people carry boxes of paperwork for their interview it makes me really nervous. My EAD just got approved and i haven't even received it yet.

This is the list of documentations I would be taking to the interview.

Utility bill
Joint accounts
Family plan Phone bill
Facebook congratulatory messages
Letter and card from family in Nigeria
Very Long history of WhatsApp correspondences between my Husband and I. The messages alone should be enough to convince the IO that our marriage is real, cos we mostly communicate via whatsapp.
Pictures(No wedding pictures) This makes me nervous too.
Letters from pastor, and friends.
A lot of other things we could not do jointly because I do not have an SSN.

Also the interview letter has a list of documents we should bring.

Which one is a completed affidavit of support (form i-864) with all required evidence, including the following for each of your sponsor.

All documentation establishing your eligibility for lawful permanent resident status.

Birt certificates of all children of this marriage(we do not have kids together yet but my spouse has 2 kids) but what do they mean by custody papers for your children and for your spouse children not living with you.

Lastly would it help if my lawyer goes with me, as far as i am concerned i only paid the lawyer to post my documents, cos he doesn't really help and makes it seem like i bother him, now he is going to charge me an additional 375 dollars if i want him there, so i am thinking do their presence really add any value?

P.S any one interview in Chicago office before? How was it?
