Got an interview notice today. My online status changed to Medicals received last December. Heard nothing since then, no DM2, actually it still shows "in process".
But my daughter's name was not on the notice. She is the dependent applicant in out case.
And things to bring seems a little more than anybody else's. Now I am starting to think this is not a landing interview.
See the email,

Some docs I don't even have, e.g."Joint utilities accounts". My husband pays the bill every month.
So, is this that kind of interview? To check our marriage is genuine. Or to check my background? I will not bring my daughter to the interview since on that day she will be in daycare if this is a background check interview. I am looking into it.
