not necesarry for now, but you should take them to the interview just in case the officer asks for them.

Thank you, looks like my package will include:

- cover letter

- photocopy of my Permanent Resident card - both sides,

- 2 photos,

- N - 400 aplication,

- money order

Is that sounds about right?

That's right. After five years they want to make it as easy as they can for people to get their citizenship. I didn't even bother with a cover letter, I just paperclipped the application, the check, my greencard copies and the passport photos and sent them in.

Don't send a money order, send a check.

That's the only way to know when the USCIS has received your application. Not only that, but if a money order gets lost, you can buy a new one with your money, and wait 90 days until they return the cash for the first one to you. Even worse, while you mailed off the second one, they all of a sudden cash the first one and, then, also the second one. Then try getting your money back. Good luck with that.

Sure go along with the check, and with internet banking, can print it out for proof they received it. Not sure why they want two passport photos, used that terrible shot they took of my stepdaughter at her biometrics. Claim you have a choice to use your own photo, but wasn't offered.

I packed in four years or IRS transcripts that is all she had, couldn't start part time jobs until she was 16 and her college grade transcripts as proof she couldn't have a full time job. Her IO did not want to see those, not required anyway for the five year. But just in case.

He did want to see proof of paid traffic violation she received when she was 16 years ago, could of asked me for that, I was the one that paid it. But that caused a delay.

For all you know, they will want proof you never voted or didn't join the Nazi party in 1933, they are not very good at math to realize you were born some odd 55 years later. No telling what they will come up with next. That you can't be prepared for.

Did the same, except no cover letter and I sent a check instead of a money order.
