Birth Certificate for N-400

[Rislam 0]

Hello,

For N-400.

USCIS only asked for copy of Green Card (both side)

Should I send Birth Certificate, they have not asked for it.

We appreciate your answer.

Regards,

Rafi

The BC is not required at N-400 filing time. In the link you show, there are five different possible ways of showing the citizenship of the USC spouse. In our case, we used a passport, even though we could have used a birth certificate. If the USC Spouse was not born in the USA, his/her birth certificate would probably be useless for proving citizenship.

But anyway, someone sending in their N-400 should read that link and follow its instructions. The birth certificate of the applicant isn't required. The birth certificate of the applicant's spouse is one of the possible things that may be used to provide proof of US citizenship.

We recently got the interview letter, and in it was enclosed another checklist of documents to bring to the interview. On that checklist, if I recall correctly, the birth certificates of both the USC and naturalizing alien were requested.

If applying for Naturalization as the spouse of the USC,

Your marriage certificate,

divorce papers,

your spouse birth certificate - I laminated my husband Birth Certificate, I guess it will be okay and I will taking his passport also with me.

You have to take copies and original. I guess I'll be taking the same documents I mailed to NSC.
