Last Friday I received my Interview checklist in the mail and I have a few questions.

1. There is no interview date on it. Do I get the date in a seperate letter??

2. It's not asking me to bring my British passport. Should I take it??

3. Because I took a trip outside of the US for 14 months from Nov 1983 to Jan 1985 it is asking for an IRS letter 1722 listing tax returns for the last five years. According to form 4506 they want $57 per return. Couldn't I just take my copies of my tax returns?? And do I really need these as it happened while I was serving in the Army??

4. I had a run in with the law 21 years ago. I was detained in the county jail for one weekend and was never charged with anything. However when I called the county records dept I was told they don't have any record of it. What should I tell the interviewer??

Thank you for taking the time to answer these.

1. You'll get another letter. The service center goes through your file and determines if you need anything to bring to your interview.

2. Take your passport. You never know if the IO might need to look at it

3. Confused on this one. You were out from 1983 to 1985... but what exactly does that have to do with with the last five years? Take your transcripts for the last 5 years, you should be fine. Less papers work with 1722. Plus the transcripts are free.

4. You could also get a letter from the county clerks office stating that there is no record of you being in jail. That way your covered. Or you can just let your IO know about it and what you did.

***My IO never even asked for any of the documents listed on the paper they sent me.*** But that was just him so who knows.

Good luck with your journey.

Thanks for the reply.

I was confused about #3 as well. The letter states "If you have taken a trip outside the United States that lasted for 6 months or longer since becoming a Permanant Resident, bring an original IRS 1722 letter, listing tax information for the past five years..." Beats me.

I was just filling out the form 4506 (listed on the document checklist) and it states that I need to pay $57 per return. Do I have the wrong form.

Never Mind. form 4506 is for copies and cost $57 each. Form 4506-T is for transcripts and are free.

you got it.

One more question. They are asking for certified copies of my kids birth certificates. I took copies to a Notary Public but was told they don't do that. They can only certify if someone is signing a document, etc. Do I need to contact the county and get certified copies from them??
