Document Checklist for Naturalization interview

[AMarina 0]

Hello, there!

Can somebody please advise on the following: just recieved my invitation for the interview and the document checklist requires me to provide the current marriage certificate "registered by a civil authority" and "certified copies of birth certificates" for the children.

I have the apostile-certified marriage and birth certificate for our daughter which are also attached to the Russian-language official translations (we had to use them during our recent trip to my home country). Do you think I can use these certified documents, although the Russian translations are attached? Or should I get the new certified copies? Do they just look at the originals or do they collect them during the interview?

One more question - I see people corresponding about some "yellow letter" - I have only received on letter (white) with the invitation for the interview and the Interview Document Checklist (N-659). Should I be getting this additional yellow letter or is it not sent to everyone?

Thank you very much!

We got a "yellow letter", I think your white letter has the same info.

My personal opinion is that your translations of birth certificates and marriage certificate a good, as long as they are apostatized and translated into English.

One advise- take all your documents with you, not just those in the list. My husband did bring just those in the list and at the interview the officer requested our marries certificate, which was not in the list and he did not take it with him. Thus, his case was not approved although he passes the exam. He was blaming himself!!!!!Then he had to mail it to them and it caused a delay. We did know if they got it or not (though we had delivery confirmation).Fortunately, he has his interview scheduled in August..
