What to take to interview?

[RichardS 0]

Can someone please advise what my wife needs to take into her N-400 interview?

1) I know that she needs her Ukrainian Passport.

2) I know that she needs her 10-yr GC.

3) I know that she needs other ID like her Driver's License.

I have read where tax transcripts may also be required? We had included them as a part of our

N-400 Application Submission (2008, 2007 & 2006) but do they also need to be taken to the interview?

Anything else?

Many thanks,

RichardS

I took all the originals of the papers I have sent to them. And just in case I took some new utility bills - it never hurts to be ready At the end they didn't ask for any of it, but I couldn't risk it - getting so far and to make a mistake at the end is really not my style. Good luck on the interview!
