evidence for N-400 application

[karakmitchell 0]

Hello Everyone,

We've been out of the loop for the past few years, living without worry about paperwork, filing fees, etc. Now that it is time to prepare my husband's citizenship application, I'm curious about the supporting evidence people send in. I've read the guides and seen the recommended pieces, but still have a few questions.

Is the purpose to show that we have a genuine marriage, that we live here in the US, or both?

How much is too much?

I don't want to annoy whoever opens the packet...

Thanks for all your help and best of luck to all.

I am interested to see what replies you get, as reading the USCIS instructions for N-400 it seems all they need is photo's, copy of PR card and the form....assuming you have no criminal convictions etc.

I find this very hard to believe but have yet to find other evidence myself!?

There were several people who wrote what they mailed with their package. A lot of people send in several of the listed items such as tax returns, children's birth cerificates, bank accounts, etc....

I am sure if you spend 10 minutes or so on the threads in the US Citizenship General Discussion, you will be able to see what others have mailed.

I sent in the minimum of what was asked since I had sent in the year before a huge package for the I-751. I did bring a package of up to date documents that proved we were still married and living together with me to the interview but she wasn't interested. She reviewed my application, checked my passport to verify dates out of the country (only effective for one trip, mind you), went over all of the questions and copies of the documents, etc. I asked her if she wanted to see the originals of anything and she said' no, thanks' this is fine. It was quite painless. So, I would suggest that you provide exactly what is listed - if you use the tax transcripts you don't need to send in all of the other types of validating information - and prepare a package of additional supporting material to bring with you to the interview, since you know you are going to have an interview. Your file is really not looked at in any detail until the interview anyway so it is the same person you would provide the additional evidence to who is making a decision on your application.

Follow the Guide to Naturalization provided at the USCIS website - it has a document checklist you can use that is very helpful.

Do you do everything for your husband? If so, make sure HE signs the N-400 form it though. After all, for the first time this step is all about him, not you.

FIRST step all you need to do is fill that form carefully and send it with two photos and copy of ur green card front and back thats all.

about proving stuff marriage,tax return ,court fine paid ...etc everything at the time of your intervew.when you ll get your interview letter it will tell you everythin you need to bring .

so send only as much you asked for so they dont delay ur app.gudluck ppl
