My wife, who came here via a K-1 visa in 2007, is going to her Naturalization interview this Friday. The invitation letter says to bring her passport, our marriage certificate, my naturalization certificate, an ID and the invitation letter. But I've also read on here that the immigration officers at the interview often request tax return forms for the past 3 years, proof of residence, etc.

So, does anyone have a full list of what they may request? Is this actually stated anywhere on their website or in any of their letters, or do they just decide on a whim what they want to look at during the interview?

Thanks,

Val

Those items that you mentioned.,old and new passports for travel history( they did not look at mine though). I would suggest you also go with the tax retun stuff and prooof that you guys are still together such as recent bank statemnet, lease agreement showing both your nam,es or mortgage papers. I mean all these papers are going to be in any bag right? better be ready than sorry. if whoever interview her feels they dod not need the other items, fine than having her approval postponed till another time. best of luck

With marriage, proof her spouse is a US citizen, and if either of you were divorced, all of your divorce papers. They assume they never saw that during the AOS and ROC stages. No bets on whether they will want to see your old expired and new foreign passports to verify your trips you posted.

No bets either if you have joint tax returns, joint property taxes, health and life insurance, joint vehicle ownership, bank and credit card statements. joint home ownership, in our case, the idiot still wanted to see a completely worthless joint utility bill, but we had one. While minor traffic violations do not have have to be reported, may get stuck with proof you paid those fines. Even if you didn't, DMV would take away your drivers' license and license plates, showing your drivers' license isn't enough proof or an idiot like that. Having an immigrant IO that can't even speak decent English is a bad sign if you get one of those. And you are only dealing with this one idiot, not a board that can either vote you in or out.

Good luck is getting a decent reasonable IO, no bets on that.
