document checklist

[cupoftea 1]

I was about to send my N-400 form but I realized the date has been updated at the bottom of the pages. should i go through all over and fill out again? another thing, some people told me it is safe to send more documents than what the document checklist and instruction say e.g. state ID and passport?? I need an opinion from people who already approved and citizenship at their hands. Answers will be greatly appreciated.

If the forms on USCIS have been updated then you must use the updated forms or face an RFE for out-dated forms.

If you look at the N400 forms page on the UCSIS website it says this......

Edition Date :

03/22/12;

(06/17/11; 01/18/11; 11/23/10; 04/05/10; 01/15/10 and 01/22/09 editions also accepted)

Unless you have a very old form you are good to go.

I just had a look at the 03/22/12 and 06/17/11 editions of the forms side-by-side, and upon cursory examination I didn't see any differences at all. I wonder what they changed.

Thank you folks. Honestly, i too had a hard time finding any difference between those old and newest updated forms... think it should be fine.. Have a good day

If you are applying based on 5 years as LPR, you really don't need anything extra.

If your application is based on marriage plus 3 years LPR, it might make you feel better to load up on current documents that refer to you and your spouse, i.e. joint utility bills, mortgage statements, lease agreement, etc. -- proof of ongoing marriage. I wouldn't go so far as to send extra identity documents, such as your spouse's passport AND birth certificate, for example. Mostly just give them what they're asking for.
