N-400 filing and documents to bring to the interview

[mark101 2]

Hello Everyone

Just wanted to ask: When my wife goes to the interview and its based on marriage to a USC - Is she required to bring with her all the evidence that we have been living together for the entire 3 year period or only from the period that we mailed in the I-751 form - because when we did mail the I-751 form we provided everything for the first two years and now since we are filing I'm assuming all we need to provide is from the date we mailed the I-751 until we actually file the N-400 - in that case it would only be ONE year worth of documents. Does anyone know???

When you get the interview letter, it tells you what to bring. When it became time for the wife's interview, all he wanted to see was my wife's and my state ID's. He returned those after the interview. He did state that he had our current tax return, so he didn't need anything else, and for me to just have a seat, it would only be the wife being interviewed this time.

Don't assume anything. Whatever is listed on the interview letter, (and the yellow sheet, if you get one), you bring with you.

I took to my interview everything I had submitted on my N-400 (copies and original) PLUS proof (original and copies) after that, so it was covering the time I filed for Naturalization until time of interview. In my case she had my folder with everything there and she only wanted to see proof from the period after I filed until date of interview. I asked if she wanted the originals but she only asked for the copies. I don;t know if some cases are different, but in my case that was it. I didn't want to risk so I took everything again (from when I filed N-400) in case any document was misplaced.

I wish her good luck on her interview.

True. Assuming you can go wrong. The best to do is taking what they request and having more easy in hand just in case. Better safe than sorry.
