Marriage and birth cert and tax is enough; bring some more evidence (joint bills, bank accounts etc) to the interview.

Yes, June 1st is ok to send off your packet. No need to send things express, it only wastes money.

thanks alot for the reply so it means i don't have to send lots of evidences to prove my bonafied marriage right ?

but what if i send too many evidences to prove my marriage fair ? would it be fine not to take a chance ?

like i'm jus thinkin about sending followin

1. two bank accounts statements joint.

2. four credit cards joint.

3. drivers licenses of both of us proving same address.

4. utility bills.

5. birth certificate of our only son.

6. tax return transcripts of last three years filled jointly.

7. one or two documents with both of our names on it like gym membership for my wife bought by me.

are they enough ?

or i should just send the tax returns , birth certificate of son .

we have been living on the same address since i came to usa.

and i have never gone outside of states since then.

please suggest.

Regards.

You should bring that evidence to the interview (unlikely they will ask to see it, but they might), but not send it. Only send what is asked.

Your list of documents is perfect. Remember to make an exact copy of your package before sending it out. One thing, probably doesn't apply to you but did you register with selective service? I was asked for proof of it as soon as my interview started.

[hihello 4]

it does not apply to me coz i came to usa just before my 28th birthday

so that's right i'm not gonna send extra stuff and just to keep it for interview if they ask for it.

thanks alot

Can't take this very lightly, some IO's carry this marriage thing to the nth degree, wife's IO was that way, even though I was sitting in the waiting room. While not necessary to send copies of all this documentation in, good idea to do so, and definitely bring it with you. Would save you another trip, but if you don't send it in initially, may tee off your IO because they will have to make copies of it.

Sure want proof your spouse is a US citizen, your marriage certificate, and if either of you had a previous marriage proof that your were free to marry again with all court divorce papers. Then residency requirements by bringing in all of your passports covering the last three years.

Also make a big deal about where you live, are both of your names on your home lease or deed? Read back as to how many had problems with not having a joint deed or lease. If you child was born here, normally not a problem, but if born abroad, may want DNA proof that child is the offspring of the US citizen spouse.

It can go easy, or though, all depends on what side of bed your IO got up that morning, better to be overly prepared, or will experience delays and more trips.

You may file Form N-400 ninety (90) calendar days before you complete your permanent residence requirement if your eligibility for naturalization is based upon being a:

Permanent resident for at least 5 years; or

Permanent resident for at least 3 years if you are married to a US citizen.

You can use the Early Filing Calculator to check when your 90 days starts.

[Penguin_ie 5,993]

You can send it this week (30th May would have been the earliest date). You can send it in 90 days before your actual elligibility date for naturalisation, because they recognise that it will take a while to get the paperwork processed. You cannot have your actual oath ceremony until the 3rd anniversary is over.
