Clarifying questions about Naturalization checklist

[getcr1 0]

Hi all,

A few questions about the Naturalization checklist:

-When it says to provide "All passports and travel documents (including expired and current) issued to you by any government," does this mean I need to get access to my old passports? I think my first one was when I was 6. I only have 2 passports with me. One with my original visa stamped inside, and my current one. Is this sufficient? What do they mean by travel documents? Did you include flight info when traveling abroad?

-What does it mean by "your current marriage certificate registered by a civil authority"? Is this just my marriage certificate plus translation?

-For "original IRS form 1722 listing ta info or copies of the income tax forms you filed for the past 3 years, are copies of 1040 forms for each tax year good enough? Has anyone's IRS 1722 forms didn't make it to their house prior to the interview? were you OK?

-What are samples of marital union and proof of residence? Isn't the marriage certificate and green card enough? did you include old versions of affidavits? Insurance?

Did anyone include any photos or anything else?

Any help would be great!!!

Also, anyone know how many questions you need correct to pass the citizenship test based on the 100 questions?

Thanks in advance to all!

I can help you with a couple of parts of your question. I had my interview a few of weeks ago and I took my expired passport which covered most of the time that I have lived in the US and my current passport, I didn't worry about and they didn't ask me for any older ones than that, I have no idea if I even still have them.

As to the number of questions they ask, you are asked 10 from the list of a hundred questions, and as soon as you answer 6 correctly you have passed. When you go for your biometrics you are given a booklet and CD with the questions and answers that are used in the test, the booklet also includes a word list for the writing and reading test.

I think form 1722 is no longer used by IRS(correct me if I'm wrong), 1040 forms can be used or if you have enough time, just order tax transcripts, you will get it from 5-10 business days.

-What are samples of marital union and proof of residence? Isn't the marriage certificate and green card enough? did you include old versions of affidavits? Insurance?

If your application for citizenship is based on a 3 yr rule, proof of marital unions are same stuff/evidence that you submitted during your AOS & ROC. And, any proofs that you are still married and living together with the same USC spouse.
