evidence required?

[cillyx5 2]

If applying under the 3year PR, am I required to send evidence of our marriage, or evidence of me living in the USA?

As far as I can see on the form and instructions, I only need to send in my IRS tax returns.

So-sick-of-printing-evidence! Petition, adjustment of status, interview, removal of conditions, on and on and blahhhhhhh.

K wait. I see now that the checklist states I need to send "documents relating to you and your spouse"… a) tax returns, bank accounts, leases, mortgages, birth certificates of children, OR b) IRS certified tax return forms that you both filed for the past 3 years, OR c) an IRS tax return transcript for the last 3 years.

Is the IRS tax return transcript showing joint filing enough, or do I need to do the bank accounts and leases and mortgages evidence too?

You will be asked to bring cominling evidences to interview, you can send copy of them with your n400, but you will have a chance to show them at interview.

I sent all the documents they asked for in the yellow letter with my application and i made duplicates and brought the originals when i went for the interview today, they didn't ask for anything. so...yeah. I would suggest to bring it anyway. Better to be safe than sorry. I've heard stories of officers asking for documents that they couldn't produce at that time and had to sign a paper that they cannot make a decision at this time and wait for a RFE letter.

If you mail either copies of your income tax returns, or, better, tax transcripts with your N-400, you have fulfilled the document requirements for a bona fide marriage. That doesnt' mean that an I.O. doesn't have the right to ask for other documents, but that would be rather unusual, a sign that he or she is not entirely convinced that all if kosher here.

I have just sent my packet out with only tax transcripts + house lease as evidence. I'll let you know how that will eventually turn out, stay tuned in 3-4 months (hopefully).
