Proof of ongoing relationship when filing for citizenship/3 year rule?

[2ndMessiah 184]

Do you need evidence of an on going relationship when you interview for citizenship if applying under the 3 year rule?

I thought I saw on here somewhere, were an interviewee was asked for some evidence. If so what do I need.

It's some additional evidence of being married to your original petitioner so you qualify for the 3 year thing. Look at the checklist http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/article/attachments.pdf

I sent things new since removing conditions. It was the latest joint tax return and the most recent bank statement from several accounts. Not much. I notice the checklist now says 3 tax returns or transcripts. At the actual interview my husband had, the lady didn't ask to see anything, even the original documents the yellow letter said to bring...marriage certificate, divorce decree from previous marriage, USC's original birth certificate to prove citizenship. Hope you get an easy one.

do you need to bring photo albums?

It would be unusual for them to ask to see pictures, but if you have them available, never hurts to have too much.

do you need to bring photo albums?

they focus at this stage evidence which shows that you and your spouse live at the same address in order to qualify for citizenship through 3 years rule. So, try to bring utility bills, joint account statements etc

do you need to bring photo albums?

I wouldn't think so. I honestly just did what they said in the checklist:

If you are applying for naturalization on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen, send the following 4 items:

1) Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for the last 3 years:

a. Birth certificate (if your spouse never lost citizenship since birth); or

b. Certificate of Naturalization; or

c. Certificate of Citizenship; or

d. The inside of the front cover and signature page of your spouses current U.S. passport; or

e. Form FS-240, Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America; and

2) Your current marriage certificate; and

3) Proof of termination of all prior marriages of your spouse (divorce decree(s), annulment(s), or death certificate(s)); and

4) Documents referring to you and your spouse:

a. Tax returns, bank accounts, leases, mortgages, or birth certificates of children; or

b. Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-certified copies of the income tax forms that you both filed for the past 3 years; or c. An IRS tax return transcript for the last 3 years.

They ask for documents with both names, not photos together.

thank you, i thought so. I don't really think photos really mean much

Wife had her interview 5/20 and they didn't ask for the originals or really any info about me (birth cert, passport, previous divorce decree, etc.). If your supporting evidence mailed in matches your AOS and original ROC documentation, they're fairly accepting that the relationship is valid. They really just want to make sure you're still together, so proof to that is important.

Nick Nick, thanks for the check list. Yes that is the one I worked from and sent copies of all the required documents. I sent copies of the last 3 years tax transcripts for part 4.

just completed Bio metrics on Wednesday so lets see what the outcome is in about 3 months.

Thanks.
