Question about interpreter for wife's N400

[pm5k 129]

My wife is applying for citizenship under the 3 years married to US citizen rule.  I helped her with filling out the N-400 form, and was effectively the interpreter for the many, if not, the majority of questions.  She is working on her English, and can have a conversation, but forms (especially ones like the N-400) are at a somewhat different level.  

 

She requested that I write that I was the interpreter who helped her fill out the form.  

Assuming she passes the English test during the interview (since it is many months away, enough time to practice), will there be any issue with her listing me as interpreter for the N-400?  

 

As for the package, we were planning to send the following with the completed N-400 form, but are open to suggestions:

1. Payment

2. Copies of marriage documents (English translations only, or both languages?)

3. Copies of deed for property we both own

4. Tax documents for jointly filed taxes for the last few years

5. Photocopy of child's birth certificate

6. Photocopy of my US passport (I just renewed this, should I also send a photocopy of my old one, which was valid during the time we got married, for proof that I was a USC for the entire 3 years, or would item #7 take care of that?)

7. Photocopy of my US birth certificate

8. Copies of the front/back of her green card. 

 

Thanks

I do not think that you will have any issue for listing yourself as interpreter. 

I included copy of my urdu Nikah Nama and english translation.

You can send either US passport or US birth certificate to prove your US citizenship status.

No issue with listing yourself as the interpreter. 

I am assuming you got married in Pakistan. Dont you have the NADRA nikah nama? That should be sufficient. If not then Urdu and English should be fine.

Your US Birth Certificate is good enough, no need for Passport.

I have an Urdu Nikah Namah and an English translation that I used during the I-130 process.  I sent copies of those in with the N-400
