I, myself had my gc 2008 and eligible to file N-400 in 2011 under 3 year rule but I just chose not to be in a rush. I just applied my N-400 on 2/28/2017 and on tuesday got a text from USCIS that my scheduled letter for fingerprinting is on the way. 

I'm sure plenty ppl choose to. It just seemed like the OP might have misunderstood when they were actually eligible.

is it silly to ask what OP means ? I have seen it but I don't know what it may mean.

Not silly, it means the original poster.

Hi there.

 

my advise is to avoid thinking : "the more paperwork i include, the better are my chances"

You need to include what is required, no more, no less.

The agent that will sort out your file will be overwhelmed with too much unnecessary documentation. This would not accelerate the process, i guess.

Please note there is something specific about the N-400 application, that doesn't apply to other applications like i-130 for example : If additional documentation is required , you have to send it in the case of the i-130. For the N-400, it just has to be shown at the interview.(The process does not slow down because they are waiting for additional papers)

If you apply on the 5 year base, you do not have to include anything concerning your marital life (of course the 3 year base requires many more documents).

Another example, do not include photos, unless you leave overseas. They will be taken when you do the biometrics.

You just have to include the following :

-Cover letter (listing the included documents in your file)

-Form G-1145 ( e-Notification of application acceptance)

-Form N-400 (Application for naturalization)

-Your payment for the fee (unless you ask for a reduced fee or a fee waiver)

-A copy of your green card (Front and back)

 

Unless your are in a special situation, i think tha's about it. But, i'm not an immigration lawyer .

What is crucial is to read and check every form, and make sure (20 times) that everything that has to be filled in, is, and all the required signatures are present

 

Hope that helps

 

Bonne chance.
