Hi All

 

I am about to send my N-400 Packet in a week from now under 5 year rule.

 

Just  want to make sure that I am sending n submitting everything correctly.

 

 

My Cover Letter ::

 

United States Department of Homeland Security

U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services

USCIS

P.O. Box 21251

Phoenix, AZ 85036

 

Nature of Submission: N-400  Application for Naturalization

 

First Name Middle Name   Last name

A-123456789

 

Please find enclosed my application for US Citizenship. Along with the N-400 form, I have included the following:

          N-400

·         A check in the amount of $725.00 made payable to Department of Homeland Security.

·         2 identical passport size color photographs of myself with A# written on back

·         Photocopies of My Green card (I-551 front and back), current State ID

·         Proof of Termination of Prior Marriage: Divorce Decree

 

Copies of documents submitted are exact Photocopies of documents I understand and that I may be required to submit original documents to an Immigration Officer at a later date.

 

Sincerely

Questions: 

 

1. Do I need to send my Divorce Decree too or take it with me at the interview?

2. Do I have to send my Tax papers too or just bring at the time of interview ?

 

3. For  Part 2 : Information about you at 6.USCIS Online Account number I can't even Remembr If I creted one or Not (Even If I created I can't Remember now ) So Can I leave it Blank ??

 

I Really Appreciate if you guys can help me for my questions.

Hey there @jabbal

 

1. I sent a photocopy of my Divorce Decree. I did not send an original/certified copy. I will take the original/certified copy with me to the interview.

2. I did not send any tax documentation with my application. I will bring 5 years of tax transcripts with me to the interview.

 

3. I couldn't remember whether I had either. So I left it blank.

 

I hope this helps and good luck with your application!

Hi 

For part 1 & 2 send in photo copy's of them with your application & when you go for the interview take the originals with you.

I don't know about part 3, as for the two photos they are not required as apparently the biometerics photo is used, but I would take them with you to the interview just in case as that's what I will be doing.

Why are you sending two photographs?  Are you leaving outside USA?  I can see in the instructions that clearly says to send photos only if you leaving overseas.

In my case, both of us are divorced and yes, I am sending a copy of the divorce decrees and yes, I will send a copy to my interview too.

I am sending my taxes for the last three years and yes, I will take a copy of them to the interview too.

Hi Again all

 

Some questions that I forget to ask you all before.

 

1.      Should I need to staple all 20 pages of N-400 or send them with paper clipped.

 

2.       5 years Tax returns- What is best (Send them with N-400 or bring them at the time of interview ? If yes should I need to staple them ? like staple 2012 tax.. then staple 2013 Tax Return pages n so on ??

 

3. Should I need to N/A Every field that I am leaving blank .. For example...

 

Information about your Children.. (Don't have any kid so I put NONE there..and then

 

Last name (N/A) so should I need to N/A First name... Middle name A Number date of birth.. country of biirth Etc etc. or N/A Should work at the last name and leave others BLANK ??

 

Sorry may be overthinking but didn't want my Citizenship delay for my mistakes.

 

Thank you All.
