N-400 with I-751 Pending

[Lermontov 0]

Hi Guys,

 

My spouse is applying for citizenship after 3 years of marriage together.

 

Some questions that seem obvious after going through the N-400 application:

 

1. Do you submit a copy of the I-551 stamp in lieu of the permanent resident card? Include expired card as well?

 

2. Do you need to put employment and school for 5 years, or only 3 years? The intent doesn't seem to be listing employment if that employment was in the country you immigrated from before the immigration process started. 

 

3. Same thing with the "Provide the total number of trips (24 hours or longer) you have taken outside the United States during the last 5 years." What do you do if you’ve only been in the US 3 years? Do they recognize that this form has limitations and should be read contextually, or should you follow it verbatim regardless?

 

Thanks for the help!

1. Technically only a photocopy of the card, but it's not specified. I'd send copy of both. 

2. and 3. You answer everything as of it says 3 years instead of 5.

has she or he also been a GC holder for almost 3 years or 3 years? it is not only having been married for 3 years, but also a GC holder for 3 years or 90 days prior of being a GC holder for 3 years to apply for citizenship

 

for citizenship she needs to send copy front and back of the GC to show when she became a GC holder to verify if she qualifies

Thanks for this. Yeah, I mean 3 years as a GC holder.

you can submit a copy of your previous GC and the stamp copy ! I did that .. but the problem you might face is that they may not process your N400 until your I751 get approved first ! good luck anyway
