For what it's worth, the N-400 instructions say to bring those supporting documents to the interview but don't say to include them in the initial mailing. I have the same question as @Everything.

I think you guys did not read that part of the instructions, of course, you need to attach evidence to the file as well as bring them with you to the interview.

I didn’t include other supporting documents except green card copy and marriage certificate.

I read application instructions that we can bring all other supporting documents during the interview.

I didn’t receive other letter yet after fingerprints. 

If you attached Marriage Certificate that is part of the supporting documents, you do not have to attach the whole list, but at least one or some of them. and you did it.

The instructions state the following (pasted verbatim).

Quote

Required Evidence.

Below is a list of documents to submit with your Form N-400.

1. Photographs. Only applicants who reside overseas must provide two identical color photographs of yourself taken recently. [Explanatory text removed.]
2. Photocopy of Permanent Resident Card. Provide a photocopy of the front and back of your Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card). USCIS must be able to read the information on the photocopy. If you have lost your Form I-551, attach a photocopy of any other entry document or a photocopy of a receipt showing that you have filed Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card.
3. Photocopy of your Current Legal Marital Status Document. Provide a photocopy of your current marriage certificate, divorce, annulment decree, or death certificate of former spouse.

 

Supporting evidence is listed under the following section:

Just saying that the instructions don't literally instruct the applicant to mail in the supporting evidence.

Correct! but @Everything did not mention them, just the GC. I stated in my prior post that you have to attach at least the primary documents required. But with USCIS it is always is good to walk the extra mile.

@Everything mentions including the application form, the green card photocopy, and marriage certificate photocopy.

 

I'm in the same boat and am wondering if an applicant who brings the supporting evidence to the interview and didn't include it in the initial mailing can be approved on the spot or if the immigration officer has to sit down and review it separately, which would obviously add extra time to the overall process.

Do not worry about it. At this point, if you receive any letter asking for more information just follow the instructions. How long ago you did file?

I have a question. I only sent the basic application form with green card copy when I apply for N400.  I am worried about the officer won’t approve my case during the interview. Because they need take time to read and check all my support documents after interview.

From people’s interview experience. The interview usually takes less than 30 minuets and decide if it’s pass or not.

But there are so many support documents like tax return etc. for the officer to read and check during the interview time. 

 Does anybody has the same situation as mine? Thanks so much.

 

All I sent was a copy of the Front & Back of my GC and a copy of my marriage certificate, anything else was totally optional, 
I've been a resident since 2006, so my N-400 wasn't based on the 3 years, where more evidence may be required!
i don't think taking other evidence to the interview is a must, I think that is also optional!

@JULIANAv, I'm also an October filer (today is Day 90 for me) and have Baltimore as my field office. I have not received an interview letter yet. I filed online. Seems like our field office is slower in scheduling interviews than some others.
