Why would you think that you can decide what you can bring to interview. Immigration is not a right. You have to provide what they ask. Just provide all joint docs they r asking and you will be just fine.

I’m just feeling disappointed especially when I thought the journey came to the end but now I even need to wait longer. You should know better once you get the rfe, the process will even take longer to be done and at this point, I will never know what happen after. If they have listed out those documents on the letter they sent to us, of course I would have bring them but it didn’t shown on the letter at all. It just out of no way, the officer pulled out the list and said I should bring all those documents (based on 3 years marriage) on the letter.

It’s a very personal decision, but I am currently processing for N400 and still going home to visit my parents in August. 

 

If the process is complete by then, I’ll fly as an American citizen. 

If it is not, I’ll fly as a green card holder and maybe even postpone my interview/oath. 

 

Do you think you could do that, too?

 

I’m sorry they asked for more evidence. Hopefully it gets resolved quickly for you. 

I never think about it. Can I still use my original passport to fly out if the process complete by then but without the US passport? How can I prove I’m a citizen? with the oath certificate?

If I can go back this summer, of course it will be great. Maybe I should just convince my husband to book the tickets no matter what happens. I haven’t been back there for long time. :(

If you are a citizen, you MUST fly out of the country and back in with a US passport. You would likely need at least a week to get your passport done, even if you pay the expedite fee. 

 

If you have passed the interview, but not taken the oath, you are NOT a US citizen yet and can fly on your old passport + green card combo.

 

That’s what I figure will happen to my trip this summer. I will likely have the interview by then, but not the oath so I’ll just fly like before and then do the oath after my trip.

Thanks for the info. It helps a lot. I don’t think the oath will happens soon because of the RFE. I might just fly out with my green card and it will be easier for me because my country not allow to have dual citizenship.

As lvy. said, absolutely you can travel with your non-US passport beside your valid green card. Just make sure that your trip won't affect your RFE and you will travel and come back into US before your oath date. 

Good luck.

I think a lot of the people filing under the 3 year rule lately are forgetting that you must provide evidence like you did for ROC.  It is one of the reasons we decided to go with the 5 year rule.

 

Did you not realize that when you filed, or where you misled by some guide as to the differences between the 3 and 5 year filings?

 

3/2/18  E-filed N-400 under 5 year rule

3/26/18 Biometrics

7/2019-12/2019 (Yes, 16- 21 months) Estimated time to interview MSP office.

In my case I provided on going relationship evidence that includes taxes, insurance, credit cards, 401K, children, utilities, bank accounts etc. at the time of application. 

 

HOWEVER, on the interview letter they did not mention anything about bringing anything but our spouses birth certificate and originals for any prior marriage paperwork. Nothing about Taxes or more evidence, or vacation pictures etc. So to throw that at the time of interview seemed out of left field.

We'll plan on bringing the original documents (bills and whatnot) presented in the N-400 application and all new ones since then. Other than tax transcripts, is there any reason we would need to bring documents from our Adjustment of Status or Removal of Conditions period?

Might as well to be on the safe side.

Yes you should. Otherwise will be just like me, waiting for the RFE letter to come. I don’t think you need to bring any documents from removal of condition or adjustment of status. This is N400, they won’t ask for those two processes.
