Hello everyone,

 

I hope you can help me answer my situation.

 

I was married to a US citizen 12/2013 and got my green card 04/2014. We filed divorce November or December 2014. The divorce was final 06/2015. I didn't want to get the divorce but life happened and people grew apart. I filed for my 10 years green card in 06/2015 and got my 10 years green card 10/2015. Can I apply for my US citizenship next year 01/2019 (90 days before 04/2014 based on the 5 years rule)? If so, what do I need to submit to the USCIS beside filling out form N-400? Do I still need to submit all the shared documents and pictures from my previous marriage? Or Do I only need to submit my tax return and the divorce paper? I am not sure what to submit in regards to this situation. Has anybody in the same boat?

 

Please advise!

 

Thank you in advance! :)
