Filing under 3 year rule, what document to send

[VFittipaldi 30]

Hi, we will be filing for my wife to get a citizenship and we want to do it under the 3 year rule so we have to submit a lot of evidence. Please help with what documents to send also we will try to apply online which i have never done before, has anyone had any experience with this also? Do you upload pdf files of evidence when you are applying?

These are the evidence documents we want to include, your input is appreciated. Thank you. 

Marriage certificate

Citizenship Certificate

Birth certificate for our child

IRS Tax transcripts(by the way the IRS now only includes the last 4 characters of the SSN and first 4 of the last name and first 6 of the address so most of the name infor on the transcripts in blank out)

Car registration/insurance

Rental agreement

Bank statements 

Utilities(electric, water, gas)

 

Thank you.

My wife filed under the 3 year rule and we only submitted the required evidence outlined in the N400 instructions (page 10) which consisted of the marriage certificate and copy of the I551 GC (item 1 and 4 did not apply to us).  We took all the other documents with us to the Interview and she had no issues.

 

That being said, you can certainly include everything on your list, but make sure you include a copy of the GC which was not on your list.  Btw, have you also filed for the ROC?  

 

Good Luck!

If applying online, your documents can be uploaded in PDF, JPEG, MSWord, and a couple of other formats.

 

As you go through the application online, it will prompt you to upload specific required documents depending on how you answer certain questions (for example, if you answer "yes" to the criminal history part, you will be prompted to upload relating court documents...if you answer "yes" to specific marriage-related questions---since you are applying under the 3-year rule----it will prompt you to upload final divorce decrees from any past marriages).

From OP's ROC timeline, it looks like it was approved on "2018-10-22": https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=177608

Bank statement, car insurance , utility bills etc are over-killed.  You may take those during interview.

It seems like it i see that. We sent so much stuff for the ROC that i thought i need the same stuff for the N400

Our online filing seemed to speed everything up. Applied for naturalization online in March.  Interviewed in July. Husband became a citizen in September...all 2018.  So, if we did it again, we'd still choose online filing.  It also seems to reduce the amount of lost/missing documents.

I know what you mean.  When my wife filed we thought the same thing, but reading the instructions I was amazed at how little required documents were required.  We only sent in what was asked for, and since you guys have already completed the ROC, I wouldn’t worry about all the commingling and relationship stuff.

 

Good Luck!

I am trying to order our tax transcripts my husband is the head of the house hold and he is the one applying for us citizenship .. Each time we order them the last name is showing mine .. Why isnt it coming with my husbands last name ? We prefer that bcs he is applying for the N 400 and im a us citizen

I always hear that, but I think it is still office dependent.  My wife filed in January, had her interview in March and her Oath in June and she filed paper.  Doing it again, I would probably chose online, but I am not sure that it really matters.

I am not sure. I know only the last name of the head of the household shows up and than the SSN for each person shows on the form so they still see that the two of you are on there

Tax transcripts are not required to file the N400.  

 

Good Luck, and as a suggestion, you should probably ask this question as a separate thread to get more responses.
