Hi everybody-

I’m about to file my online n400 and have a question. I’m basing on being resident for 5 years. I have been divorced for two years but my 10year green card has been approved. Other than the greencard and divorce decree what kind of additional evidence should I have to submit? Since I don’t have to proof I’m married anymore. I’m not sure what else they would need!?

thank y’all! And good luck everyone!!

You can find more information on our REAL ID website. We hope to see you soon!

State of Texas started issuing Real IDs in October 2016, so I already have one. But thank you for the clarification, we were wondering what that star represents.

when you file under 5 year rule you don’t file based on marriage and don’t need any proof. You will be asked to upload your divorce decree to show dissolution of previous marriage. Besides that you only provide same documents everyone needs to submit (Greencard front & back, 3 years of tax transcript etc)

Any Newark NJ  filers here? My estimated completion time is 9 months (October 2020). Biometrics were scheduled, waiting for appointment letter to become available. Wondering how close Newark is currently to estimated completion time since so many field offices seem to be a lot faster than their estimates.

Thank you for your answer.. that’s what I’m asking..what, other than divorce decree and greencard, do I need to send them. Tax transcript and what else?

Are you filing online? The system tells you what you need to upload based on your responses. For me (divorced, re-married) they wanted divorce decree, marriage certificate (of current marriage), Greencard front & back. They didn’t specifically ask for taxes but I uploaded them anyhow since it’s needed at interview the latest.

Yes I filed online and it only asked for divorce decree and greencard. Then there was a window for additional evidence but it didn’t specify.And since I’m not remarried I wonder what additional evidence they would need. I submitted it now without adding anything else and will bring whatever to the interview I guess. Suggestions on what “additional evidence”  might be are very welcome  thank you.

Yep - under additional evidence I added the tax transcripts. That should be all

When you order transcripts on irs website you can choose immigration as purpose. Those are a very lean version of the records, with everything needed for USCIS. I read somewhere that submitting 1040 is not recommended since they’re super long, and no proof that taxes were actually paid (if you owe). Maybe others have other experience.
