Family based green card applying for citizenship

[Indy Sab 174]

Hello everyone! My grandma is 82 years old and she got her green card through my aunt (her daughter) that was like 10 years ago! We are now helping her to become a US citizen! The requirements that i read are all based on green card holders married to US citizen, but we are confused and don’t know what documents to attach to her application! Could anyone please guide me? Thank you!

Have you checked the USCIS website? They have helpful documents with instructions and a checklist of attachments:

 

https://www.uscis.gov/n-400

 

The basics are a copy of the front and back of her green card and payment.  Other attachments depend on if she uses a lawyer, if her name has changed, if she's been arrested or convicted of a crime, if she's paid her taxes as required, and a bunch of other things all listed on the document checklist. 

 

You can also file online, which makes the process a lot easier - the form will give you error messages if you forget to fill out required fields.

If you start putting information on your N-400 application, the online submission portal will direct you to which documents will be needed for submission. YOu don't have to finish your application in one go. The data that you already put down will be saved unless you forget to do some changes to it every 30 days.

 

As mentioned above, for the simplest of N-400 applications based on 5-yr residency (and where gc was not acquired through marriage), the online portal will only require you to submit the front and back of the gc and proof of residence (e.g., drivers license). Tax transcripts during the interview may/may not be asked so bring those anyway.
