N400 3-Year Eligibility

[PlusUltra 8]

Hello Visa Journey! Before I start, I would like to say thank you to all of you for all the help!

 

Evidences:

I only have the following and wondering if this will suffice: 2016, 2017, 2018 Income Tax Transcripts showing joint filing and our marriage certificate.

 

That's it. I'm sure that the naturalization won't be as stringent with evidences as the ROC but please correct me if I'm wrong.

The evidences for 3-year N-400 are identical with ROC, that's why many people choose 5-year N400.

The purpose of providing evidence of tax filing is that it is evidence of continuous residence.  The more evidence the better. Whether what you have is sufficient or not depends on the IO.

 

Why don't you have a 2019 Tax Transcript?

2019's is not a joint filing.

It doesn't have to be.

Is there a specific reason you filed MFS for 2019 tax year?

 

Just to verify: Do you still meet "Living in Marital Union" requirement for 3-year rule?

No, unfortunately. I am also wondering what a divorce can impact on the 5-year rule.

For 5-year rule, divorce is not an issue assuming it was a bonafide marriage.

Then you'll have to wait for 5-year rule: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-g-chapter-3

This provision requires that the spouse live in marital union with the citizen spouse during the entire period of 3 years before filing.
