Documents/evidences to upload for N-400

[Devguru 2026 0]

About to wrap up submitting N-400 online as an LPR (based on child of a naturalized us citizen parent) -  of more than 5 years.

 

On Evidence section the form asked for copy of:  

   a.  Green card - uploaded font and back

   b.  Marriage Cert (not sure why it asked - N-400 instructions say submit it only if application is marriage based; it is not);  I uploaded; shall I remove it; if it's not necessary?

 

On Additional Evidence sections form is asking: 

  a.   Children's birth certs (who were all born in the US);   (necessary to upload?)  I have uploaded

  b.   evidence of selective service registration  - I uploaded a copy of the cert - sounds normal

  c.   Kept asking additional documents be uploaded and didn't specify which ones.   Is it reminder or is there's a list of document I am required to upload the online forms known; and i don't?

 

Insights/clarifications will be appreciated!

Folks, no one sharing their knowledge/experience on this topic; could it be question not clear?   Or is it answered elsewhere?

If you have submitted all that you need to for your category then you are fine. I note you haven't uploaded your tax transcripts. I do not believe it is mandatory but most of us have done that and avoided RFE or questions at interview about tax returns 

 

Leave the marriage certificate on there .. they just ignore documents if they arent needed.. better on there than not 

 

It will continue to ask the reminder question. At some point you decide to ignore it and submit the application. You can go back into the application through your myuscis account.. and upload anything else using the “additional documents” under the documents tab for that case #

Ok, all understood;  thanks!

 

Regarding the taxes:  we mailed our taxes for 2021 in April 2022.   Still have not heard from IRS - with known pandemic delays from IRS.   should we upload taxes from 2020, 2019, 2018 instead;  OR can I upload 2021 copy, along with previous two years, knowing that we might get a response from IRS sometime soon?

Also, found this document on USCIS web site that seems to state that I do not have to upload anything other than copies of my green card for my type of case:
https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/M-477.pdf - 

the document is dated 2016 - not sure if still applies.

 

Nonetheless, I am leaning towards your value-able advise of submitting all I have so that we won't have to go through RFE etc - if USCIS would safely ignore the documents that do not applicable.

Upload the 3 most recent tax transcripts that you have now.  Take the 2021 tax transcript or return to the interview
