If you still have I-751 pending it's advisable to write a cover letter asking for combo interview. And even more importantly, include the copy of extension letter so I-751 case can be connected to N-400.

 

You can upload this letters in additional evidence section.

 

P.S what is the summary sheet fron IRS website? Download tax return transcripts for each year from IRS website and upload it.

 

Photos are great, but if you have boarding passes / reservations from each trip, that's even more valuable.

Thanks for the notes, are there are example cover letters I can find to see? Yes, the tax return transcript is what I meant. We asked for those in 2022 (2021 and 2022) when we were applying in January 2023 for the 751- so it says requesting date 2022. Do I need to re request? We do need to request for 2023 - I forgot the website. is there a chance you have it handy?

also, should we also include the 36 ext letter? (instead of just 48?) also, my scanner is forcing me to do one pdf side at a time (ex green card one pdf scanned for front, and a new pdf scanned for back) instead of a combined. i assume thats okay? so a unique pdf for front and back of all docs? (gc, ext letter) THANK YOU!

last question, for the docs you actually upload, do they have a naming convention they prefer? i am putting something like this: SeanPassportPage_CaitlinSean_2024? or if its our apt insurance maybe change to last years? trying to keep it consistent.

No need to overthink anything, just scan your docs and upload them. If they have any questions they will ask you at the interview. Likely they won't care about your evidence at al since you already sent a lot with your ROC. Just upload a few docs, you can bring more to the interview if you want to.
