N-400 required documents

[Greencard-22 43]

Hey everyone, back again with another question. 
 

I’m gathering my documents for my N-400 based on the 3 years. What I have so far:

 

Letter explaining that we have a pending I751

Green card

Extension letter

Husband’s Passport

Marriage Certificate 

ID’s for both of us 

3 Years Tax Transcript 

Insurance cards 

12 joint Bank stmts (1 stmt for every 3 mths) 

Rental Insurance (3 years)

 

Now I have a question about our lease or lack thereof. Our place is month to month and not a lease agreement. It has been this way since we moved in. Can I provide copies of the cancelled checks for our rent payments for the past 3 years or maybe 1 stmt for every three months?
 

Our landlord had given us a notarized letter to use before. Don’t want to keep asking him for a new one if I don’t have too.

 

Can I use to same letter I did for the I-751 or can I do without one and just use the checks?

 

He usually makes it so difficult to get one so i would really like to avoid asking him 

We travelled last year. Do I need to submit a copy of my passport as well or just his which proves his citizenship? 

 

Last, did anyone include any credit card stmts? 
 

Thanks!!

One per quarter is fine.

Then don’t get it notarized.  Write up a simple statement for him to sign and date that says you’ve been renting month to month with no formal lease agreement since yyyy-mm-dd. Formal lease agreements aren’t notarized either IME.

Just  his proof of U.S. citizenship and the airline itineraries showing both names 
 

When was his passport issued?

 

Doesn’t he have a U.S.  birth certificate?

We did not.  Interview is happening this month. I am not expecting an RFE. Joint credit card accounts are unicorns.

It was issued in 2018. He was Naturalized as a kid. Should I provide his naturalization certificate as well?

That’s great! Hope it goes well and you get an approval right away.

Yes, that is what is needed, better than a passport. It shows how long he has been a US citizen.

You do realize that when applying for the N400, the required evidence is only a copy of the GC and a copy of your current marital status (marriage certificate, divorce decree, etc., not really sure what anyone submits here if they were never married, but that does not apply here) unless you are applying from overseas or as the spouse of a military member, or a current member of the military yourself.  The other evidence you are showing is material requested for the interview which can be uploaded anytime or simply just copied and taken to the interview.  

 

My point is don't hold up your application to get material only needed for the interview.

 

Good Luck!

If he has a naturalization certificate provide that instead of passport. 
 

It is unusual  for a person under the age of 18 to get a naturalization certificate. Do you perhaps mean a certificate of citizenship?

Lol. Yes, that’s it.

Some ISOs would RFE you for his a certificate of citizenship, and those take 2 years to get.

 

 You both owe his parents big thank you for having the consideration to the right thing for him.
