3-year rule - Evidence question

 Share

Hi there,

 

I have a question regarding the evidence requested to file for N-400 under the 3 year rule. I have received my conditional green card in August 2019, my 10 year green card in December 2022 and I am ready to file for citizenship.

 

My evidence includes plenty of commingled finances proof (bank statements, credit card statements, tax returns, property tax, insurance cards etc). We also had a child together recently and I will be able to bring the birth certificate of my child during the interview.

 

I am also including utility bills in the evidence. During these 3 last years, we changed addresses 4 times - and for 2 of these addresses (where we stayed respectively 4 months and 1.5 months), I have no utility bill or document with both our names on it. These are 2 properties that my wife bought to flip them over (this is her job), and where we stayed while we rented our main residence (I also have the lease agreement for that). Would you foresee this as an issue for the N-400 interview? As I am able to provide multiple finance proof for these 3 years I am not really concerned, but I prefer to ask.

 

Thank you so much for your responses and help!

When did you become a Green card holder?

How long have you been married to a US citizen?

During our combo interview, the IO wanted to see evidence of both our names and common addresses on common documents like driver's licenses, car insurance, bank statements.

Interesting especially since you had a I751 combo interview.  Back when my wife interviewed for her N400, the IO had the I751 package (an inch or so thick) in front of her, we reviewed it briefly with her, and she did not ask to see any of the N400 interview evidence my wife brought.

Just an FYI, you do not need all that evidence to file the N400.  Unless applying from overseas, or as the member of or the spouse of a military member, you only need to supply a copy of your GC (front and back), and a copy of your current marriage certificate (reference link, page 10).  Many people when filing online also upload the required evidence to bring to the interview (reference link page 11), but you don't need to do that to apply.  You can upload it later, or just collect it to take to the interview.

 

Good Luck!
