Hi everyone, we're submitting the N-400 for my wife based on the 3 year rule. Her I-751 is currently pending and I wonder what evidence we will need to submit for N-400 application. I'm thinking of ONLY submitting evidence since the I-751 submission, should I include evidence before I-751 also?

 

Below is our list:

Attachment of expired green card

Marriage certificate

3 years tax return

Property taxes

Car insurance 

Home insurance

Health insurance

Sample utility bills

Sample bank statements

 

Thanks!

During our combo I-751/N-400 interview, the IO wanted to see marriage evidence from time of I-751 submission to date of interview.  That is what I had prepared for.  Your evidence looks good to me.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

When filing online for N400 alone, I submitted bare minimum (only the required documents e.g. taxes, marriage certificate, etc.).

I submitted a bunch of evidence when filing for I-751 and also had it ready for the interview itself (which ended up being waived).

Ditto on the N400 (only submitted bare minimum). For the I-751 we brought a few pieces of evidence, namely recent bills, medical insurance, joint account statements (officer did not ask for any of it). The officer had our entire I-751 case file on the table and simply stated "your I-751 case has already been looked at twice so I'm not going to waste any more time on it" and approved it on the spot then immediately proceeded with the N400 interview.
