Seeking Guidance for Upcoming Citizenship Interview

 Share

Greetings all,

I'm scheduled for a citizenship interview on Thursday, 14th, under the 3-year rule. The instructions in the letter I received include bringing:

  • The interview notice.
  • Alien Registration Card (green card).
  • Selective Service Registration evidence.
  • Passport and other entry-related documents to the U.S.
  • Marriage certificate.
  • Death or divorce proof for any previous marriages for me or my spouse (Not applicable to us as it's our first marriage).
  • My spouse's birth, naturalization certificate, or citizenship certificate.

I have gathered all these documents. I'm curious if there are additional items I should bring that aren't mentioned in the letter to be fully prepared.

For context, I submitted my N400 application online on 09/01/2023, and my interview is at the Indianapolis USCIS field office. I've already uploaded three years of tax documents, a copy of my green card, our marriage certificate, a copy of my wife's naturalization cert, copies of mine and my wife's driver's licenses, my Selective Service registration (though I was 26 when I got my green card), and four months of joint bank statements. Since receiving my green card, I've only traveled abroad twice, for 10 and 19 days, respectively.

Regarding our living situation, we don't have a current lease since it expired in December 2021. We've been on a month-to-month arrangement, which suits us as our landlord isn't keen on renewing the lease and has even reduced the rent. We have utility bills and other documents in both our names, and our bank statements reflect regular rent payments from our joint account.

Lastly, if anyone has any last-minute tips or advice to enhance our chances of approval, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help!

Bring whats on the letter , . hard copies of the documents submitted for the N400.. i also took the NOA i gad received from USCIS previously but that was just an abundance of caution !! Maybe the expired lease and a letter from the landlord attesting to the month by month arrangements 

 

and the correct answers to the civic test questions ! 😁
