Documents needed for N400 Naturalization Interview

[SMUSA 0]

Hello,

 

Appearing for N400 Naturalization Interview very soon. While there is a list of documents mentioned on USCIS website, wanted to seek help to confirm the set of documents needed, and for Copies; do we need to notarize them?

 

Anything else to keep in mind based on recent experience?

 

Thank you in advance.

Depends on what your case is... 3 year rule vs 5 year rule, current marital status, how many time you and spouse were married, whether you have kids, whether you had any criminal charges or citations etc etc.

 

For example, somebody who got GC through diversity lottery and was never married, applying on 5 year rule wouldn't need marriage certificate or bank statements VS somebody applying based on marriage to US citizen who would need those.

 

Another example, somebody who never had a speeding ticket has nothing to bring VS somebody who had has to bring paperwork related to paying fines or how else case was resolved.

 

Somebody who never had kids, has nothing to bring regarding them. Somebody who has them now should bring birth certificates. Somebody who has kids living with ex spouse should bring evidence of paying child support.

 

I hope you get the idea.

Thank you for taking time and responding. Much appreciated.

 

Mine is 5+ years completion case, both my wife and I are appearing for interview. My wife's interview is next week. In her application, the spouse details are not showing, but I got clarification that those are not needed when you spouse itself in on Green Card. The interview letter has mention about bringing all documents as mentioned in the interview letter or uploaded with the application. The question is: do I need the Copies to be notarized? Thank you

Again, no. My answer will remain the same no matter how many times it's asked 😃

In your case, make sure to bring certified copies of marriage certificate (you get them from county clerk).

 

If any of you had divorces, make sure to bring divorce decrees too.
