US Immigration from Wales

The family of a British woman detained in the US for three weeks because of a visa mix-up say she has left the immigration detention centre and are hopeful she is on her way home.

Rebecca Burke, 28, a graphic artist from Monmouthshire, was trying to cross from the US state of Washington into Canada when she was refused entry.

Canadian authorities told her to go back to the US and fill in new paperwork before returning.

She does not seem to have a visa, she was in the US on the Visa Waiver Programme and seems to have tried to enter Canada on a similar basis and was refused. Not sure what the new paperwork was.

Hello,

The date at which I may file my application under Form N-400 is coming up.

Apart from the following, is there any other information or evidence required? Such as personal photographs, endorsements (because they had to be done for filing for K-1 and residency for a bona fide application)?

According to USCIS in this link - Application for Naturalization | USCIS - a Form N-400 is to be submitted alongside the following:

• LPR Card/Green Card
• Marital status - copy of marriage certificate
• Moral character references (none of these apply to me)
• Evidence of filed tax return
  • My wife and I have recently filed jointly, but not yet confirmed on any taxes owed - would a receipt of the filing be sufficient?
• Continuous residence and physical presence
  • IRS tax transcripts
  • Bank statements
  • Passport stamps
  • Car registration and insurance
  • Rent payments
  • Work payslips
• Selective service is not applicable.
• Evidence of spouse's US citizenship status

Is that all? They seem to ask for a lot less than they did for K-1 and Green Card.

Thank you for your help!

Aaron.

Just out, not quite what I expected.

Hello,

If your child and wife live with you what documents are you meant to include for child support? Or do you simply not select the child support section for this on the N-400 application?
