Yes, you can still send a copy of the expired green card. Make sure you send a copy of the NOA you got extending that green card for one year while you wait for processing.

1) Are you talking about this? (YES, one or each of the 4 listed items)

If you are applying for naturalization based on your marriage to a U.S. citizen, send the following four items:

1. Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for the last three years:
   • Birth certificate (if your spouse never lost citizenship since birth), or
   • Naturalization Certificate, or
   • Certificate of Citizenship, or
   • The inside of the front cover and signature page of your spouse's current U.S. passport, or
   • Form FS-240, "Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America," and
2. Your current marriage certificate, and
3. Proof of termination of all prior marriages of your spouse - divorce decree(s), annulment(s), or death certificate(s); and
4. Documents referring to you and your spouse:
   • Tax returns, bank accounts, leases, mortgages, or birth certificates of children, or
   • Internal Revenue Service (IRS) - certified copies of the income tax forms that you both filed for the past three years, or
   • An IRS tax return transcript for the last three years.

2) Yes you can submit a copy of your CR-Green-Card, even after it expires.

Time to update profile, you are filing for Naturalization NOT K-1 that was long ago. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...rCP&CODE=01

I read this to mean that you have to submit "1 to 4" not "any one of the 4".

from 1 to 4 connects with "and" in blue, so they are all you have to submit.

otherwise, "or" in red, just submit any one of them.

Yes, you can send Naturalization Cert OR Passport OR US Birth Cert OR Certificate of Citizenship OR FS-240. Note the ORs in the quoted text form USCIS. OR means one OR the other, NOT both or all.

Your profile now shows AOS Pending, DO you have a green-card? If so your status will be AOS Approved, or perhaps Lifting conditions.

A Green card is needed to be able to file for naturalization.

Having a timeline helps understand your immigrations status. http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=1321
