Submitting N400 need help, please!

[Love Bird 1]

I am a LPR. Very close to apply for my USC. My wife and daughter lives in Bangladesh. I have applied for them in 2004 and their case is already completed at NVC on Feb 11th 2009. I called NVC about the case and they told me they are waiting on visa number to be available. Ment by in few weeks I will qualify to apply for my USC. I need to know what are the documents I need to send with my N400 application. Please help me with the information. Since my wife lives in Bangladesh we do not have any joint insurance. But we do have a joint bank account over in Bangladesh. I filed my tax return as " Married filing seperately" since my wife does not have a social security number. But I have applied for a ITIN number for my wife last time I filed my return. Please provide suggestions and idea to get my USC certificate at the quickest possible time. I am tired of waiting. Thanks.

Since you're not filing as a LPR married to a US citizen, you don't have to provide evidence like joint bank accounts etc. to receive your citizenship (you might have to prove the validity of your marriage for your wife's visa though). Just send in the papers you need as a LPR after 5 years of permanent residency which might include your tax returns, no matter if you filed jointly or separately. And make sure you prove that you provided for your wife and daughter in Bangladesh financially.

Good luck to you! That's a long time to be apart.
