hi,

i'm helping my aunt fill out and apply for citizenship(n400). i have a question though. does she have to send any kind of evidence other than just copies of green card and a couple pics? i read the guide and it doesn't mention anything. she's been a PR since 07/15/04 is still married to her USC husband one and only marriage, they have moved a lot though. does she need to send in proof of residence or bring it to the interview? or anything else at all? she is applying for being a PR for 5 years. she didn't know she could apply at 3 years.

any help would be greatly appreciated. TY

By N400, all the hard work has been done. Assuming your aunt has not committed any crimes or done anything else fishy, all you need to do is fill out the from, send in the 2 pics and a copy of the card. See the instructions to the form here: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/N-400ins.pdf

Good idea to send tax returns also.

If she's eligible to check box 2A (been in the US with her green card for five years), then she should check that instead of box 2B. If she checks box 2A, her marriage is not needed for the naturalization process, so she does not need to provide any evidence relating to the bona fide nature of her marriage.

See the "Document Checklist" at the back of the M-476 (get the M-476 from the USCIS website, or google for it). It sounds likely that she only needs to send the N-400, her passport-style photos, and a photocopy of the front and rear of her green card. The document checklist contains a list of other things that might be needed, but each one is preceed by a condition, like "if you are applying based on..." , or "if you answered yes to...". Read the whole document checklist and see if any of the extra items are required for her particular case.
