Aloha,

In supporting documentation for the N-400 (marriage related, one option is -

Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-certified copies of the income tax forms that you both filed for the past three years

Exactly how does a copy become "certified"??

Phone the IRS and get your transcripts from the last 3 yrs (this is what they mean by certified...came directly from the IRS) - they mail them to you in 7-10 business days and most of us have gotten them even faster.

Sorry - the exact number escapes me at the moment but someone here will chime in. You'll need both your SSN and your husband's when you phone.

The copies (one for every year) the IRS send to you are certified copies of their original records.

i submitted my (original) copies with my N-400 application, and just put copies of the copies into my own file.

Frankly, the I.O. will just spend 6 to 8 seconds on having a quick look at them, mostly checking that you filed jointly indeed. The whole marriage thing is not an issue anymore at the N-400 stage. Trust me.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

I think it may have been 4-5 seconds actually ;) JustBob is right - it's a formality honestly, my IO last Weds spent minimal time on my evidence (I think she was late for a smoke break)
