I am guessing until you've been a resident in your location 3 months? How does on prove that? New Drivers License I suppose?

You are eligible to apply after 3 months of living in the same residence (that gets serviced by the same locale office). Even if the interview occurs post that mark, you will still be denied since you applied prior to your 3 months. This is what happened in your case as I understand it.

You are able to apply again now since you have been living at that location for more than 3 months... however, I think you need to go through the entire process again and pay the fees again.

Some of the ways to prove it is to show lease agreements that state when you became a tenante there. Another way to do so is by including your change of address form and it will indicate when you filled it. Of course, there are others such as utilities, statements, etc... that are not as definitive since it is a monthly time frame and not a particular day...

Let me know if I'm wrong, but does the 3-month rule come into effect if/when USCIS sees you applied for a K1 visa at one location previously and now apply for N-400 at a different one? I don't recall in the list of requirements having to provide local taxes, mortgage/lease documents, driver's license, utility form or any other document to support the 3-month requirement.

If I understand your question correctly, then the answer is no. Each time you move residence, you need to file an AR-11 address Change with USCIS. However, how the 3 months are calculated is based on when you physically moved.

For example, we moved from CA to TX when I was eligible to apply for citizenship... however, since I moved, I had to wait 3 months before I was able to apply in TX, although I was technically eligible the entire 3 months to apply.

HTH

Adding:You are also correct about not required to provide documentation for the there months, but if the IO wants to verify, they may ask for some documentation.

MY wife and I submitted address changes AR-11 for both of us along with a small list of things... IRS taxes, and bank statements (I think)

Good point. It sounds from your response that the 3-month rule only applies to when you change residence and have to file the AR-11. In other words, if you don't move (and file the AR-11), then you do not have to provide documents supporting that you live in the state for 3 months.

That's correct.

If you have been living at the same place for a long time, then what I would recommend is providing the most recent copies of what you are going to submit... but IRS returns need to be for the past 3 years if based on marriage.
