Items Required Questions

[timhber 0]

Hello,

My wife is filling out her N-400. I looked through the US Naturalization (N-400) Package Checklist and found the below information. Can you look at below list and let me know if we need to send all four items? Do we have to send anything for #3 since they don't applied to us. We have never been divorced or never been married before. For #1, can I send a copy of my current U.S passport or a copy of my U.S Certificate of Citizenship. Who do I make a check out to? Where do I mail the N-400 Application for Naturalization package to? Thank you!

If you are applying for naturalization on the basis of 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.

- Make the check for U.S. Department of Homeland Security

- Check page 5 in the N-400 instructions where to send your package. It depends on the state you are residing. The N-400 instructions are here: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/n-400instr.pdf

- For #1, photocopy of Certificate of Naturalization is sufficient.

- #3 does not apply to you, so you do not need to send anything

Re-read the instruction for N-400 and make sure you do not miss anything: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/n-400instr.pdf
