Hello,

I am preparing for my N400 application and found the following section in M477 document list:

If you have a dependent spouse or child(ren) who do not live with you, send:

Any court or government order to provide financial support; and

Evidence of your financial support (including evidence that you have complied with any court or government order), such as:

a. Cancelled checks;

b. Money and receipts;

c. A court or agency printout of child support payments;

d. Evidence of wage garnishments;

e. A letter from the parent or guardian who cares for your child(ren).

My wife and I just got married recently, she lives overseas.

Does the above section apply to us or is it only applicable for the spouse of a divorced couple?

Thanks in advance.

It does not apply to your current wife. Only if a court had ordered you to pay spousal and/or child support.

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 with a spouse, they call that alimony. As an applicant, if you are stuck with either alimony or child support, USCIS wants to know with proof, you are making those payments. Are you stuck with these payments?

No, I don't. We just want to be certain that it does not apply to us.

Thank you guys.
