If your applying based on 3 year marriage then yes you need to send the documents they request of you.

Just the documents listed by them in the instructions and the check list on the USCIS website.

No,

you don't need any documents regarding your marriage if you enclose the past 3 years' worth of tax transcripts. The key word here is "OR" but many people fail to deduct this properly from the VJ Guides.

It doesn't make any difference if you were married a million years, what counts is how long you have had your green card. If you held your green card for nearly five years, you can skip that marriage requirement requiring all that extra proof that you are living, buying legally documented stuff, and paying taxes together.

You can try printing out that document and showing that to your IO that income taxes are all you need for evidence. Not only that, but if like the most of us, the only way you received that green card was proving to the USCIS you are married to a US citizen for both the AOS and ROC stages, they will want to see all that evidence again for citizenship. Your passport to verify your tirps, and a whole bunch of other proof you are living together.

Only way you can skip all this repeated nonsense is to wait for the five year. That is when you only need your green card for proof, passport for trips, two passport photos they don't use anyway, application, and a big fat check.

I agree with NickD. It all depends on how long you've held your green card. if it's more that five years, apply based on the five years requirement.

When applying via marriage, you do have to be married for three years before you can even send in your N-400 application. That isn't very hard to meet, especially when it took over 13 months for my wife to get her first conditional green card. And even before you can apply for that green card when bringing a person over here, you already have to be married to that person.

So when it came time for her to apply for US citizenship, we were already married for almost four years, and that was applying at the earliest time.

If you do manage to get that green card the same day you got married, can't send in your application 90 days before that 3rd anniversary date. Have to wait those extra 90 plus days before you can even send in that application. Because you have to be married three years before you are permitted to even send that application off. But can send it in 90 days before your 3rd green card anniversary date.

If married three years at application time, make sure its less than 90 days before that 3rd green card anniversary date. If you send it in even 91 days before, will be rejected.
