Hello,

I've been a lurker for a while and this is my first post. please forgive me if I am just beating an old nail on the head over and over again.

My info:

I am a GC since 97, but didn't technically fully move until 2003 since i was a minor at the time.

- Went to University in the states 03-07 - where i worked all throughout and filed taxes with an US address (didn't make enough to pay taxes)

- Then went to an off shore medical school from 08-10 (i would return for 2-3 weeks every 3.5-4 months) (continued to file taxes, BUT my parents had since returned to Canada and my father was filing them on my behalf from there, with a canadian address... after consulting a lawyer i had my taxes "re-filed" with an US address for the past 5 years)

- Filed for citizenship January 2013, just received notice of my interview date for end of May (they requested i bring my drivers license)

So i'm a bit nervous for my interview and trying to find out all the information I can on how to be successful.

What documents should i bring (tax receipts, dmv records, university transcripts, etc.)?

How far back should these documents go?

What questions should i be prepared for?

How should i dress? (i know its an interview but i don't want to over do it)

Any other info would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advanced!

Bring tax transcripts for at least three years.

Add W2s for your job if you have one. Current year is sufficient.

Your transcripts from university are also not a bad idea. I'd do for the period you were enrolled.

Add travel itineraries or receipts if you left the US after applying, for trips of 24 hours+.

Photocopy all your identification like drivers license, passport, green card, translations if necessary.

Might want to bring something proving your address, like lease documents, to show attachment to place.

Dress like you would for a job interview, slacks and button down shirt and jacket or a nice sweater for a man; suit for either gender; conservative attire for women.
