I had few questions about documents to be sent based on 5 years residency:

Application + fee

copies of both sides of GC

copy of Driving license

copy of social security

2 passport size pictures

cover letter

3 years of tax transcripts

never been in trouble with my friends (cops) - No tickets at all

do it have to send my divorce papers ?

I am applying based on my own 5 years of residency why do I have to send my divorce paper I am single I will state it. Is that not enough, the reason I am asking is, because I don't want to go to the court ;) waiting in line to get a stupid paper saying I am divorced, have you seen anyone's file being turned back because they didn't send that paper?

Any other document that you think is missing?

hi

no need of social security

if you don't send the divorce papers now, the IO might request it at the interview, and anyway you always have to keep a copy for yourself

the taxes you don't need to send them now, you take your last 5 years of taxes, to the interview just in case they request them

you are sending too many things that aren't necessary

Refer to http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/article/attachments.pdf for a checklist of what you should send.

Since you are applying based on the 5-year rule, this is what you must send:

- Copy of both sides of your green card

- 2 identical photographs

- A check for the correct fee

In addition, since you have been married before, you should send a copy of your divorce decree.

Other documentation requirements may apply to you, please see the link above and run through everything to make sure you don't forget anything.

Your driver's license, social security card and tax transcripts are not necessary at this time (unless you took a trip of 6+ months outside of the US, then you need tax transcripts).

A cover letter is purely optional, that's up to you. I didn't send one.
