File based on marriage to Citizen or Not ?

[KamranS 0]

My wife has had green card for 6-7 yrs now. She came to US on K3-visa married to US citizen.

Can she just file on her own and send in below 3 items, or does she need to file based on marriage to US citizen and provide all accompanying docs(marriage, license, tax docs, etc) ? I think she may have been resident in US long enough not to have to file based on marriage to US citizen. Is that correct ?

Thanks!

1. A photocopy of both sides of your Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as the Alien Registration Card or 'Green Card'). If you have lost the card, submit a photocopy of the receipt of your Form I-90, 'Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card'; and

2. Two identical color photographs, with your name and A-number written lightly in pencil on the back of each photo. For details about the photo requirements, see this specification. Do not wear eyeglasses or earrings for the photo. If your religion requires you to wear a head covering, your facial features must still be exposed in the photo for purposes of identification; and

3. A check or money order for the correct application fee and the biometric services fee for fingerprinting. (Applicants 75 years of age or older are exempted from fingerprinting and the biometrics services fee). Write your 'A-number' on the back of the check or money order.

It would be simpler for her to apply under the five year rule.

I agree, if you meet the 5 year requirement , file under that. No need to gather the extra paperwork when it is completely unnecessary. I have been a PR for about 12 years. Came in on K1, I am applying under the 5 year option.

Thanks. Do you know if any documentation, like tax docs, are requested at the interview ?
