Documents to be send ?! Help please

[VetsWife328 7]

Getting ready to file n 400 and confused about documents I need...

Permanent resident since October 20,2009 . Married to US Citizen since March 2009.

Do I need to send all the marriage related documents seeing that I'm a resident for more than 5 years?

Or do I just need the n 400 form, photographs and copy of Green Card ?! ( plus fees of course!)

Thanks for any advice

You have been here for over 5 years, so you should be eligible to file under the 5-year rule as well.

However, if you are filing on the basis of marriage, you will need to send a copy of the items listed on this

N-400 document checklist:

Good luck

Which that is exactly what is confusing me. Do I need to send all that or not?????

What do I need for the 5 year rule?

if you are applying on the basis of marriage, yes, you would need to send copies of all the documents listed

in that checklist. However, some of them might not apply to your specific case.

You would need to go over each item to determine what applies, and what doesn't.

For the 5 year rule, If you are filling out the form by yourself and your name has not changed since you you got your Green Card,

then you only need to send the first 3 items in that link.

However, you would want to do more research on which of the filing options (5-year or marriage) is best for you.

Even though I am married to the same man ( and that won't change) one of the reasons I waited for the 5 years to be over is so I wouldn't have to gather ####### loads of documents again.

I could since we have mountains of evidence that speak to the validity of our marriage but I don't have the nerve for it as I truly hate doing paperwork, lol.

If you are applying based on the 5 years residency, you will need 2 passport picture, N400, photocopy of your GC, and a check. That's it
