Filing for Naturalization After Divorce

[Rocking Tamandua 0]

Hi there,

 

I was married for about 5 and half years and I have my permanent GC, I recently applied for citizenship under the 5-year rule. I was wondering when my interview comes around, what required documents will I have to take with me to the interview. Will I be questioned about my previous marriage, would I be required to take any documents related to my previous marriage? Has anyone on this website been in such a situation? Please share your experiences and suggestions. Thanks 

 

P.S I don't have any overdue taxes, No criminal record and no international travels exceeding 180 days within the statutory period of 5 years.

Take with you your green card and your Tax Return Transcript. The interviewer might ask you about your marital status. Applying under 5 year rule does not require much documents. I applied under 3 year rule but during my interview date I am 5 years and 1 week LPR. The interviewer did not ask  any more  documents pertaining to my marriage to USC though I am well prepared. He just asked me my green card. Just in case bring all the documents you think will be asked on your interview. Better you have it than to be sorry. We don't know what will come up on your interview. It is still depend on the interviewer.

 

God bless

I am a divorced former CR1 beneficiary, during my naturalization application I provided my divorce decree from my first wife (the one that petitioned for me)

 

I was asked nothing about that marriage beyond how many times I had been married total.
