Citizenship Interview Soon

[PostOakGuy 13]

So my wife's Citizenship interview is very soon and we were pleasantly surprised to hear this because her online account still shows an estimated case completion time of April 2020.  We were definitely not expecting her to be a citizen so quick because we live in Houston which has a high backlog.

 

The civics exam and english exam will be easy for my wife, but I wanted to know what my wife should take with her to her interview besides Drivers License, notice letter, and Green Card.  I've read post's in this forum before where people say that the n400 based off marriage and three year rule is like a "mini ROC" . Anything else we should be prepared for?

I had mine a couple of days ago, and took updated versions of everything I had originally included in my application: joint bank statements, joint tax return transcripts, anything else joint.

 

Also took:

green card

my wife

both our passports

both our drivers license

both our birth certificates

marriage certificate

 

I think that was about it - they didn’t really look at any of it

Good list to take all those documents as an insurance, but usually, IO checks diver license and GC.

Like CJKylie, I made an organized folder of all documents uploaded to my husband's application, and added any updates (i.e. new tax return).    While it's not required to do so, if they have any questions or need something that is missing from their file, you have it handy.

 

One thing we also did - one night before interview we went through the initial application with a fine tooth comb.  Even the most minor error/typo I put on a Corrections list, which my husband then handed to the officer at the start of the interview.
