N400 Interview day Tax Docs needed and other questions - advice needed

[G_One 10]

Hi All,

 

I have Naturalization Interview in next 4 days. I am applying for Naturalization based on 5 yr rule. Reading other's experiences I want to clarify about few Documents that I would need.

 

1) Divorce papers, do I need those ? (I was married after I got the Green Card in India, and got divorced after about a year. Also my Ex was an Indian never came to US. The only Divorce certificate that I had is in India right now at my sisters place, is not with me in US. I have its photo however)

 

2) 2020 Tax Papers, do I need to file taxes for 2020 and carry its papers ? I have 2019 tax filed and have the papers. I filed for N400 in Nov 2020 so 2020 did not end so I technically up to date with my taxes at that time of filing 

(I did not work much in 2020, just few months 3-4 months rest I was travelling out of US for few months, looking for full time jobs etc)

 

Pls advice, Thanks

You’re going to need to be up to date on taxes at the time of interview. When you go through the yes/no answers, your answers need to be accurate at the time of interview.  If you’ve traveled since, you need to update that. If you’ve committed a crime, you need to update that. In the same way, if you haven’t paid your latest taxes due, you have to answer correctly. If you didn’t earn enough and that’s why you haven’t filed, you have to say yes that you haven’t filed a return and explain why. 
 

You may be required to show any of the documents on this list, which includes divorce papers. Most people don’t seem to be asked but be prepared in case they do. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/M-477.pdf
