US Citizen copies of Docs to be sent with Form n-400

[SN@5127 15]

Hi guys,

 

I think I finally have decided that I am going to apply for US Citizenship. I have a few questions for those they have knowledge/experience about it:

 

The questions are:

1) Do I have to send copies of my green card, my Canadian Passport with n-400

2) Do I have to send IRS (US) Tax returns with form n-400

3) If there are other copies of anything else I have to send with form n-400 

 

Sending copies for those is no problem but I don't want to overwhelm them with all of those photo copies - any suggestions please.

 

Thanks in advance

Sam

Yes

File online. Easier and it'll tell you what to submit

The N400 Required Evidence list is not very big.  If filing by mail, not in the military and not residing overseas you only have to provide a copy of your GC and marriage/divorce/annulment/death (former spouse) certificate (if married or single due to divorce, annulment or death of a spouse).  If filing online, most filers upload the documents that are listed to bring to interview.

 

Good Luck!

 

Required Evidence

Below is a list of documents to submit with your Form N-400.

 

1. Photographs. Only applicants who reside overseas must provide two identical color photographs of yourself taken recently. The photos must have a white to off-white background, be printed on thin paper with a glossy finish, and be unmounted and unretouched. Passport-style photos must be 2” x 2”. The photos must be in color with full face, frontal view on a white to off-white background. Head height should measure 1” to 1 3/8” from top of hair to bottom of chin, and eye height is between 1 1/8” to 1 3/8” from bottom of photo. Your head must be bare, unless contrary to your religious beliefs. Using a pencil or felt pen, lightly print your name and A-Number (if any) on the back of the photo.

 

2. Photocopy of Permanent Resident Card. Provide a photocopy of the front and back of your Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card). USCIS must be able to read the information on the photocopy. If you have lost your Form I-551, attach a photocopy of any other entry document or a photocopy of a receipt showing that you have filed Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card.

 

3. Photocopy of your Current Legal Marital Status Document. Provide a photocopy of your current marriage certificate, divorce, annulment decree, or death certificate of former spouse.

 

4. Documents for Military Personnel or Spouses of Military Personnel:

A. Form N-426 (Request for Certification of Military or Naval Service). If you are a current member of the U.S. Armed Forces, provide a completed and certified Form N-426. If you are separated from the military, provide an uncertified Form N-426.

B. Evidence of Military Service. If you ever served in the U.S. Armed Forces, provide a Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, DD Form 214, for all periods of service. If you are currently serving in an active duty status within the United States or abroad, you should submit a photocopy of your official military orders.

C. Spouses of Military Personnel have additional requirements. Refer to Naturalization Information for Military Personnel (M-599) for eligibility requirements. You can obtain this information on the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov/military.
