N-400 application supplemental documents question

[854Turbo 20]

Hi all, I'm in the process of filing out the online N-400 application and I have a couple of questions. I'm married to a USC but I have now been a GC holder for over 5 years, so I will be applying under the general provision and requirements. Here are the questions:

1. I have my IRS tax transcripts ready to upload, however me and my spouse file our taxes "Married filing separate" (for student loan calculation purposes). Will this raise eyebrows? Should I also upload my spouse's tax transcripts? And wouldn't that just start a slippery slope - now upload residential leases, joint insurance, bills, etc...?

2. I have a minor traffic ticket that was dismissed by a judge (over Zoom court). I can print out a copy of the available online court records to show dismissed. How important is it to obtain a CERTIFIED court record? I'm not particularly thrilled by the idea of driving 1000 miles to the county court where it happened to just to get one stamp...

3. As it has been discussed many times, the list of Occupations on the N-400 application is rather limited. I'm a teacher. Should I just select the category "Counselors, Vocation/Education"? That seems to be the closest fit (and I know I can clarify my answer on the last page).

 

Thank you all!

1 - You can bring tax return transcripts to the interview. 

2 - Important

 

Here is my experience applying under 5 year rule while married to USC:

 

 

 

The difference is, I always filed taxes MFJ, and uploaded them as I filed N-400.

 

Good luck!

Thanks for sharing your experience! Yeah, I'm already proactively planning for questions regarding our marriage (even though I'm filing under the general provision), and I plan to bring evidence in case questions are raised. Cool to hear that you could do same day ceremony!

One more question regarding the Online application. I'm on the "Where have you lived" section and I'm running into an issue. I've lived at the same address for the past 6 years. I already listed it as my current address in the previous tab "Your contact information" and listed the date there. Do I now include it again in this next screen in "Where have you lived"? The issue is that the form requires a MM/DD/YY format in From and To boxes. I still live here presently, and will do so in the foreseeable future. Do I list a date in the future? Do I list today's date? Do I leave "To" blank? Or do I skip this section altogether since I already listed this address in the "Your contact information" ?

In my N-400 "where you lived" didn't list current address.

Meaning - you left the section blank?
