Today i had my citizenship interview in LA office , i applied based on marriage, the officer first test me on the civic questions and i passed it and then she went over my application and asked me about my visits to my country which was 4 times after i got my greencard. None of these trips was with my wife and i explained that she couldn't go with me because of her work and she had workshops but i told the officer that she went one time by herself and visit my family overseas. the officer didn't ask me to show her any document that i brought with me and at the end she printed out a form asking for more documents to be mailed to her and then she will make a decision. the officer wants to see bank account information in my name only and bank information in my wife's name only which is not a joint account and she wants to see travel Itineraries of my trips outside the US. she didn't ask to see my passport which has all the dates stamped on it.

is that normal? what shall i suppose to send her more... your help is really appreciated.

I would show her anything that is joint. Perhaps joint credit cards, car insurance, health insurance, joint ownership on vehicles. Once you send that in you should be fine. Perhaps there are others out there that have gone through this, and could shed some light.

Best of Luck,

That has to be a first, sure you heard that right? Wife's interviewer wanted to see nothing but joint, joint, joint in just about everything.

I agree with Nick. That has to be the first time I have heard the USCIS asking for single accounts and not joint accounts. :wacko: I would double check that.

individual bank account doesn't make sense to me, but i heard from a lawyer that the are opening a lot of new local offices and the people there don't have that experience.

It sure doesn't. We don't have any individual accounts. What do you do in that case? Open them? Lol.. sounds to me like the oficer suspects the relationship is bogus.
