    As far as my wifes speeding ticket goes will a printout from the Wisconsin circuit court website showing the details of the case and showing that the fine was paid be sufficient for now or will this result in an RFE requesting certified court records? The courthouse that I would have to go to to get certified records is not close to where we live and I dont think I'm gonna be able to make it there this week. But we want to get the N400 submitted as soon as possible. Should we just submit a printout then have my wife take the certified records to her interview?

    So here is the list of documents we plan on submitting. Let me know if I'm missing something or dont need to submit something on the list: -marriage certificate (for proof of name change) - children's birth certificates -wifes birth certificate (is this needed?) -my birth certificate (is this needed?) -wifes green card -court records regarding speeding ticket -5 years of tax transcripts -proof of residency -documentation of our trip to the Philippines last year Anything I'm missing? As soon as my wife picks up the court documents and our daughters birth certificate we would like to get this submitted.

    You should have seen what we sent in for the I-130. We way overdid it but at least we were confident we didnt ommit anything.

    One more question. My wife and I traveled outside the US for about a month last year which I documented on the form. Do I need to submit any evidence of this?
  6. jg121783
    I was confused about which question to answer yes to and which to answer no to but that clears it up. It was just a speeding ticket which is civil in Wisconsin and only a $225 fine. I'm gonna call the court to see about getting a certified court record of the charges and penalties and something saying all fines have been paid. I guess the only question I have left now is what we should submit for additional evidence. I will send our tax transcripts (how many years is enough?). Other than that is there anything else we should send?

    My wife and I have 2 children together and she has a son (my step son). All 3 of them live with us and are supported by us. The only questions I am seeing about the children are do they live with her and does she support them. Both questions are answered yes. I looked back at the application and cant see anywhere where we may have accidentally selected an answer that prompts them to ask for evidence of child support. I think maybe I will type up a short letter explaining that my wife has no child support obligations and we are unsure why the application is asking for evidence of child support. I will be calling the court house today to see about getting certified records of her speeding ticket. That should be the only document holding us back from completing the application and getting it submitted which I hope to do by the end of the week. So if I understand correctly we should be submitting tax returns under additional evidence (to prove we filed and paid?). Considering we arent applying under the marriage rule is there any other evidence we should submit?

    I forgot to mention she will be applying under the 5 year rule and not the 3 year marriage rule. At the end of the application it is asking for a marriage certificate to confirm her name change, a copy of her green card, evidence of paid child support (not sure why this is being asked for, should we just skip it?) And additional evidence. Since we are applying under the 5 year rule we dont need evidence related to our marriage correct? Is there anything else we should include? As far as the traffic ticket goes I'm seeing multiple sources say that if it was under $500 it doesn't need to be included. However going through the rest of the immigration process we have learned that too much documentation is better than not enough so I think were gonna include it anyways. It looks like if we do so we need to upload certified copies of everything from the court. What documents exactly do we need? Also there seems to be two questions about her criminal record that I quoted above that seem to be asking the same thing. Which one do we answer yes to or should we answer yes to both?
  9. jg121783
    Also under "additional evidence" is there anything else we should include?
  10. jg121783
    Another question. This comes up in the evidence section: My wife doesn't pay (nor is she required to) child or spousal support. Why is this coming up in the evidence section? Did we answer a question wrong somewhere? Should we jus leave it empty?
  11. jg121783 started following N400 - choosing between 3 year or 5 year rule? and Questions about online N400
  12. jg121783
    I am currently working on my wife's N400 and came across a couple questions I am unsure how to answer. Here are the two questions I am stuck on: And: My wife received a speeding ticket a couple years ago (under $500). Does this have to be disclosed and which question do we answer yes to if so? I may have more questions as we get further into the application which I will post on this thread but that is where we are stuck right now.

    I am doing the online application right now. Should I select "General Provision" for the type of naturalization?
  14. jg121783
    My wife and I are starting her N400 now and she has been here over 5 years now. So if I am understanding the comments in this post correctly we should be filing under the 5 year rule which will make things easier for us? Does this mean we wouldn't have to submit evidence regarding our marriage (we have plenty just don't want to deal with the extra paperwork if not needed)?
  15. jg121783
    He has been a permanent resident well over 5 years now so that part shouldn't be an issue. So basically our best option right now is get my wife's application in ASAP and hope we get lucky and if not proceed from there. We should have started the naturalization process sooner but ROC took forever and I was unaware that I could start naturalization in the middle of that process. Then after ROC we kind of put it off because we were in a tough financial situation for a while. I was not aware until recently that my wife had to be naturalized before my step son turned 18 in order for him to derive citizenship from her or we would have made this a higher priority.
  16. jg121783
    So considering average processing times it is likely he will have to apply on his own. Can we start that process now or do we have to wait until he is 18?
