Congrats! Is it for removing conditions from your current green card?

I see. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your response! I will hope for the best. Just to clarify, it's ok to just print out PDF tax returns from software like TaxSlayer, etc? Do they serve as "tax return transcripts"?

Oh, ok. How long? I'm trying to also move out of the country in August or September, so I wonder if I should wait on changing my name then.. Also, my account has been saying estimated time is 7 months, but it said that in the beginning of January.. should I still expect the process to finish by the end of July? The interview is in May.. I filed for tax each year but just don't see tax return transcripts available directly from IRS. Is it ok to just print copy from Tax Slayer, etc? I thought I had to get something official for the past 5 years (and it is not the first 5 years of my residency, is it?).

Also, what type of transcripts should I get? I just went to IRS transcript website, and for immigration purpose, the page recommended I get tax return transcript instead of other types, but then it only has tax years 2020, 2021, and 2022 available. That's only three.. but tax account transcripts seem to have more than 3. Is this alright for naturalization?

Thank you for your reply, Olduser! What about the name change? If I'm still legally married at the time of the interview or at the oath, can I still go ahead and change my name back to my maiden name with USCIS?

Hi everyone, I have a couple questions. I've applied for naturalization and I'm going to have an interview soon. Everything seems to be going well so far, but my marriage is not. I've been married for 12 years and I've been living in the U.S. for almost 14 years, so I'm not worried about getting naturalized per se, but I was wondering, can I still request a name change? Even if we do decide to get a divorce, I'm not sure if it will be final and a divorce certificate will be ready before the interview or the oath (does oath come at a different time after the interview?), but I remember hearing that name change is very flexible at naturalization, so I'm curious.. And even though I applied for naturalization under the category of 5 years or more residency in the U.S., the letter about the interview lists only two options regarding what to bring after the general list of things to bring: "If applying for NATURALIZATION AS THE SPOUSE of a United States Citizen; your marriage certificate, proof of death or divorce for each prior marriage of yourself or spouse, your spouse's birth or naturalization certificate of citizenship" "If applying for NATURALIZATION as a member of the United States Armed Forces; your discharge certificate, or form DD214" I'm definitely not applying as a member of the U.S. Armed Forces. Should I bring my marriage certificate regardless of my situation at the time of the interview? Should I also bring tax returns from the past 5 years? Also, I thought that I needed to bring proof of 5 years of residency in the U.S., but now I don't see the requirement anywhere. Do I need copies of apartment leases from the past 5 years? Thank you in advance!
