    gborghesi got a reaction from Comic in N-400 November 2019 Filers   
    I passed the naturalization interview yesterday and took the oath the same day. I feel relieved finally - it took a very long time, but it was worth waiting for it. Wish a very speedy processing to those of you that are still waiting - hopefully you’ll get some good news very soon!

    gborghesi reacted to J/G in Which documents to bring to N400 interview under 3 years rule   
    Hello, 
    Bring whatever documents you submitted along with the N400 form. If you submitted copies, bring the original to the interview. Also bring updated / most recent version of submitted documents (i.e. most recent tax, photos, etc.) when applicable. 
    Since your I751 was approved i don't think you need to bring anything related to it, but on the side of caution I would bring a copy of whatever submitted for I751. 
    I had a combo interview in LA, I was only asked if I have any additional documents during my I751 portion of the interview. My N400 was VERY easy and smooth. I was only asked the 6 civic questions, reading/writing test, the yes/no question, confirm the ID/contact detail, read the oath and that's it. 
    Good luck! You're almost done!
    J/G

    gborghesi got a reaction from Chocobo in RFIE on I-751 - Suggestions on which documents to send   
    Thanks to everybody for the advices / suggestions. I finished preparing the cover letter, which I am pasting below:
     
    Dear Sir / Madam,
     
    On April 30, 2021, I received a Request For Evidence (RFE) on Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. The RFE asks for evidence to show that I entered my marriage in good faith and not for immigration purposes. To satisfy the requests in the RFE, I am sending you the following evidence:
     
    Leases (in both mine and my petitioning spouse’s names) for the period of time between October 2015 and May 2021 showing joint occupancy of a common residence;
    Deed (in both mine and my petitioning spouse’s names) showing joint ownership (with right of survivorship) of our recently bought home;
    Copies of mine and my petitioning spouse’s driver’s licenses, showing that we resided at the same address over the years;
    Car purchase contract in both mine and my petitioning spouse’s names;
    DMV vehicle registration cards for purchased car showing both mine and my petitioning spouse’s names on it;
    401k documents showing my petitioning wife as the sole beneficiary;
    Federal and state tax returns with W-2 records for the tax years between 2017 and 2020;
    IRS tax transcripts for the tax years between 2017 and 2020;
    Joint health insurance tax documents for tax years 2019 and 2020;
    Joint cars insurance for the years between 2018 and 2021;
    Quarterly statements of joint bank account for the years between 2017 and 2021;
    Receipts showing travels made together during the time period between 2018 and 2020;
    Various pictures showing our lives as a married couple, covering the span of our marriage.

     
    I would also like provide the following commentary on the submitted evidence:
     
    Prior to 2019, me and my petitioning spouse had separate health insurances through our employers: joint health insurance documents are thus not available for years before 2019;
    On top of our shared bank account, me and my wife have also maintained separate bank accounts. The shared bank account has been used over the years for expenses such as paying off student loans and buying furniture.

     
    As instructed, the documents provided are copies of the original, and cover the period of time after I became a permanent resident of the United States of America. I am also submitting a copy of all pages of the RFE. 

     
    Thank you for the opportunity to correct the deficiencies of the petition.
     
    Sincerely,
     
    I have a few last minute questions, hope any of you can answer:
     
    - the RFE explicitly states that "the evidence should cover the period of time after you were admitted to the United States". What does this mean exactly? I interpret it as the time since I became a permanent resident, is that correct? Just to clarify, I entered the US with an H1-B visa and met my wife after one year of living in the States;
     
    - since we rented until recently, the only utility bill that I have is for gas/electricity (single provider) which is in my name only. My wife pays for the phone bill, but from what I understand this is not considered a utility, is that correct? The bills show the same address, so I could potentially include them. 
     
    Thanks again for any last minute advice!

    Thanks Ecaen87. I have Verizon bills under my wife name, and electricity bills under my name. Both are for the same address. Will include these as well
