Happy new year! This forum is so helpful. I am getting ready to submit my N400 online application. Here is my summary: Married for 10 years to a US citizen ( born here), have one baby, both work full time and I have a 10-year green card. Due to my spouse's job, we both were out of the US for 2 years for which I filed a reentry permission. we both have been back in the US now for over 4 years. I am applying based on 3 years of being married to a US citizen. Our rentals are shown in our tax returns is that enough or do I need to send them our 1099 for each property? We have owned our house for 10 years how do I show my mortgage history? For bank statements is there a way to get a compressed 3-year statement? I am nervous that with the large files, I might not be able to upload everything. Thanks so much for your help in advance.

I have been married to a US citizen since 2012 and have been living together, both working full-time, filing taxes together, and have a family, etc. We both do international work so often travel for work. I was out of the country between 2018 -2020 for my spouse's job and applied for 1-131 before I went abroad. I didn't know even with 1-131 my time out of the country would affect my citizenship ( so stupid of me!!). Now that I am back in the US for over 3 years I want to submit my naturalization application. When I take the online quiz it tells me I don't qualify for citizenship as I was out of the country however the entire 11 years I have filed my taxes (and been happily married). Someone suggested I write a cover letter explaining my situation and apply. Should I send all my 11-year tax returns? I would appreciate advice on how best to navigate this. Thanks much

Looking for some insights. Been married to a US citizen since 2012 and have been living together, both working, filing taxes together, and have a family, etc. I was out of the country between 2018 -2020 for my spouse's job and applied for 1-131 before I went abroad. I didn't know even with 1-131 my time out of the country would affect my citizenship. Now that I am back in the US over 3 years I want to submit my naturalization application. Unfortunately, someone stole my bag with my green card in it and now I am debating what is the best course of action here. Should I apply for a replacement green card or apply for citizenship? I have filed a police report. Thanks much

OldUser- when I tried to apply online the system would not let me open the forum tried over 10 times. Kept on giving me an error. Yes, we filled joint taxes since I moved here and while away for his job I applied for a reentry permit. The reason I am finally applying for citizenship is we want to move abroad again and don't want to deal with GC hassle plus my 10-year card expires end of 2026.

@African Zealot- when I left for two years I got a reentry permit without which I wouldn't have been allowed back in. Thunderbolt- yes I paid taxes

Thanks, Carmel34, I have had my GC for 10 years! I meet all the above criteria. So helpful. Thanks

Hi OldUser- Yes, my spouse is a US citizen we have been living together since I moved here, have a baby together, and were out of the country for his work. I returned in Aug 2020. We will be leaving the country soon and I want to apply for naturalization before we do.

Good day! I have been married to a US Citizen since 2011 and finally thinking about naturalization. Between 2018-2020 we were out of the country and I have been back in the US over 3 years now. My understanding is if one is married to a US citizen for 3 years they can apply. In my case, the clock restarted when I returned in 2020. Curious why the online quiz says I am not eligible. Would appreciate any insights. Thanks

Thank you, no it was via the World Bank. Any idea how can I find out if it qualifies as diplomatic posting abroad? How do I check what my status while abrod was? The assignment was via the World Bank.

Thank you! I will wait then. No problem with all the evidence needed. Apprecitate your help

I returned back Oct 2020!

Thanks, i did break residence when I was abord for 2 years but for a re-entry permit (Form I-131) do you think this weill be a problem?
