Hi All,

This is a great forum. The information found in here is invaluable. I’m filing an application for citizenship (N-400) based on five year lawful resident requirement.

My two questions are:

1) The person in the application is divorced. Do I need to include marriage and divorce certificates in the application? Even if I’m filing based on the five year permanent residency requirement?

2) I read in the instructions that if you are requesting citizenship based on marriage after 3 years you have to include tax returns. Do I need to include tax return for the last five years if the application is based on the five year permanent residency requirement? I did not find this answer in the forum or the instructions for the form.

Thank you so much for your help

Hi all,

I need some help from those of you that recently submitted this form. I keep getting conflicting information about this topic. Do I need to include speeding tickets in the N-400 form? Thank you for your help! =)

16. Have you ever been arrested, cited or detained by any law enforcement officer

(including USCIS or former INS and military officers) for any reason?

She recevied the greencard throgh her ex husband who was a US citizen. But she is no longer with him now, they divorced a year ago.

Hi all,

I’m helping a good friend file her N-400 and need some help. In the form there is a question about her work history. She has been working for the same company for 15 years. She came to the US as a student and started working with the company while she had a work permit. Later the work permit expired and she remained working without a permit. She married a US citizen and received her permanent green card 5 years ago. The marriage didn’t work and she is divorced now. Is she going to be questioned why the date that she started working is before she became a legal resident? If so is this going to be a problem? Would you recommend seeking a lawyer due to this issue?

I’ve read that if work illegally and marry a US citizen, you are forgiven.

Please advice =)
