hi! please give me an advice
which one should I go for N-400 about applying for naturalization based on your marriage or 5 year?
I got my GC as married with my husband who is US citizen( born US) 1996~.
got my GC 1997.
now I am wondering which one is I should go???
Huracan ! thank you very much for your post.
I am going apply N-400 as 5years.less paper work is
Really you are gonna sacrifice 2 years of earlier Citizenship for having to copy maybe five additional documents, which takes a few minutes and one free phone call to the IRS to get your joint tax transcripts?????
hi!LolaLi thank you very much for your an advice.
>Either one you like. The 5 year route is best if you do not have many absences
I wonder if is ok that I had traveled total of 450days ( 13 trip total )
past 5 years.
about total 980days out side of USA since I got GC 1997.
all travel is just see my parent's and my old aunt's,
any trip never more than 6month ione trip or not total 6month out of USA)
a year.
> can prove your residency in the USA for the past 5 years. I say this, because it requires less paperwork during the process - such as marriage certificates, tax transcripts , etc that marriage based N-400s seem to require.
I can prove that I've been residence USA for the past 5years,
but I love less paper work
hi!Jojo72
thank you very much for your advice
yes! I am happily married and no ploblem to get all doc.
( but one paper work,it's take bit time to get Doc , I have to go get my proof of divorce paper to city office in my country,in any case I will get the proof od divorce paper before interview,)
>why wait 2 more years if you can already be done earlier then that
I am already in USA since 1996 when I married, I got my GC 1997.
so I've been in USA for about 12years with Lawful.
that's the why I was thinking which is more easy
But it is not ONLY for someone who isn't married to a US citizen. Those who have lived in the US with a green card for 5 years and have been married to a US citizen during that time can choose the 3-year or 5-year.>5 year is for someone who isnt married to a USA citizen.
Marriage-based N400 involves an additional hassle taking your spouse to the interview.
thank you very much for all of your help!
now I am getting confuse....
should I apply 3years or 5 year
I can get all document right now expect proof of divorce doc.
(I can get it right way if I go to city office in my country, but I can't go
right now.maybe after summer.... )
and bit getting worry about my trip,
I did read the M-476 well. I guess that I am ok to apply
but I might be misunderstanding something or ??
>5 year is for someone who isnt married to a USA citizen.
ummm so 3 years?
