Hello,
My citizenship interview day is getting close. One question. as far as documents to bring...

I got my green card through my past employer...Would I need to bring anything regarding my employment there to the interview? On my interview notice, and also the yellow documentation to bring notice, it never mentioned anything other than bringing the photo id and other usual stuff....

Note: After I got my green card I stayed almost a year with my employer who got me the green card.

Thanks
 
Usually it is not. So if you still keep your old paystubs etc, bring them in case.
Otherwise do not bother.

Your Green card and the other mentioned documents will do for the interview. The USCIS would have run checks on your employment background and then only processed your application. So I do not think that any documents regarding your employment are needed.

Wow. Really? I'm sure that USCIS has access to a great many databases should the need arise. But this is the first I've heard it suggested that USCIS routinely verifies someone's employment background.

Usually when it is necessary to actually verify someone's employment (eg for job or mortgage applications) the form asks for more detail than the N-400 asks for--for example, a contact name or phone number in HR. Since the N-400 asks for data only for the past five years, in some cases the GC sponsoring employer would not even need to be mentioned on the N-400.

If the data provided gives cause for suspicion, I'm sure USCIS can and does investigate further. But I've never gotten the sense that verifying all of someone's past employment is a routine area of investigation for USCIS in the N-400 process.
