Hello,
I hope someone can help me with my question. I live in Florida, and got married to a US citizen in 2005. I obtained GC based on marriage in 2006, and then my regular (non conditional) GC two years later. Things unfortunately did not work out between my spouse and myself. I moved out of his apartment in August 2011 and we have been apart since then, but we are still legally married. I do not think we can work things out, and we will file for divorce eventually (question of money to file), but I would like to send out my N-400 and just get it done. Since I am still married, but not living together, and not applying based on 3 years of residence, could someone please tell me what exactly I need to include with my application? (other than application, photos, and fees) I am not sure about marriage certificate and taxes, what all I really need to submit. I will definitely bring all paperwork to the interview but that's for later, especially if divorce time-line goes faster that naturalization. Also, for taxes, if I send them with my application, can I get by with copies of 1040 and then bring transcripts to interview, or should I give transcripts in both cases? I am also afraid of how the officer is going to treat me because I won't be together with the US citizen. We genuinely tried and failed; I am not planning to run off with another man anything like that. We were both each other's first spouses with no previous marriages/divorces, and aside from a few 2 week trips to Canada throughout all this time, I've pretty much been in Florida the whole time.
