Keys for naturalization Interview

Your naturalization interview is a crucial step towards becoming a US citizen. To ensure a smooth process, bring the following documents:

Essential Documents:

Appointment Notice (Form N-445): This confirms your interview date, time, and location.
Permanent Resident Card (Green Card): Present the original and a photocopy of both sides of your current green card.
Passport: Bring your current passport and a photocopy of the biographic page (the page with your photo and information).
State ID (Optional): Include your state-issued identification card or driver's license, if applicable.

Travel Documents (if applicable): Bring any travel documents (boarding passes, itineraries) if you've traveled outside the US since becoming a permanent resident.
Selective Service Registration (Males 18-26): Males between 18 and 26 must show proof of Selective Service registration (not applicable to females or those exempt).
Tax Documents: Provide copies of your last five years' tax returns (IRS Form 1040) or an explanation if you weren't required to file.
Specific Requirements: Include any additional documents mentioned in your interview notice or application, like marriage certificates, divorce papers, or name change documentation.
Test Exemptions: Bring proof if you qualify for exemptions from the English or civics tests due to age and residency requirements.
Proof of Residence: Documents demonstrating continuous US residency over the required period (e.g., rental agreements, utility bills, official mail).
Proof of Marriage (if applicable): If applying based on marriage to a US citizen, provide evidence of a bona fide marriage (joint financial records, photos, affidavits from friends/family).

Double-check the specific instructions in your interview notice and on the USCIS website, as requirements may change or vary depending on your situation.
Consider consulting an immigration attorney for personalized guidance on required documentation.

By being prepared with these documents, you can approach your naturalization interview with confidence.
