Getting Ready to Apply for U.S. Citizenship
Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is doing real good I haven't visited this forum since May that was when my husband had his conditions removed on his conditional green card. Since May of this year he has been a permanent resident without any conditions. What a relief. I want to once again thank everyone who responded to all my post with helpful information, words of wisdom, encouragement and support. I couldn't have done it without all your help and support.
I have some questions once again that I am hoping some of you very knowledgable & experienced people can assist me with. My husband is getting ready to file for his U.S. citizenship based on his marriage to me (U.S. citizen).
Besides completely filling out the application what other supporting documentation are you supposed to send in with your application? Where to you get the most recent application from? Where do you send the application for U.S. citizenship? we live in San Diego California. Does anyone know the exact address & department we send it to? We are hoping we can file ourselves and not hire an attorney since our case is so simple and straight forward. I would really appreciate very much if someone could please assist
me with these questions?

All your questions can be answered by going to www.uscis.gov, and reading about Naturalization there. The form you need is N-400. There are instructions and guidelines on the form, and on the website.
Congratulations to your husband.

Hi June,
I just filed for Naturalization last week.
This is what I sent:
1. Form N-400
2. Check for $400 (application fee and fingerprinting fee)
3. List of my trips outside of United States that did not fit in N-400 form
4. Copy of my expired 2- year residency card
5. Copy of my removal of conditions approval letter
6. 2 ADIT Photos
7. Our marriage certificate
8. My husband’s birth certificate
9. Copies of our joint checking account statements
10. Copies of our joint residence rental lease
11. Copies of 2003, 2004, and 2005 joint tax returns
12. Copies of our joint car and renters insurance policies
13. Copies of our health care policies
The USCIS site just got a major change, so all the forms and fees are up to date. There used to be a Guide to Naturalization, but the link doesn't work right now ( it didn't for me). Maybe because of the site makeover.
If I'm correct all the N-400 are being sent to
Nebraska Service Center
P.O. Box 87426
Lincoln, NE 68501-7426
Good luck!

Does anyone know the exact address at the California Service Center where we would mail my husband's N 400 U.S. Citizenship application to? I don't want to just guess and take the chance that his application ends up getting lost or routed to a different section/unit within the CSC. We want to make as best an effort as possible to hopefully ensure his N 400 experience goes as smooth as possible. Responses would be very much appreciated. Thanks again.
