American husband, Russian wife. What address should be used on application for citizenship?

My wife has been in this country for 15 years, on a green card. She wants to apply for citizenship. We have two addresses, one in Northern Michigan (where I work) and one in southeastern Michigan, where we spend most weekends. Her driving license has one address listed, and mine has the other. Does this make a difference to INS? We have joint bank accounts, and years of tax returns, proving that our marriage is sound and working. Any other tips for making this a smooth process?American husband, Russian wife. What address should be used on application for citizenship?
My hubby is from Germany and we married in 2002. We found there was no really smooth way to get through the process. So much expensive paperwork!!! He got his citizenship in 2005.





The most important thing will be to choose one address and only use that one on everything. I think you should use the one on her DL as she will have to copy that and turn it in with the paperwork.





There will be plenty of interviews, so you will be able to actually speak to someone and explain it all, as well. Believe it or not, we had to have friends write little reports on how we were really in love and a couple!!!American husband, Russian wife. What address should be used on application for citizenship?
At this point it doesn't matter she is married or not.


File promptly every necessary documents. At the citizenship interview she will be on focus not the marriage life and you event won't be allowed inside the building.


She must to do everything on her own. Make sure she will be ready about American History and civics and she has writing skill to pass the tests.


Sometimes it takes 10 minutes, sometimes an hour. Depends on million things.





Good luck!
Since your wife is an LPR I would use the address she has registered with USCIS. By law when an LPR moves they are given 10 days to register their new address with USCIS. If you decide to use a different address than the one she has registered then make sure she changes her address with USCIS.





An immigration officer will bring this question up.
Where do you receive your important mail? That is the address you should use. Also, given that the interview will take place during the work week, you should use that address. Just make sure that the address she has registered with USCIS matches.
Since she already has a green card for 15 years, she will not need to show proof of marriage when applying for citizenship. Use the address where you check mail the most often.
you can use both, one as the mailing address and the other as place of residence
