What is the latest trick used by USCIS in cases involving marital evidence? Hi, Jim Hacking, an immigration lawyer practicing law throughout the United States, here in St. Louis, Missouri. I was a little shell-shocked the other day when I went to an interview and experienced something that has never happened before. I have a client and his wife who have been married for many years. I have every reason to believe that it's a completely legitimate marriage. We were going for my client's naturalization interview. My client is from India and his wife is from the United States. They have been married for three years, so they can apply for naturalization under the 3-year rule.

And that's what we had done. We submitted a ton of evidence of the marriage. The couple traveled together, lived together, and combined all their assets. They have a ton of evidence that the marriage is legitimate. However, something happened at the interview that really surprised me. The officer said that she wanted original mail that came to the house. She was not happy with computer-generated bank statements or documents from the internet. I'm not talking about birth certificates and marriage certificates, as those things always require the originals. But at this N400 interview, the officer was expecting us to bring not only copies, but also the originals of junk mail envelopes and similar materials.
