Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

I got my green card through VAWA after I got divorced from my abusive ex-husband. In November of this year, it would be almost 5 years since I became a green card holder. I am now ready to file for US citizenship.

My question is, are there additional documents that I need to submit on top of what is being asked on the N-400 which are back and front copy of my green card and divorce papers from my past 2 marriages. I am now not married and I still use the same name that I had before I married the abusive ex.

Thanks!

No, you should not need any other evidence with the N-400. If you owe back taxes, you will need evidence of a payment plan. If you have been arrested or convicted of a crime, you will need your court dispositions. If you have been out of the country for more than 6 months at a time, then you will need proof that you did not abandon your residency. good luck!
