To begin with, neither passport stamps nor their translations is required when submitting initial application. Only bio - pages are required. Submitting passport stamps and translation is addtl docs... which you are against. ...
i always said i'm against of sending any (and i mean any) additional document with initial application. to have them ready is what i always recommended.
anyway this argument is not getting anywhere.
like RussCan said, I only can tell what happened in my case: i did not send any additional document, I had 4 addresses in the 4yrs prior to apply, 3 out 4 yrs self-employed and another citizenship application denied in 2006. this time the all process was little less than 5 mts.
i wish everybody good luck and wise judgement in approaching the process of applying for citizenship.
