It depends on what other evidence you have. What I've gathered from other posts in this forum is that affidavits are generally considered weaker evidence. But if that is what you have you should obviously include them. I chose not to because I felt we had enough evidence such as financial co-mingling, assets, taxes, etc...

That's right!

Just received a text message confirming receipt of my I-751! Case number starts with IOE...

From the manual: 3. Males Not Required to Register The following classes of males are not required to register for Selective Service: Males over the age of 26; Males who did not live in the United States between the ages of 18 and 26 years; Males who lived in the United States between the ages of 18 and 26 years but who maintained lawful nonimmigrant status for the entire period; and Males born after March 29, 1957 and before December 31, 1959.[10] I think what you are referring to is this: Applicants Under 26 Years of Age The applicant is generally ineligible. Applicants Between 26 and 31 Years of Age The applicant may be ineligible for naturalization. USCIS will allow the applicant an opportunity to show that he did not knowingly or willfully fail to register, or that he was not required to do so. Applicants Over 31 Years of Age The applicant is eligible. This is the case even if the applicant knowingly and willfully failed to register because the applicant’s failure to register would be outside of the statutory period. The two are indeed different, as @Mike E points out!

Awesome! Let me know if you have any other questions! Good luck!

Hey all, figured I might as well get the ball rolling! Sent my ROC package today, May 1st.

Hi all, for those of us that came to the US from Germany and are planning on naturalizing within the next 12 months or so while keeping their German citizenship, keep an eye on the developments regarding the change of the Mehrstaatlichkeitsgesetz here: https://www.abgeordnetenwatch.de/profile/hakan-demir/fragen-antworten This may be old news to some, but maybe it helps someone! Good luck everyone!

Thank you! This website is helpful, too: https://www.abgeordnetenwatch.de/profile/hakan-demir/fragen-antworten

Congrats, @randomstairs!

I appreciate the advice, thanks @OldUser

This is the answer I was looking for, thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thanks! Yes the mortgage comes out of our joint checking account, which I am submitting statements for!

That's why I want to give my CC company a heads up, so it doesn't bounce back.

Hi all, I want to give my bank a heads up to make sure USCIS' charge doesn't get denied next month. Can someone tell me what the actual charge will be? Is it "Department of Homeland Security"? Thanks!

Hi all, getting ready to file my ROC here in a couple of weeks. I feel we have some solid evidence, deed to our house, car titles, joint checking and savings accounts, retirement accounts, etc. When we bought our house last year my wife applied for the mortgage in her name because I was still a student at the time (not anymore although she still makes about 50% more than me) and didn't make a lot. Like I said, all the paperwork such as the deed, title insurance, home owners insurance has both our names on it. Should I even include the mortgage statements in our package? I am leaning towards yes as I don't want to make it seem like we were hiding the fact that our mortgage is in her name SHOULD they send an RFE later on. Interested to hear your thoughts... Thanks!

It's ridiculous... if they keep this system I will gladly give it up. Good luck with your ROC!

Hey I think our timelines are very similar, I am about to file my I-751 as well! I am also hoping to keep my German citizenship, let's hope they pass the new law this summer as promised...

I second that, no need to hire an attorney unless you have some legal concerns. I adjusted from F1 myself and if you put in the time you can totally do it yourself. Good luck!
