His choice of countries (regardless of whether ones agrees with that order or not) is very interesting. I wonder why the ones that were harboring true terrorists were not included.

His proposed list does not include Muslim-majority countries where the Trump Organization has done business or pursued potential deals. Properties include golf courses in the United Arab Emirates and two luxury towers operating in Turkey. Not sure if that's entirely why some are included and some are not, but that's what can be seen when you follow the money.

Received our Oath Ceremony letter over the weekend and it's scheduled for 02/03/2017! Almost done!

Had the naturalization interview today and my husband passed. Was told to wait 2-4 weeks for the letter about the Oath Ceremony. Almost done! 

Updating mine.

My husband had a cosponsor for his K1 Visa. No issues at all.

We're getting ready to file for my husband's naturalization and just had a few questions for those that have gone through the process. Is it ok if I send the requested documents in just black and white copies? Our printer ran out of colored ink and it's expensive to replace so I was hoping I could just send black/white copies and then if they want to see the originals I can bring those along if needed.

Here's what we're submitting so far:

1. N-400 application

2. Check with Form G-1450

3. Photocopy of front and back of permanent resident card

4. 2 photos

5. Tax return transcripts that I was able to print for 2013, 2014, 2015

6. Bank statements from July 2016 and July 2015 (they only go back one year) with both our names on account

7. My (US citizen) birth certificate

8. Marriage certificate

9. Birth certificates for both our children, born in 2012 and 2015.

Not sure if there's anything else missing that we should include. We relocated out of state last December and before I was listed on more items with him such as our vehicles and lease. Our new lease that we currently have I am not listed on. I am not listed on either vehicle as they are both in his name from when he purchased them new (and sold our old ones).

I could include copies of our health insurance cards that list us all on them as well as our car insurance. I do not have any income as I'm currently a stay at home parent so our bank account has me listed, but I have no income coming into the account. Hopefully that won't matter. Just want to make sure there's nothing I'm forgetting that could help/hurt us.

Thanks!

Was his father physically present in the US or possession at least five years, at least two of which were after the age of 14, but prior to the child's birth?

Thanks! So it sounds like we should be ok just sending a copy of the return for this year.

We're starting to get the documents ready for my husband's N-400 filing which he can send in on March 2nd. We currently have copies of the tax transcripts from 2011 and 2012 that we got last year when we filed for his ROC. We have filed our 2013 taxes but just have the tax return copy (we filed online) that we printed off. Would it be ok to just submit that with the two previous years of tax returns or would we be better off going to the local IRS office to have the 2013 transcript printed off? I just don't want to make a trip downtown and deal with the hassle if it's not totally necessary.

Yeah for Brazil. You would both complete one. I filled out mine with zero income and a letter explaining that was in college and was not employed then had my cosponsor fill out the same paperwork and submitted with their birth certificate. (You'll have to do the same for the AOS as well if still using the cosponsor).

When I petitioned for my husband I was in college and had no income. I used a cosponsor for both the K1 and AOS without any issues.

Here's all the details from when my husband had his medical exam.

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/270248-medical-exam-review/

The bank statements I sent was one for every four months (so quarterly basically). We had lots of deposits and withdrawals. For the credit cards that we had, most had only been open for a year or less. I scanned each of our cards, side by side on a printer showing that we both have a card, same credit card company with each of our names on them (showing we both are users on the accounts), then I printed off the most recent statement for each card, most are in just my husband's name but it shows that there are two cards on the account (or at least transactions made from both cards). All our cards at the time were pretty much maxed out, so I don't think having debt on the cards matters at all, if anything it would probably show that they're not just for show, but are actually used. The reason I did the statements with the credit cards was because not all of our cards have the same number on his and mine, so it would show better that they are actually linked cards (authorized users).

Ours has finally showed up at the main sort facility in Des Moines. So hopefully that means it'll be headed our way. Tomorrow would be great, but I'm thinking it'll probably more like Monday before it gets delivered. At least it's in the same state now.

Still waiting on our card. It was mailed out on Tuesday with the 2 day shipping but the last update on USPS is that it went through their Sort Facility in Knoxville, TN on 9/10. No card yet or new updates. I'm hoping it'll show up sometime next week and didn't get lost some place. Scheduled delivery date is still showing as 9/12.

Mine was the same way, and still is. No circles filled in and nothing showing under "Your Case Status" either on ours.

Received a text/email today saying the card was shipping out today, then just received another with the tracking number! Looks like we should have it by Friday. They even put $100 insurance on it. Haha! I'd say it's worth a lot more than $100.

I'm thinking maybe it looks like a few of us got these white letters that appear to be from the Nebraska Service Center, maybe they have to notify CSC or something to get the card ordered and that's what triggers the status update online. Or I could be completely wrong. Either way I hope yours changes soon! I was checking all week long for the card in the mail, now I know I can give it a week or two before I start checking every day again, since now I have a more definite date of when it was ordered.

Received a text today about our status changing so I checked it and had this message, "On September 6, 2013, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you." So it seems the plain white letter is official!

That's exactly how the one we got looked.

My husband received his approval letter and his online status still says Initial Review. The letter we received was very different from the normal looking letters they send out, just typed letters on a blank white sheet of paper, doesn't even show the receipt number on the paper. Looks like ours was sent to the Nebraska Service Center and was approved from there. So I have doubts that our status will ever change from Initial Review.

After reading the instructions I don't necessarily see that it's saying it's required to send affidavits. It asks for as many documents as you can... should include but not limited to. But it doesn't say it requires. I'm sure if you don't have a lot of other documents to provide then the affidavits might help. For my husband we did not send affidavits. We sent the birth certificate from our son born after we were married, our lease from our current home as well as a letter explaining our living situation prior to our current residence, tax transcripts from the last two years and a letter explaining why we did not have tax transcripts for the first year, bank statements/credit card statements which I provided for every quarter (some send every month, we did not). We had a lot of documents showing co-mingling of finances through several credit cards, bank accounts, medical/dental/vision insurance, car insurance, membership cards, and our ids showing the same address. We sent very few pictures and no affidavits. We must have had enough proof in the documents that we sent to show a good faith marriage whereas I'm sure those who don't have as much to show, the affidavits might help.
