Husband lost his job

We applied for citizenship in February and in March my husband lost his job (layoff). Is this going to affect our citizenship?

no. There is no financial component to citizenship and the I-864 is terminated the moment you take the oath.

What kind of financial information do you need to prove at the interview? The 3 years of tax transcripts and bank info aren't enough? Do you have to bring proof of employment for both people? And isn't the affidavit of support still in effect up until the oath is taken? This is the first I have heard of more financial requirements. It seemed to me that after AOS there was less financial info required.

No. And the tax returns are not to prove employment or income, they are to prove you met the obligation to file taxes. There is NO income requirement at all. Bank statements of a joint account prove you are still living as married people, which IS a requirement.

It seems Corporations are not the only ones going Overseas, everyone on VJ is going oversees to find a non-American Men or Women ???????????????

That is an AMAZING coincidence! We are actually hoping that the foreign spouse will bring a job with them!

Perfectly crafted words!

Unfortunately for me, an actual experience with our no-fault divorce laws. While I had positive proof that my ex blew $80,000.00 at our hearing recently, judge said that doesn't count. Asked what was left, replied, I think one can of beans, he said, she gets half of that.

Hey, I have a great wife now, but did wonder at her oath ceremony, they didn't give back my I-864, stamped nulled and void.

Another thing that occurred to me in the manufacturing business, if I were to purchase all of the needed components in town, would go broke in an instant. Have to buy world wide to stay in business. Even more important than they is finding good mate, so why was I limiting myself to just looking in town when the whole world is there?

But this had one unfortunate outcome, learning about the USCIS. Ha, even meeting new people and asking me about my family, did you ever hear about the USCIS? What in the hell is the USCIS is the usual reply I get.

A government agency that holds an ax above your neck.
