I just received the text message we have been waiting for "your case has been updated" I sign in (nervously) of course, and it says "YOUR CARD HAS BEEN ORDERED" WOO HOO :energy::dance: !!!

I have a few questions, my husband is leaving this sunday to visit family in turkey for a month - it's obvious he wont' have his new greencard and will have to use his old one and the letter extending it a year (good until Jan 2013) Does anyone see him having any problems when he returns the beginning of november?

Also we can file his citizen papers after October 11, would it be us to have them complete and then me mail them after that time, even though he is going to be out of the country? or should we wait until he returns and then file them?

Thanks!

Tebrikler!!He shouldnt have a problem with returning with the letter plus expired GC. Regarding the Citizenship paperwork personally I would prepare and mail it after he is back in the US. There is a section in the Naturalization form which requires the total number of days youve been out of US in the last 5yrs and other such questions with dates and countries visited. It is always safer to fill it in once back as you know with traveling the unexpected may happen and the vacation can be extended or shortened.
